CHESHIRE skipper Andy Hall has warned Suffolk not to expect a cosy visit to Lord’s in the Knock-Out Trophy final next Monday.
Hall is still smarting over comments made by Suffolk coach Andy Brown after the 2005 Minor Counties play-off final at Ransomes Sports ground, Ipswich.
The game ended in a tame draw with both sides sharing the pennant and Brown accused Cheshire of not attempting to make a game of it when they batted their second innings to 279 giving Suffolk no run chase.
However, Hall said: “We will not be going to Lord’s to have a jolly. We feel we have some unfinished business to attend to.
“What was said after the play-off final two years ago was unbelievable.
“We lost the first day through bad weather, and we were not going to throw away a share of the overall championship. It meant much more to us than that.”
