With the 3 Pool winners with the best Net Run Rate qualifying directly for Finals Day and the remaining 2 Pool winners contesting a Playoff week commencing Sunday 19th June (home ground advantage to team with better NRR in their pool) pending the final result on the 17th June, we can confirm
– Oxford Downs CC and Cropredy CC have qualified directly for Finals Day
– Final result between Aston Rowant CC v Peppard Stoke Row will determine who qualifies from Pool 4 and whether they, or Challow & Childrey CC qualify directly for Finals Day or meet Abingdon Vale CC in the Playoff week commencing 19th June.
Good luck to all teams remaining in the competition and look forward to seeing the final 4 teams at Bicester & North Oxford CC .
