The Isle of Man have qualified for the final of the ICC European Under 19 Division Two Championship after a big win over Spain at King William's College today.

After winning the toss, the hosts quickly elected to bowl first in overcast and slightly damp conditions. They then tore through the Spanish top order, reducing them to 29-6. Matthew Ansell took four wickets, including three in four balls, just missing a hat-trick when a ball bounced just over the top of the stumps.

Spain staged a mini recovery, but were eventually bowled out for just 79, extras being the top scorer with 21.

Group B of the ICC European Under 19 Division Two championship saw both matches record a result, with France and Israel beating Norway and Belgium respectively.

A delayed start at Cronkbourne reduced the match between France and Norway to 47 overs, and France quickly had the Norwegians on the back foot with captain Thomas Liddiard bowling well with three wickets to reduce Norway to 21-4.

France let Norway back in a little though, conceding 21 runs in extras, and when rain brought an early end to their innings, Norway had scored 86-6 in 27 overs.

On a day of rain at Vagabonds, Spain secured their first win of the U-19 Division 2 European Championships, beating Germany when bad light finally brought an end to the match at 7.30pm.

In a match initially reduced to 43 overs, Germany won the toss and elected to bat first. A 45 ball half century from captain Steven Richards led them to a total of 122-6 from 28 overs before rain brought an end to their innings.

After a lengthy rain delay, play resumed with Spain needing to chase 154 in 28 overs to secure their first win of the tournament.

Denmark continued their winning ways at the ICC European Under-19 Division Two Championship with another big win, this time over France at King William's College.

In what were initially overcast conditions, and after a slightly delayed start, Denmark captain Christian Peck-Thorsted didn't hesitate to bowl first after winning the toss. France initially made a reasonable start, and were 33-1 after 10 overs.

But that didn't last, and in the end they were bowled out for 74, with only three batsmen making double figures. Aqeel Amjad was the pick of the Danish bowlers with 3-20, Saif Yaqoob and Hamid Shah also taking two each.

At Cronkbourne, hosts the Isle of Man had a big win over Germany.

Batting first after winning the toss, the Isle of Man scored at a steady rate throughout their innings, reaching 215-8 from their 50 overs. Jack Rowlands top scored with 35, whilst Steven Richards was the pick of the German bowlers with 3-25.

Germany's reply started badly when in the third over of the match, pace bowler Dan Hawke, who has had a trial at Lancashire this season, clean bowled three batsmen in the same over, leaving Germany in tatters at 5-3.

Italy eventually pulled off their third win of the tournament, but they did their best to lose the game after a batting collapse against Gibraltar at King William's College.

Gibraltar had won the toss and chose to bat first, a surprising decision given the initially overcast conditions and slightly damp pitch, which led to the match being reduced to 41 overs. They struggled against the Italian bowling, with Scott Chipolina the only player to reach double figures with 21, batting with a runner for part of his innings.

Gibraltar were bowled out for 78 in 27.3 overs, with Roshendra Abeywickrama and Muhammad Asghar both taking three wickets.
