Kirtley’s comments

“First of all, it must be said what a brilliant achievement it is for the team to have reached this stage of the competition, and the boys are now building belief.

“The Club and the team are excited about the game tomorrow; we have played some great cricket in recent games. The home form has been strong, and we will look to continue to play that brand of cricket at Hove that has given us such success.

“These young players have captured the imagination of the fans, they’ve broken so many records along the way, both individually and as a team.

“Our job from the side is to keep everybody level headed and be able to stay in the moment, and hopefully if we play anything near to our best cricket we will come away successful and look forward to a final.”
