The Stan Bann Cup semi-finals also take place on Saturday at 2pm, with Culcheth Sports B tackling Tetley Cat at Crosfields No1 while on the adjacent No2 green Monk Sports A will go toe to toe with Penketh Park.

Finalists are now also known in a number of Warrington Public Parks’ League competitions.
