Following what was a historic win with Gibraltar's first victory in a T20s Gibraltar Cricket President Tim Azzopardi issues the following message:-

“Today’s win is the culmination of months of hard work and perseverance from both our coach Paul Edgeller and a very committed group of individuals. It’s great to see our Captain leading from the front with a big innings and an impressive team performance with ball in hand. However, most encouraging for me is to see yet another emphatic performance from young Louis Bruce with bat in hand. The future of Gibraltar Cricket is in good hands.”
