TODMORDEN will visit holders Burnley in the last eight of the Lancashire League T20 after the Centre Vale side booked their place in the quarter-finals with a comprehensive 10-wicket win over Accrington on Friday night.
The clash was the only game to beat the rain as the group stage came to a conclusion.
And it was Todmorden who got the victory in what was a winner-takes-all match for the final qualifying spot from the Blond Witch Group.
Weather reduced the encounter to an 11 over match with the home side putting Accrington into bat.
Visiting skipper Graeme Sneddon set off at pace as he clubbed 12 of the first 14 runs but he then fell to Ashton Turner for 21.
Turner finished with 3-24, including the key wickets of Stuart Crabtree and Jacob Clarke, as Accrington finished on 82-6.
Opener Keiren Grimshaw top scored with 31 before he was brilliantly caught by Martin Harlow.
Todmorden made light work of the run chase with Turner hitting an unbeaten 54 and Simon Newbitt adding 15 as the home side reached their target inside six overs.
Church topped the Blond Witch Group and they will host Ramsbottom in the last eight while Lowerhouse, second in the Blond Witch Group, host East Lancs. The other quarter-final tie sees Rishton visit Enfield.
The last eight matches take place on Friday.
