Tom Burge failed to play any further part in Friday night's final after injuring his hamstring, while Cats champion Jon Nicoll was also troubled by a similar complaint.

Burge has been in good touch with the bat for the Cats this year, while Nicoll's record speaks for itself as a six-time Wagga Cricket Player of the Year.

Nicoll was named Man of the Match in the 10-wicket win over Wagga RSL as he produced an unbeaten 73 off 47 deliveries, after taking 1-12 off two overs with the ball.

Wagga City captain Josh Thompson suspected Burge's hamstring was in worse shape of the two.

"I think Burgey's is gone and I don't know about Jono," Thompson said after the game.

The injuries will test the Cats, who will resume the one-day competition later this month as narrow ladder leaders over South Wagga.

"Obviously we got a few injuries tonight so we'll have to get a few blokes from second grade and a few blokes that have been batting lower to go up and do other roles but I think we're blessed with our young kids that we have," Thompson said.

"It's exciting for them, they get an opportunity and hopefully they go well."

Thompson was pleased to take out the Twenty20 competition but is not going to let his team rest on their laurels.

He maintains they still have plenty of work to do if they are to go back-to-back.

"We've still got a lot of things to work on, mind you," he said.

"We're still not fielding that great. I think our bowling in one-day cricket, because it's a little bit longer, is a little bit harder. If a batsman wants to knuckle down and face 50 balls, they can do that, in T20 they've got to get on with it. So it sort of suited us in that aspect.

"We've definitely got to work on our bowling and our fielding."

Thompson was named Man of the Series for the Twenty20 competition, an honour he was taken aback by.

"I'm surprised to be honest but you don't play for the individual accolades," he said.
