Somerset Seconds won their vital match against Hampshire at North Perrott on Monday, after the scores ended equal.

Originally it had been thought by all those at the ground that the result was a tie, but Somerset Coach Kevin Shine told me today, "There is no such thing as a tied match in the competition.

When the scores are equal it is the side who lost the fewest wickets who win, which was Somerset."

This is good news for Somerset, who now need to beat Worcestershire at Keynsham on Monday in their final match to be sure of reaching the semi finals.

Should Somerset lose on Monday then it is likely that Hampshire, who have a superior run rate, will go through.
