Blackheath Cricket Club play host to Bath in the semi-final of the London Club Championship on Sunday.

Up for grabs is a meeting in the final of the prestigious competition with either Northern or Chester-le-Street.

The game starts at midday at Rectory Field and all are welcome.

Blackheath booked their spot in the last four with a thrilling  home victory over East Anglian Premier League leaders Swardeston in the quarter-finals.

Batting first, captain Chris Willetts enjoyed a partnership of 79 with Michael Thornley for the hosts.

After the former was dismissed, Thornley put on 50 with Dipayan Paul to put the hosts on 162-2.

Thornley was out for 58, but Paul hit 56 before becoming the first victim of Matthew Taylor, who finished with 3-35.

A late flurry of wickets saw the Blackheath innings close on 230-9.

The Swardeston reply started well as opening pair Peter Lambert and Jordan Taylor put on 55 before Lambert was out for a quick-fire 38.

Three more wickets followed as the visitors found themselves at 75-4.

After James Hands had Richard Sims caught and bowled, they were struggling at 100-5.

However, Jeremy Elliott and Matthew Taylor recovered the Swardeston innings with a stand of 98 before Elliott was bowled by Warren Lee for 51 from 49 balls.

With the partnership broken, Blackheath sensed their chance and Hands took the key wicket of Taylor for 56.

Thomas Mees then finished off the tail to dismiss Swardeston for 220 and secure Sunday’s home semi-final tie.
