The first of the semi finals takes place tonight as Burway take on Chester Road. Burway have never reached the final, losing in the semi final back in 2013 to the Bowring so will be looking to make the Alan Mayhew Final for the first time. Chester Road won this back in 2011 beating Newport at Bicton and have also reached the final 6 times so will have experience on their side in trying to reach their 8th final. Both teams have shown good home form this year so gaining a winner or two away from home could be crucial in getting them to the final.<\/p>\n
The other semi final between Newport and Meole Brace takes place on Wednesday 24th June, with the final three days later at a venue to be confirmed by the management committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
