Woodlands have been beaten by Wrenthorpe for a third time this season.

Having defeated the 2011 JCT600 Bradford League champions in a pre-season challenge match for the Worthington Sports Trophy, the Central Yorkshire League champions also ousted the Oakenshaw club from the Solly Sports Heavy Woollen Cup and now they have knocked them out of the Black Sheep Yorkshire Champions Trophy semi-final.

Wrenthorpe's run machine Gary Fellows produced another batting masterclass as he guided his side to victory.

Fellows made a splendid 112, which included three sixes and 11 fours, in a total of 258-7, and he shared an opening stand of 90 with Dan Wood (39).

Sam Frankland, who was pressed into action as a bowler when Sarfraz Ahmed could only manage one over after injuring himself playing football in the warm-up, took 4-49.

Woodlands promoted the big-hitting Ahmed to open but, despite hitting one big six, he was one of four batsmen back in the pavilion as Woodlands plunged to 20-4.

Chris Brice (48) and Steve Piercey (43) shared a sixth-wicket stand of 50 but Woodlands were dismissed for 141, with Greig Batty (4-31), Joe Ellis (3-13) and Tom Glover (3-39) sharing the wickets as Wrenthorpe won by 117 runs.

Holders Whitley Hall and Wrenthorpe will meet in the final for the second successive year.

Whitley Hall defeated Woodhouse Grange by seven wickets to book their place in the decider at Elsecar on Sunday, September 16, and it will be the first time that the same teams have contested consecutive finals in the 36-year history of the competition.

Jaco Castle, man of the match when Whitley Hall beat Wrenthorpe by five wickets in last year's final, was a key figure in their semi-final win.

He smashed three sixes and 11 fours as Whitley Hall chased down Woodhouse Grange's 193-7.

Neil Longhurst (46) and Alex Welch (32) were the other main contributors for Whitley Hall as they romped to victory.

Woodhouse Grange, who will play Reed at Lord's in the National Village Knockout on September 9, built their total around the efforts of Nick Hadfield (59), Tom Young (57no), and Mike Burdett (41).
