National Village

posted by John Winn

I have been asked by a few people ( well a small number that reminds with few) if I could provide an update on the National Village KO Cup (sponsored this year by Yorkshire Tea) so I have done a bit of digging and offer the following.

Like the National Club KO the competition has been bedevilled by the weather with some ties decided by bowl outs and the toss of a coin. This Sunday will see five games in the last sixteen stage take place

Apperley (Gloucs) v Wraysbury (Berks)

Sibton Park (Kent) v Plumpton and East Chillingworth (Sussex)

Cropston (Leics) v Quatt ( Shropshire)

Paultons (Hants) v Goatacre (Wilts)

Reed (Herts) v Mistley (Essex)

Three outstanding games from the previous round will also be played this Sunday

Northop Hall (Cheshire) v Burneside (Cumbria)

Carew (Pembrokeshire) v Water Orton (Warwickshire)

Woodhouse Grange (North Yorks) v Freuchie (Fife)

and three teams await the outcome of these three ties

Streethouse (West Yorks)

Bretforton (Worcs)

Sessay North Yorks)

In the National Club KO Cup the three outstanding games were completed last Sunday with York, Ockbrook and Borrowash and Havant coming out as winners.

Ockbrook were champions of the Derbyshire League in 2011 and they travel to York on Sunday to decide who will make it into the last eight. Six other ties in this round will be played this Sunday with the remaining game between Neston and Kidderminster scheduled for a week later.

I will try and update this posting on Monday.
