By Mark Bristow Leeds & Broomfield are facing a huge logistical challenge as they aim to clinch their place in a Lord's Final this weekend.
Leeds make the 300-mile trip to Truro in Cornwall on Sunday for their National Village Cup Semi-Final against Grampound Road with a visit to the home of cricket on September 3 awaiting the winners.

Leeds completed a 12-run win in the Quarter-Finals of the Village Cup two weeks ago away to Ashmanhaugh and Barton Wanderers in Norfolk but any hopes of a kinder draw in the Semi-Finals were scotched when they were handed the 600-mile round trip to Cornwall.
