Somerset Board Eleven travel to Lakenham to take on Norfolk
Richard Walsh - 12 September 2001

The Somerset Board Eleven set off for Lakenham today for their second round match on Thursday against Norfolk in the 2002 Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy.

Before they set off team manager Peter Robinson told me, "It will be a tough game. Norfolk are a strong team and have just won the 38 county competition and beaten Holland, so we will have our work cut out."

The Somerset team that travelled to Norwich is, Kevin Parsons (Captain) Brian Hoyle, Kevin Sedgebeer, Matt Bulbeck, Matt Dimond (all Taunton St Andrew's), Matt Gitsham (Wembdon), Michael Coles, Steve Davis (both Bridgwater), Gareth Andrew and Rob Travers (both Glastonbury) and Joe Tucker (Keynsham).

If the Somerset Board Eleven are successful they will host a first class county in the next round, which will be played next season.

Friday is the reserve day for the game should it be unfinished tomorrow.
