Game 1: Cheshire 143-9 (20 overs), Staffordshire 147-4 (18.
Cheshire resume their NCCA T20 campaign this Sunday (14 June) with a double-header against Staffordshire at Burslem CC.
After sharing the spoils with Shropshire in their opening Group 1 fixtures at Didsbury, Harry Dearden's side head to the Potteries looking to strengthen their push for a place in Finals Day.
Cheshire showed both sides of their T20 game in the opening round.
Confidence will be high, however, following last Sunday's impressive KO Trophy quarter-final success over Norfolk.
Now attention switches back to the shortest format, where every point could prove crucial in the race for qualification.
Staffordshire will provide another stern test, but Cheshire travel with momentum, confidence and plenty of belief as they look to continue an encouraging start to the summer.
The first game is at 11am, it's free to get in and refreshments are available all day.
The second game will see the sides compete for the 'Bailey Gill' Trophy - one of the quirks of a Cheshire/Staffordshire clash.
Established in 2017, Cheshire President David Bailey and old Staffordshire foe Peter Gill agreed any game between the two sides (one selected if a T20 double header), should be contested for the trophy.
Staffordshire are the current holders following victory at Nantwich last year.
Cheshire booked their place in the 2026 KO Trophy semi-finals with a commanding 58-run victory over Norfolk at Sprowston CC, overcoming early adversity before producing a performance full of character and resilience.
Making their first visit to the impressive Norwich venue, Cheshire arrived with a reshuffled side.
After winning the toss and electing to bat, Cheshire quickly found themselves in trouble.
Norfolk's bowlers struck regularly, never allowing the visitors to settle.
What followed transformed the match.
Harry Dearden and Kevin Carroll came together amid the chaos and produced an innings-defining partnership of 118 for the seventh wicket.
As their confidence grew, so did the scoring rate.
The Norfolk attack, so dominant in the opening stages, suddenly found itself under pressure as Dearden and Carroll took control.
By the time Dearden departed for a superb 69 and Carroll followed for an equally valuable 77, the complexion of the game had been completely altered.
With runs on the board, Cheshire's bowlers seized the initiative.
Henry Dobson, Corrin and Will Valentine applied the early squeeze, keeping Norfolk behind the required rate and forcing the hosts to take risks.
Norfolk never managed to build the momentum required to threaten the target.
Corrin led the attack with an outstanding 3-35, while Brooks claimed 2-33 as the hosts closed on 203-7, 58 runs short of their target.
The victory capped a hugely satisfying week for Cheshire, who showed tremendous character after a demanding schedule and a gruelling cross-country trip the previous evening.
Attention now turns to the semi-finals, where Cheshire will once again travel to Cumbria.
A special thank you goes to Mike Hanby, Chair of Norfolk CCC, and everyone at Sprowston CC for their outstanding hospitality and for creating a superb atmosphere.
Cheshire: Sam Perry (Alderley Edge, captain), Dan Newton (Lindow), Henry Dobson (Oxton), Matt Strong (Neston), Henry Murray (Toft, wk), Jack Corrin (Oxton), Harry Dearden (Woodbank), Will Valentine (Alderley Edge), Kevin Carroll (Brooklands), Isaac Brooks (Lindow), Will Street (Didsbury).

Derbyshire 233-8 (20), Cheshire 142 (18.
Cheshire now travel to face Norfolk in the KO Trophy quarter finals after a narrow DLS defeat in a rain affected game at picturesque Keswick.
The visitors struggled to post 122-9 from 32 overs before Cumbria chased down a revised 91 in a late finish.
Steady rain threatened to washout this final Group 1 match but after an early lunch, the game got underway at 2.
An intriguing on-off afternoon/evening ensued with runs and sunshine at a premium and the temperature struggling to climb above baltic.
Harry Dearden led the Cheshire side in Sam Perry's absence and there were returns for Luke Young and Xander Selby.
Cumbria included ex-Cheshire man Calum Rowe who now lives in Carlisie .
Invited to bat first, Cheshire got off to a poor start with the top order struggling against the seamer's accuracy on an akward track.
At 41-4, Will Valentine (25) and Dearden's (35) disciplined approach improved the standing, aided by Henry Dobson (15).
A final total of 122-9 however felt below par as Cheshire struggled to recover from their poor start.
With few runs to play with, it was always going to be an uphill struggle for the visitors but to their credit.
Ben Walkden (32*) and Matt Semphill (15*) eventually saw their side home after more rain fell.
Cumbria now host Group 2 runners-up Staffordshire in the quarter finals, Cheshire travel to Norfolk on 7 June.
A mention for the umpires - Steve Beswick and Jordan Montgomery-Else - who kept the game moving in difficult conditions.
Cheshire side : Harry Dearden (Capt - Woodbank), Luke Young (Hyde), Andy Jackson (Hyde), Dan Newton (Lindow), Alex Money (Chester Boughton Hall), Henry Murray (Wk - Toft), Kevin Carroll (Brooklands), Henry Dobson (Oxton), Isaac Brooks (Lindow), Xander Selby (Woodbank), Will Valentine (Alderley Edge) 12th man Liam Clorely(Toft).
