at the magical sleepy hollow, for gloucestershire quarter final in the national village club knock out. 

where stapleton take on congbasbury. 

this is 3rd tier vs 4 tier, with both plying their trade in the west of england premier cricket league. congresbury 87 for 4 after 13 overs. 40 overs aside. 

both teams dareing to dream of a september final at lords. 

32 regions, with 8 teams in each. 

 with the 32 regional winners making up the last 32.


Yesterdays result from sleepy hollow, and an easy 164 run victory for congress bury. not totally unexpected as this was 3rd tier vs 4th, and the home side only having 4 first teamers available too. put into     congressbury mustered a seemingly below parr total  of 222 all out and only batted 36 of 40 overs. michael fisher, top scoring with  a belligerent 64 including 14 4s. next top scorer michael edmonds with 29. mani Bevan, 3 for 33, james slade, 2 for 34, will meller, 2 for 25  and ash birkenshaw, 3 for 35 all  with impressive bowling figures for stapes. 

but they crumbled meekly to 58 all out. 

in just 20 overs, but they were actually 30 for no loss from  4, with a top score of 18. michael edmonds with very impressive bowling figures of 5 for 9, and will aires, 3 for 14. to congress-bury will now be at home to north petherton in the regional semi of the avon and somerset group, still 6 long games to the lords final in September.
