Bath and Bramhall to contest National Final at Lord's
ECB Media Release - 4 September 2001

A winning cash prize of £6,000 is at stake as Bath Cricket Club, from Somerset, and Bramhall Cricket Club, from Cheshire, contest the final of the National Club Championship at Lord's on Thursday 6 September.

The prize-money has been donated by competition sponsors, play-cricket.com, the ECB's recreational web-site partner, and guarantees the losing finalists a £3,000 consolation.

Of the two finalists, from a competition which featured 379 original entrants, only Bath has ever previously made it to Lord's - in 1998 when it lost to Yorskire's Doncaster Town. This year it crept into the final courtesy of winning a low scoring semi-final at High Wycombe.

In a rain affected match of 37 overs-a-side, High Wycombe batted first and posted a score of 117-9 with Stuart Priscott returning impressive bowling figures of 7-1-11-3. In reply, after being 67-6 at one stage, Bath was steered home by an innings of 27 not out from Gregg Brown, winning by three wickets with 3.5 overs remaining.

Bramhall Cricket Club, meanwhile, won its semi-final match by four wickets over Scotland's Ayr Cricket Club. Ayr's captain, Albert Simpson, won the toss, elected to bat, and scored an unbeaten 75 from his team's total of 216-6 in the alloted 45 overs.

Bramhall's victory, achieved with 2.2 overs to spare, owed much to young opening batsman Paddy McKeown, who has had trials with Lancashire and Essex and who scored 105. Andy Hall also made a valuable contibution with 42 runs.

The 45 overs-a-side National Club Championship Final will start at 11.00am.
