GOODRICH Cricket Club will face Ruardean Hill in the Forest of Dean Hundred Plate final at Monmouth this Sunday (19 July) after reaching the final with a six-wicket win at Aston Ingham.

Jack Lewis (81 not out) and Jack Waldis (4-25) shone for Goodrich in their Plate semi-final last Wednesday.

Angus Bartlett (94) led Aston to 183-6 but Lewis’ match-winning knock from just 38 balls, and 55 from Harry Porter swept Goodrich to the target with just four deliveries remaining.

Ruardean Hill booked their Plate final berth with a 46-run triumph at Parkend.

Adam Underwood (61), Sam Skelton (44) and Finley Jones (35 not out) propelled Ruardean to 170-3 from their 100 balls.

Parkend skipper Robbie Jones then hit 59, but tight bowling and sharp fielding from the visitors kept the hosts to 124-7.

Former Marches League champions Monmouth will host Lydney in the Forest Hundred Championship final at 4pm following the Plate final, which starts at 1pm.

Monmouth sealed their place in the main final after a 53-run win at neighbouring Penallt & Redbrook last week.

Harry Hughes (32), Ben Lander (26), Matthew Jones (26), Osian Jones (21 not out) and captain Ben Pilot (19) all contributed to lift Monmouth to a challenging 160-5 in their semi-final.

The impressive Sam Uttley (3-16) was Monmouth’s most successful bowler as last year's runners-up restricted Penallt, who once enjoyed a stint in the Marches League, to 107-7 from their 100 deliveries.

Reigning-champions Cinderford, who topped the ladder stage this term, crashed to a five-wicket home defeat to Lydney in their semi-final.

After posting 121-7 from 100 balls, Cinderford battled hard but Lydney reached the target with 29 deliveries to spare.
