Sam Billings (Oval Invincibles Skipper): "Absolutely. Really pleased for everyone. Tom Curran has been our star man. From day one, honestly, a lot of work went behind the scenes. But it made the difference on the pitch and you can see that. I was in that position and hopefully, we will see these kids in action in the future. I can't thank the coaching staff enough. The work that goes behind the scenes was great. They don't get the credit but a huge thanks to all those guys. These are the kind of moments that don't keep in your career more often and you try to enjoy with your family and friends."
Tom Curran (Hero of the Match):"I don't know but really pleased. The boys have done a very good job and we deserved to win and really proud. We were not in a great position so we decided to build a partnership. Neesh also played very well. The Hundred has been absolutely phenomenal this year. The crowd has been amazing and the energy is great. Really really happy. We have played well in the last 2 years and the difference this year is that we have won close-fought games. Very very happy."
Hero of the Match: Tom Curran
Jamie Overton (Most Valuable Player of the Hundred 2023):"Nice to contribute. Not able to finish on the winning side in the final but happy with our efforts. It is a great fun. Absolutely loved the format. It's different to T20s but really enjoying my time. I was in good form."
