With table toppers, Leicester Lion Cubs opting to choose the fourth-placed team (either Cradley or Mildenhall) in the National League [NL] Play Offs, it is confirmed that the other semi-final will see third placed Kent TouchTec Kings take on second placed Belle Vue Colts in a two legged tie later this month.

Honours are currently even between the two teams this year with Belle Vue emerging triumphant over Kent in their two legged Knock-Out Cup quarter final but Chris Hunt's charges winning home and away against the Colts in the NL.
Kent team manager Chris Hunt commented, "This was the semi-final I think both sets of fans wanted, as the matches between the two sides already this season have been absolute thrillers - matches competed in an excellent spirit and a credit to the sport. It's a massive tie for us as we aim to get to our first Play Off Final in pursuit of the NL title and we are all looking forward to the challenge."
