Leigh glee as Ealing reach final

Leigh Parry took the honours as reigning champions Ealing booked their place in the final of the Evening Standard Challenge Trophy.

The 28-year-old was man of the match, with figures of four for 16, as the holders crushed Bishop's Stortford by 81 runs.

Ealing, runners-up in 2005 and 2006, rattled up 260 for nine, with half-centuries from David Holt and Simon Hawk. They then bowled out the visitors for 179.

Their opponents in next month's final at The Oval will be Sunbury or Wimbledon, who play their delayed semi-final on Sunday.

Malden Wanderers, meanwhile, are through to the National Cup final. They will face 2004 champions Kibworth, from Leicestershire, at Lord's on 9 September after beating Waltham by 24 runs.
