Derbyshire Head Coach Karl Krikken is urging his side to finish Friends Life t20 with a flourish when they entertain Yorkshire Carnegie at the County Ground tomorrow night, 7pm start.

The Falcons can complete the double over their visitors and leapfrog them in the table with victory tomorrow in-front of what promises to be another sizeable Friday night crowd.

Friends Life t20 attendances and revenue are already up on 2010 with tomorrow's game still to go and Krikken is keen to thank the supporters with a win.

"The support at our home games has been tremendous throughout the competition," Krikken said. "It would be great to reward them with a win to finish the tournament.

"Twenty20 matches in-front of large crowds at the County Ground are great occasions and it's always nice for the lads to play in an electric atmosphere. We are determined to finish the competition on a high and with a victory."

There have been two previous meetings between Derbyshire and Yorkshire this season with the Falcons emerging victorious in both the Clydesdale Bank 40 and Friends Life t20 meetings at Headingley Carnegie.

Both sides have recorded impressive LV = County Championship victories in the build-up to the match; Derbyshire beating Glamorgan by 187 runs at the County Ground while Yorkshire beat Worcestershire by six wickets at Scarborough.

Gates open at 5.30pm and the cost of admission is £15 adults, £8 juniors
