Bears Women intend to finish their season on a high when they take part in the Vitality Women's County T20 Finals Day at Portland Road on Sunday (8 May).

Having won their group in impressive fashion, Dominic Ostler's side now will participate in a Finals Day with the same opposition as they played in the group.

The Bears kick off the day at Portland Road with a semi-final against Gloucestershire at 10.30am. Somerset then meet Cricket Wales in the second semi at 12.30pm with hopefully the Bears waiting for them in the final at 4.30pm .

"It would be great to win the tournament," Ostler said. "The girls played some very strong cricket with bat and ball to win the group and now we just want to take the momentum on from there.

"We had a really good day down at Gloucester last week. Marie Kelly's batting was exceptional with a 15-ball half-century, but there were a lot of other good performances around that. The regional tournament starts next week and our girls will go into that with a lot of confidence after playing so well in these opening games and hopefully the Sparks can carry on where the Bears leave off, with some wins."

Entry is completely free at the Edgbaston Community Sports Ground from 10am ahead of the opening semi-final.

There is newly installed seating area within the ground and toilets are available on-site. Teas and coffees are also available to purchase inside the Pavilion. Limited food will also be available to purchase from the Pavilion once the players have eaten.

The Match Centre on edgbaston.com is the best place to follow live scores. We’re also making Finals Day our first live streamed games from the Edgbaston Community Sports Ground.
