Two cracking semi-finals lined up in Cricket Welsh Cup North Zone

The Cricket Welsh Cup North Zone tournament is now at the last four stage after Denbigh became the last team to qualify for the stage listed as round three on Sunday.

Denbigh thrashed Gwersyllt Park by 162 runs at Ystrad Road to progress to the North Zone semis where a home meeting with Brymbo awaits on July 12.

In the other semi, Northop Hall will entertain Colwyn Bay in an all-Liverpool Competition First Division clash.

Denbigh are the only northern team remaining in the competition who have not won the Welsh Cup at some stage.

Sunday’s meeting with Gwersyllt, both teams being members of the North Wales League Premier Division, saw Denbigh win the toss and elect to bat, piling up 269-6 off 40 overs.

Openers Ranija Abeysinghe (62) and Finley Rooke-Hart (54) made a great start with a stand of 137.

Number three Sam Lewis added 48 and skipper Andy Clarke made 40 as the hosts advanced to that large 250+ total.

Jake James picked up 3-30 and Jack Billington 2-43 for Park.

The Wrexham area visitors were never at the races in reply, collapsing to just 107 all out in 21.5 overs.

Shaun Nash snapped up 4-13 off five, Ifan Jones bagged 3-31 and Sturart Griffiths 2-36 for emphatic winners Denbigh.

The semi-final winners will meet in the final where the victors will go forward to the national draw.
