County age-group semis

Following a rain affected series of quarter-finals, four counties from each age group have now made the semi finals of the ECB competitions.

The matches are due to be played this Saturday August 28.

Matches will be held at the following venues

U13

Kent v Wales; Lancashire v Yorkshire - Ellesmere College, Shropshire

U15

Hampshire v Devon - Kings College, Taunton; Kent v Oxfordshire - Cheadle Hulme School

U17

Kent v Wales - Ellesmere College, Shropshire; Sussex v Somerset - Campbell Park, Milton Keynes – 12pm start

The draw sees last year's U13 winners, Yorkshire, take on their rivals Lancashire for a place in the final.

In the U15 competition last year's finalists Wales and Sussex have failed to qualify and the competition will see a new winner this year.

For the U17 competition Yorkshire won in 2009 and will not retain the trophy this year as they lost to Kent in the quarter final stage. However last year's runners up Sussex are still on course for the final.

The national finals will be held at Hatherley & Reddings CC (13 and 15) and Bishop Stortford CC (17) on Saturday September 11.
