Rovers have the daunting task of trying to beat unbeaten champions Cobo in the Guernsey Cricket Association Cup final after winning the second semi-final.

Rovers, who finished fourth in the island's Championship beat bottom side Optimists by two wickets on Saturday.

Optimists made 153 all out with Mark Jefferies scoring 64 as Luke Nussbaumer took four wickets for 28.

In reply Rovers made 154-8 with island batsman Tim Duke leading the way with 54 and Robbie Le Corre hitting 38.

Rovers won with around 17 overs to spare, despite collapsing from 90-1 at one point. Rovers now play Cobo, who won their semi back in May, in the final in September.

In Sunday's final Championship match of the season Cobo sealed their title as the dominant force in Guernsey, and possibly Channel Island, club cricket as they beat runners-up Wanderers by 83 runs at the KGV.

Island captain Stuart le Prevost and his Guernsey international team mate Jeremy Frith both smashed centuries as Cobo were 248-1.

In reply Wanderers could only muster 165 all out with James Warr top scoring with 75.
