St Cross Symondians finished the season with five straight wins, but the impressive finale came to little too late for them to make an impact on the ECB Southern Premier League championship.
They finished a disappointing fourth, well behind the Hampshire Academy, who lifted the title for the first time with a tense two-wicket victory over South Wilts in a winner-take-all final match.
Burridge, whose second from bottom 2024 finish was in complete contrast to the heady 'double' of a summer earlier, lost their first four wickets for 19 at the Green Jackets, two each to Matt Howarth and South African Kyle Pluke.
They needed all-rounder Oli Southon (35), Dan Stancliffe (30) and Inayat  Ullah (28) to bail them out of trouble but the visitors were eventually bowled out for 171 with Charlie Gwynn contributing a miserly 2-22 from his 9 overs.
As usual, Gregor McKenzie went off like a train, smashing 58 off 38 balls, backed up by Jack Bransgrove with 53. The pair had posted an opening stand of 91 before the end of the 14th over. Ben Foster added 29 runs, but a mini-wobble meant that St Cross lost five wickets in pursuit, but had the game wrapped up in 33 overs.
