With no spare day available the semi finals of the SET had to be concluded yesterday, if necessary by bowl out but despite a poor day's weather both games produced meaningful cricket, At Taunton a start was possible at 2:15 and in a 34 over game Leicestershire won the toss and chose to bat. If 186 for 9 looked a decent score it wasn't enough for Somerset got home by seven wickets with 21 balls to spare.
Somerset's opponents in the final will be Lancashire who got the better of Kent at Canterbury. Here the game was reduced to 33 overs and then 22 because of rain. Kent opted to field on winning the toss and Lancashire hit up 156 for 5. Duckworth and Lewis were brought into the action leaving Kent needing 176 off their 22 overs. They got off to a very good start being 74 for 1 off 10, enter Parkinson, Matthew not Michael, and the young spinner took 4 for 17 to see the red rose home by 11 runs.
The final will be played on Thursday, venue and times to be announced.
In the Under 17 Championship some play was possible at Arundel but not enough to give a definite result and Surrey won the championship by virtue of their first innings advantage over Lancashire
