Wednesday 30th July 2014

Women

After a tightly fought T20 Regional Finals day, and then comprehensive final round victory in the Royal London One-Day Cup, Kent Women head to National T20 Finals Day with the opportunity to do the double – be crowned Championship and T20 National Champs. This would be a repeat of Kent’s achievement in 2011.

Head Coach Stuart Eddicott has made one change to his 14 strong squad that played at the Regionals with Hannah Jelfs replacing Deanna Cooper. ‘It was great to win back our Championship title but now all our concentration is on T20,’ stated Eddicott, ’everyone is focused and determined to achieve the special milestone of having the double.’

Hosted by Middlesex Cricket, at the RAF Ground, Uxbridge, on Sunday 3 August, Finals Day has the three Regional winners, Middlesex, Nottinghamshire and Kent, playing each other in a single round competition. Kent face the hosts first up at 10.30am, with the winner earning a rest whilst the loser competes with Notts at 1.30pm. The final match of the day pits the first match winner against Notts at a match schedule to start at 4.30pm.

The winner of the tournament will be decided on points earned with each win awarded 4 points, a cancellation or abandonment 1. Should teams be on the same points then the tie breaker will initially be based on most wins and if a third criteria is needed it will be net run rate.
