Semi Final Results

Semi Final 1

Trent College 228 bt Chapel en le Frith High School 70

Semi Final 2

The Ecclesbourne School 255 bt West Park 101

On a day where runs were easily scored with clear blue skies above and fast outfields, we saw some big scores posted during both semi-finals. These both proved too much to chase down with Trent College and The Ecclesbourne School progressing into the afternoons final, with Chapel and West Park to go into the 3rd/4th place play off.

3rd/4th Place Play-Off Result

Chapel en le Frith High School 168 bt West Park 163

West Park posted a challenging score of 163 form their 20 overs. However, the chapel opening batters made it look easy with an impressive opening stand of 120. This then put Chapel in control of the game, and they knocked off the runs with 3 overs to go.

Final

Trent College 117 bt The Ecclesbourne School 115

Ecclesbourne were put into bat by Trent and the Trent bowlers made it difficult for the Ecclesbourne batters to score freely. At the end of the 20 overs Ecclesbourne scored 115. Ecclesbourne stayed in the game all the way through with plenty of chances going their way but unfortunately, they could take them chances, and with Trent’s opening batter scoring 56 which helped guide Trent to win the game in the 18th over.

The Derbyshire Cricket Foundation would like to thank Trent College for hosting the finals day and helping to make the day a success. Also thank you to our 4 umpires for the day helping to manage the games on field.
