Acomb moved smoothly to the final of the Myers and Burnell Cup with a 19-run victory over Osbaldwick.
Acomb now play Woodhouse Grange at Clifton Park on August 3 (1.30pm start).
Acomb batted first and benefited from a productive unbroken first wicket stand between Sanjay Rodrigo (93no) and Rich Sykes (58no).
Their total of 154 was a solid platform for victory, but it soon seemed huge when Tim Merrick's opening four eight-ball overs yielded two wickets for only 13 runs.
Osbaldwick staggered to 45-5 when Dave Sykes joined the party with a couple of wickets. However, Damian Aston (60no) and Steve Levinson (26) had other ideas and their bold hitting almost brought victory within grasp, but Jamie Byford came on at the death to grab a couple of victims and secure the final play for Acomb.
