Best of north and south meet in final

North Riding WCC (Yorkshire) and Gunnersbury WCC (Middlesex) will face each other in the ECB Premier League Women's Club Final on Saturday 1st September, having won their respective North and South Premier League Divisions.

The match takes place at Campbell Park, Milton Keynes, starting at 12 noon.

North Riding field several players from Yorkshire's Championship-winning side which retained the County Championship crown for the tenth time in 11 years earlier this month.

England U-19 Captain Arran Thompson will open the batting for North Riding, together with Melissa Reynard, who narrowly missed out on an England place this summer after seven years with the senior team.

Overseas players will feature in the final with Gunnersbury's Cahndra Kaul available, the ex-India captain who assisted Middlesex to promotion in the County Championships and has proved a prolific run-scorer this season. North Riding field the ex-Holland international Van Noortwyck; both players now live in England.

This will be Gunnersbury's first appearance in the Premier League Final following promotion in 1998. North Riding contested the final in 1999, losing to Kent side Invicta LCC.
