Draw For 2011 Clydesdale Bank 40 Confirmed

The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has confirmed the composition of the three groups for the 2011 Clydesdale Bank 40.
As in 2010, the 18 first-class counties, along with the Netherlands, Scotland and the Unicorns - a team made-up of England-qualified cricketers who don't hold first-class contracts - will be split into three groups of seven, playing each other once home and away before the three group winners and runner-up with the best record, advance to the semi-finals.

Reigning champions Warwickshire have been placed in Group B while runners-up Somerset will meet 2010 semi-finalists Essex in Group C.
Group A: Derbyshire, Kent, Middlesex, Netherlands, Sussex, Worcestershire, Yorkshire
Group B: Durham, Hampshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Scotland, Surrey, Warwickshire
Group C: Essex, Glamorgan, Gloucestershire, Lancashire, Nottinghamshire, Somerset, Unicorns
