South Wilts and B.A.T. in view of Rose Bowl final
Mike Vimpany (as published in Daily Echo) - 7 July 2002
The Premier League's weather-ravaged Southern Electric Contracting Cup is edging towards the semi-final stage, with BAT Sports and South Wilts now within sight of the Rose Bowl final.
BAT, who have never won the trophy, edged into the semi-finals with a last-ball victory over Portsmouth.
But South Wilts cruised home by nine wickets after restricting Old Tauntonians & Romsey to 102-8 (Stuart Tulk 28) at Lower Bemerton.
Paul Draper (3-20) and Rob Wade (3-38) did the damage before an unbeaten 57 by Russell Rowe, supported by Jon Nash's 34 not out, eased South Wilts towards a home semi-final tie against Rowledge or Burridge.
The two rain-delayed quarter-finals are scheduled to be played tomorrow evening (TUES 9) - weather permitting.
Burridge face the tea-time trek to Rowledge, while Easton & Martyr Worthy are eyeing up a potential shock against Bashley (Rydal).
Scheduled matches -
Tomorrow (Tuesday):
Quarter-finals: Easton & Martyr Worthy v Bashley (Rydal), Rowledge v Burridge.
Semi-finals:
Tuesday July 16
BAT Sports v Easton & Martyr Worthy or Bashley (Rydal)
Thursday July 18
South Wilts v Rowledge or Burridge.
The final is scheduled to be played on the main Rose Bowl arena on Friday August 2.
