As if there was not enough cricket on Sunday August 6th with the county championship having the audacity to interrupt the seemingly endless procession of T20 matches and in Yorkshire several cup finals and semis, see our August fixture list for more details, the Village Cup will stage the two semi finals. Holders Sessay, having made short work of Hawk Green last Sunday, will travel to Worcestershire outfit Astwood Bank. Sessay have not really been tested so far but surely can expect a closer contest from a club running several men's sides, a women's XI and an almost endless list of junior teams including three for girls. For what it's worth the first of these many elevens lie second in the Birmingham and District League Division Three. The club has reached the final of the competition on two occasions but has not, as yet, troubled the engraver.
The other semi final is between Reed CC, always strong contenders, and making the journey to Hertfordshire, Aston Rowant CC, currently top of the Home Counties Div 2. Another tasty prospect for the discerning pcw.
Returning to Sessay, tomorrow seems them back in league action and for successive Saturdays a top v second occasion when they will be at home to Studley Royal. Sessay currently enjoy a 44 point lead over their visitors and victory would extend this to almost unbridgeable levels. Just a twenty minute drive for me but York v Harrogate also whets the taste buds so who knows? Not me as yet.
