We're in the final!

Well done to our Second XI, who beat Somerset at the County Ground in the semi final of the two innings of twenty overs 40 over competition, a title that rolls so easily off the tongue...

The full match report can be seen on the club site. You can tell that we meant business by the fact that our batting order was Madsen, Hughes, Park, Sadler, Clare and Borrington...A fine century by Chesney Hughes saw Derbyshire home in a good day's cricket.

To be fair, there was a sprinkling of first team experience in the opposition, including Nick Compton, who must be wondering why he left Lords at present after a wretched season. You could also argue that the Derbyshire players all needed a knock anyway after mixed form this season. The bottom line is that we're in a final, where we play Sussex.

If the first XI can replicate that one we will have few complaints!
