EDGBASTON CLAIM SEMI-FINAL SPOT
Edgbaston clinched the final semi-final place with a home win over Hallamshire in Group A's deciding match, and will face Chichester in the semi-finals. Chichester romped to the group B title with a 5-0 win over a weakened UK Packaging team, while Broxbourne slumped to a 5-0 home defeat which consigned them to meeting a full-strength Nottingham team in the semi-finals. Group winners Nottingham and Chichester both selected to play the first leg of the semi-finals at home on 18th March.

Semi-final first legs, 18th March:
 Nottingham v Broxbourne, Chichester v Edgbaston
