MCCU QF: Lincolnshire Beat Gloucestershire Convincingly 10½ : 5½

Last weekend Lincolnshire County Team faced to Gloucestershire in the quarter-final of MCCU. 
Match was played in Birmingham and convincing victory 10½ : 5½ opened the  doors for Lincs Team to semi-final which is going to be played in 8th June 2013.
Lincolnshire will be playing against strong team of Essex which hammered Norfolk 11½ : 4½ !!! No need to remind that it was the Essex who grabbed tight victory in the last year's SF in their mutual match as you can remember here.
But this year the situation can be quite different. Lincolnshire team is more mature and and players have been improving slowly but gradually so we can expect tough and interesting match.
