National Quarter Finals

posted by John Winn

As Brian has described, a pleasant warm day at Masham today and if the absence of sunshine was a little disappointing the black clouds that menaced in the morning did not produce any rain.
Leaving the details of the day in Brian's hands I thought an update of the two national club KO competitions might be of interest.

Both competitions have more or less got back on track after so many postponements and the quarter finalists are now known. In the Yorkshire Tea sponsored cup for village teams Sunday sees an all Yorkshire tie pitting East Yorkshire's Woodhouse Grange against West Yorkshire's Streethouse with a 1:00 pm start at Sutton on Derwent.

The other quarter final ties are Water Orton (Warwicks) v Cropston (Leics)

Plumpton and East Chillington (Sussex) v Reed (Herts) and
Goatacre (Wilts) v Wraysbury (Berks)

In the Kingfisher Beer Cup for senior club sides the last eight stage ties are as follows

Kidderminster Vics v Bamford Fieldhouse

Barnt Green v Havant

Wanstead and Snaresbrook v Bridgewater

Cuckney v York

Tomorrow sees me off to Darlington for the start of a three day friendly between Durham II and Ireland A at the Feethams ground. It will be interesting to see if Durham play any of their desperately out of form first team batsmen. Failing that the buddleias should be in flower on the adjacent but unused for 9 years football pitch.
