Penzance to play at Lord's after making National Club Championship final

"It was an incredible day," Wadlan told BBC Radio Cornwall. "To put that sort of performance together in such a high pressure game was just a joy to watch.

"Christian was just at a different level, he's been outstanding throughout the whole competition, that was his third 100 in four national knockout games.

"So he set the tone. Him and Jack Paull have been exceptional opening the batting and we got to drinks and we were 200-2 and we thought 240, 250 on that wicket was going to be a good score so we were in the box seat from the first hour really."

Penzance will face Ormskirk in the final at Lord's on 20 September as they aim for a first-ever national title.

"It's an incredible achievement and you could see how much it meant to everyone around the ground," added Wadlan.

"I told the boys in the changing room that we savour the moment and just take it in and realise what an achievement you've made.

"Penzance have never achieved that, so going down in history there and playing for your home club at Lord's is going to be very special.

"We've got a couple of days to soak it all up and reply to all these messages and to really appreciate everyone's support and then on Saturday we're at home to Truro and hopefully we can clinch the league and finish off the season with a bang."
