Sub-Team KO Semi-Finals

Veterans League

The Sub-Team KO is for teams that finished outside the top 32 teams in the League last season and as we reach the semi-finals stage this Friday we have two teams from Division 3 and two from Division 5 left in the competition.

It sets up an interesting pair of matches as the divisional rivals are kept apart so we could end up with an All-Division 3 final or an All-Division 5 final or neither of those. Outlane are the highest placed of the four teams as they sit in the lower half of Division 3 and they take on the lowest placed remaining team, New Mill 'B', who sit in the bottom four of Division 5. That could have been a much lower position if it hadn't been for a 6-match winning run through June and July.

Huddersfield Recreation Club will welcome the distraction of a KO semi-final from their plight of being in the relegation places in Division 3 and could even use a good result as a starting point for recovery. Although in 5th place in Division 5 Broad Oak 'B' could still have a say in the promotion race and the confidence that an appearance in a Final could bring may have ramifications beyond the Team KO itself.
