Bradley took just 29.5 over to beat Long Lee by ten wickets and clinch the Wynn Cup.
Long Lee were under pressure from the moment they lost the toss and were asked to bat first.
They lost their first wicket with the score on four then struggled to 34-4 before man of the match James Heseltine entered the fray.
His left arm spin caused havoc in the ranks. Skipper Mark Day hit a four off him and was stumped next ball as he waltzed down the wicket.
It was the start of a decisive four-over spell of 5-14. With Matt Simpson (3-19) causing problems at the other end, there was no respite for the batsmen.
One of Simpson’s deliveries hit the wickets so hard that it broke a stump. Tim Rudden, the only other bowler used, took 2-8 off five overs.
Richard Ayrton finished on 25no but six of the other batsmen failed to score.
Three wickets fell with the score on 42 and the last two with the total on 49. The innings lasted for 18 overs.
After an early tea, Bradley set about their reply with Chris Capstick and skipper Neil Andrews and they cantered to the winning post in 11.5 overs.
Capstick finished on 11no and Andrews (36no).
