Somerset members turned out in large numbers at the County Ground today to queue for tickets for the Cheltenham and Gloucester Final at Lord's.

Chief Executive Peter Anderson told me this morning: "Interest in the club is very high and I am delighted for the players. We are now in two cup finals, against Leicestershire on September 1st, and the second team play Surrey at Taunton on Monday September 10th."

Anderson continued: "At 7.30 this morning there were 150 members queued up outside waiting for the office to open, plus the phones haven't stopped ringing all morning."

Somerset have been allocated 4,500 tickets for the final, which are on sale to members initially. If there are any remaining unsold by the end of this week they are likely to be available to the general public as from next week.

Tickets are also available to members and the general public direct from Lord's on telephone number 0207 4321066, or through their website – linked below.

Entry to the Second X1 final on September 10th, which Somerset have reached for the first time in 10 years, and which has never been staged at The County Ground is free to members and £3 to non members.
