"A reward for the players" says Peter Anderson after victory at Canterbury.

Minutes after seeing Somerset gain a resounding victory over Kent in the Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy Chief Executive Peter Anderson told me,

"This is a fitting reward for the players after they have struggled in the one day matches for much of the season. At last they are playing with some consistency."

He went on "it was good that they achieved this result without any major input from Andy Caddick, Marcus Trescothick, Jamie Cox or Peter Bowler. It was a good all round performance, especially from our bowlers who bowled very well."

With regard to the semi final tie he said "We're looking forward to playing Warwickshire at Taunton, and we will expect a full house for the match."

It is likely that the club will erect a portable stand to accommodate an extra thousand spectators, which will increase the capacity for the match to 7500.

Details regarding tickets will be made available as soon as the club get them, but the advice from Mr Anderson is to get tickets early.
