It may have been a new competition and a unique cup final, but the Bob Willis Trophy final on Sunday provided a familiar story. 'It's been a challenging year and at one stage we didn't think we'd get any cricket so to win the Bob Willis Trophy is amazing,' said Essex captain Tom Westley, who received a trophy here that was designed and presented by Bob's wife Lauren Clark. To win the Championship last year and now this is a reflection of where we are as a side.' 'Essex being Essex we will give it a good nudge and somehow have a few beers in groups of six.' And the likelihood is, whatever format, Essex and Somerset will again be right up there competing for next year's title.
