Worcestershire net final place

Worcestershire secured their place in the C&G Trophy final after a thrilling victory over Lancashire.  The win will see them meet Gloucestershire in the final, on 30 August at Lord's.

A brilliant final over from Andrew Hall - a double-wicket maiden - gave Worcestershire a dramatic 6-run victory over Lancashire.

The Worcestershire County Cricket Club web site, designed and developed by Box UK, enjoyed an unprecedented number of visitors during and after the semi-final, and the club and the website have been inundated with enquiries for tickets ever since they clinched victory in those dramatic last few overs.
