2010/11 Barber Cup semi-finals: Olavians and Salopians through into the final

Who can stop the Old Olavians? The Kent side marched into the final again with a routine victory over a plucky but outclassed Old Edwardian outfit and it will be up to second seeds the Old Salopians to try and deny the Olavians their eighth successive victory in the Alan Barber Cup. The Salopians saw off a determined challenge from the Lancing Old Boys in the other semi-final and now have three weeks to decide on the best line-up and team tactics to break the Olavians dominance.
