Cheshire kick off KO Trophy at Hitchin this Sunday

22 Apr 2025

2024 runners-up Cheshire will look to go one better in the this year's 50 over campaign when they start their season on Sunday against Hertfordshire at Hitchin.

With memories still fresh of last year's Final's Day disapointment against Norfolk at Wormsley, it's an opportunity for Sam Perry's white ball eleven to make their mark from the start.

The sides met in a group qualifiier last year at Hyde but the poor weather meant just two balls were possible. Prior to that, Cheshire lost out in a quarter final tie in 2017 at Harpenden.

This year's KO Trophy tournament swaps places with the T20 which will now be played in mid-summer.

Cheshire's group means Hertfordshire at Hitchin first up followed by a trip to Marlborough College to face Wiltshire, before home games at Toft with Wales Minor Counties and Dorset at Didsbury.

The winners and runners-up of the four groups then contest quarter and semi-finals leading to a July final at Chester Boughton Hall.

The trip to Hitchin gets undrway at 11am. Directions to the ground here
