EXHALL and Wixford reached the regional semi final of the National Village Knockout at the weekend.

The villagers travelled to Leicestershire where they beat Bardon Hill to reach the last four of the Warwickshire and Leicestershire section.

The visitors rattled off 151-5 off their forty overs before dismissing their hosts for 105 with four overs to spare.

But after away days at Cropston and Bardon Hill, Exhall and Wixford will be on the road again on Sunday June 8.

The villagers visit either Warwickshire Three strugglers Offchurch or Everards Leicestershire League Division One outfit Bitteswell.

The sides meet at Bitteswell on Sunday in a rearranged tie after rain intervened at the weekend.

It was a good weekend for Exhall who climbed to third in the Premier Division by beating relegation-haunted Wellesbourne at the weekend.

Wellesbourne were bowled for 121 with Wixford replying for four to pick up 19 league points.

And captain Scott Carmichael will be hoping to keep that good run going at home to basement boys Broadway on Saturday (2pm start).
