Castlefields captain Steve Peach says “we look forward to facing our local rivals in a bid to reach another final of the Alan Mayhew trophy. The Hanwood green is always a test but one we always look forward to and I\u2019m sure all the lads will be up for this one with a place in the final\u00a0up\u00a0for\u00a0grabs!” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Holders Sir John Bayley take on St Georges who are looking to make it third time lucky in the Semi FInals in the last three seasons. Bayley vice-captain Tom Roden says “it’s going to be a tough match. St Georges have strengthened, their home green is always a challenge, and they have a handful of ex homesters to send to SJB. We’ll have to be at our best\u00a0to\u00a0go\u00a0through.” St Georges skipper Josh Bradburn is “looking forward to the game for a chance to reach our first final with our new team . It will be a tough ask but I feel it is definitely achievable as long as we are all on it\u00a0from\u00a0the\u00a0start.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
