There was more than bragging rights on the line for Epping and Diamond Creek in their Diamond Valley Cricket Association Barclay Shield clash on Saturday.
The two sides for the first time played for the Lever-McLean Cup which recognised club stalwarts John Lever and Tom McLean.
The match also started later, as they tried out more of a twilight match to try and get a big crowd down to watch.
It was Diamond Creek that went home with the win and trophy.
Diamond Creek batted first and made 6-161 from its overs. Ethan Kunelius took 3-34 for the Pingers.
The Pingers looked on track to chase down the runs at 1-107 but the wickets started to fall.
It went down to the final over with Diamond Creek doing enough to restrict the Pingers to 9-157.
Pingers skipper Tom Emmins continued his good form, top scoring with 74.
Elsewhere, Bundoora United lost to Riverside.
The Bulldogs made 9-151 from their 40 overs with Riverside making the runs with five overs to spare.
Riverside finished 4-153.
