Bourne’s win over the hosts in last night’s quarter-final means they will take on holders Oundle in the first semi-final this evening seeking revenge for their final loss 12 months ago.

It’s Oakham v Stamford Town in the second semi-final after quarter-final wins over Uppingham and Newborough respectively.

Stamford’s Chris Bore was awarded the ‘Champagne Moment’ prize for taking two wickets in the final over of a tight game.
