Worcester Park beaten in Lord's semis

Worcester Park were beaten in the semi-finals of the ECB national indoor six-a-side finals at Lord's on Sunday.

Park expected a tough test against Blaydon and so it proved, as the 2007 winners ran up 136-2 from their 12 overs at the MCC Indoor School.

Gary Marshall and Nicky Ball took an early wicket each to reduce Blaydon to 19-2 off three overs, but the North East Premier League side then batted superbly to post a big total.

Although Joe Hill (32), Rob Waite (22) and Marshall (35 not out) provided a spirited response, three runouts saw four-time Surrey champions Park fall 18 runs short on 118-5.

Southern Premier League side Havant went on to beat Blaydon by 38 runs in the final.
