They were the three words The News sport scribe of the day Keith Esson opted for in describing the climactic ending of the 1999-2000 Haisman Shield grand final between Central Park-St Brendan’s and Numurkah.
For good reason – in the 200th and final over of the grand final on the third day of play, the Shepparton Cricket Association’s biggest prize was still up for grabs, if only by a flicker.
But on 79 and within sight of a remarkable win, Numurkah’s number seven attempted one sweep too many.
The last wicket off 2000's Haisman Shield grand final ignited monumental Central Park-St Brendan's celebrations.
It marked the club's first Haisman Shield since Central Park and St Brendan’s merged in 1981, kick-starting a 21st century dynasty that has yielded 10 Haisman Shield titles, including a run of seven in a row beginning in 2004-05.
