DENMARK stand in the way of Guernsey and a place at the ICC World Twenty20 2012 Qualifier in Dubai.

The Sarnians cemented their place in this morning’s European Division One T20 Championship semi-finals in Jersey with a six-wicket victory over Gibraltar yesterday at the College Field.

However, Italy’s 98-run thrashing of Norway at the KGV saw them leap-frog over Guernsey on net run-rate to finish top of group A and earn a semi-final with Jersey.

‘The most important thing is that we are in the semi-finals and we have got a lot of confidence from the win over Italy [on Thursday] that against a good team we can turn up and deliver a quality performance,’ said Guernsey coach Andy Cornford.
