Eric Topham Trophy 2017

04 Aug 2017

After a fantastic edition in 2016 which saw one of the largest crowds seen at Blackfyne for many years witness Lanchester defeat Shotley Bridge in the final we are pleased to announce the draw for the 2017 edition. The same teams will be taking part as last year.

First round (quarter-final) matches are to be completed by Friday 30th June, Second round (semi-final) matches by Monday 24th July and the final will be held at Consett's Blackfyne ground on Friday 4th August. The competition follows all of the usual T20 rules with tight wides, free hits for no balls and so on with the only exception being bowlers can bowl 5 overs rather than 4 meaning only 4 bowlers are necessary. 

Big thanks to Andrew Waters for taking the time to organise it all again and we look forward to seeing how results pan out and who will end up winners this time around. Best of luck everyone!!
