Four battle through

The MCC Spirit of Cricket U13 National Club Championship has its four finalists.

Appalling whether conditions meant the North final at Woodhouse Grange and the South and West final at Axminster were both played a day later than scheduled, Wednesday a complete wash-out.

Washington (Durham) and North Cotswolds (Oxfordshire) will go through to join Wolverhampton (Staffs) and Cambridge NCI (Cambs) in the Finals Festival at Oakham.

Whoever wins on the 13th-14th of August will have the honour of being the first club in their county to win the championship.
