Guernsey announce Investec CI League Semi-Final knockout stage
Following the virtual washout of the final round of games last Saturday and, the settling of one game in the committee room rather than on the pitch the line-ups for this weekend's Investec CI League matches can be announced.
The four teams battling to be crowned the Investec CI League champions are holders Rathbone's Old Victorians who face fellow Jersey side Aztec Springfield and, last year's runners up Odey ORs who face Farmers Caesareans at KGV on Saturday. These games will feature a number of individual inter-island player rivalries ahead of the Marlborough Inter Insular Trophy on Saturday 3 September here in Guernsey and ICC WCL6 in Malaysia a fortnight later.
This year's format also sees the teams finishing third and fourth competing for the Investec CI League Plate Trophy and again there is inter-island competition as St Ouen and Infrasoftech Walkovers SCF take on PKF Wanderers and Argyll Investment respectively.
Finally Cobo Tigers and Cenkos Emerging Players will play on Sunday to determine ninth and tenth place which along with the eventual outcomes of the Semi Finals and Final will determine the final placings from which the 2012 Groups will be drawn.
Mark Latter GCB Chief Executive said, -now we get down to the knockout phase and the focus will increase as teams seek a chance of silverware. I have no doubt the Guernsey v Jersey games will have the usual intensity and it would be great to an "inter-insular" final on Saturday 27 August in Jersey.
