Tom Bruce (Central Stags Captain): "Yeah it was sensational to be honest. You want your top order to step up. The batters stepped up and it felt good for me to contribute and finish off the game.
Yeah we spoke on it to be honest. It was a tricky surface but I feel we bowled really well. Got some early wickets which gave us some momentum.
Yeah for sure we will take the positives from this game and hopefully we carry on with the good form."

Max Chu (Otago Volts Captain): "Credit to Brucey and Young for putting that innings together. If you lose 3 wickets in the powerplay, you can't put up a big score but credit to Johnson he was exceptional. We love coming to play here, there's great support always. Few days off and then we face Canterbury."
Tom Bruce (Player of the Match): "Yeah we have been training really well and I just wanted to get out there and enjoy my time at the middle.
Yeah when I walked out to bat, the change was in the balance so we wanted someone to bat till the end. Really pleased to contribute for my team.
Yeah it's a bit sore. Hopefully a bit of ice and I will be fine."
