Table topping Trojans are back to full strength for a testing Southern Premier League Division 2 encounter with third-placed Calmore Sports at Stoneham Lane, 1pm.
Mario Mohammed, who missed last week’s win at South Wilts, returns for a buoyant Trojans team chasing a sixth straight win.
With 381 runs, including one century and three scores of 50 or more, skipper Ed Boyd, pictured, is the lead run scorer in the entire Premier League.
Calmore got back to winning ways at Hambledon last week – they surrendered their unbeaten start to Tichborne Park – and have James Rose, Paul Proudley and the influential Tommy Pegler back on duty.
Trojans: Williams, Boyd, Pope, Mahmood, Babidge, Le Bas, Truscott, J Wright, Donaldson, Mohammed, Wazir.
Calmore Sports: Lavelle, Goodrich, Hardy, Johns, Moss, Perry, Rose, Pegler, Newton, Proudley, S Wright.
Tichborne Park, 12 points behind in second spot, face an immediate rematch with Hambledon, with whom they fought out an epic Village Cup county final on Sunday.
Hambledon made 248-7 on the back of a magnificent 142 by little left-hander George Marshall and clung on to win by two runs. They host former Lord’s winners Shipton-Under-Wychwood in next Sunday’s opening national round.
Tichborne Park: W Allam, T Allam, Cheney, Ailing, Pond, Allen, Reid, Bristow, Skinner, Primmer, Long.
Hambledon: Bond, G Marshall, Nomo, Atkinson, Le Clerk, J Marshall, Chakrabarti, Glanfield, Bains, Chapman, Harding.
Pre-season favourites Sparsholt have lost twice, but will expect to win at Bashley (Rydal) II, who have lost all five games and are without workaholic all-rounder Simon Ridley, who made an unbeaten century at Hartley Wintney last week.
Sparsholt: Worth, Tognarelli, Kenway, Banks, Foster, Haworth, Ruffell, D Gough, J. Vokes, N Doubell, A Gough.
Fawley, who gave Tichborne Park a real run for their money last week, host second-from-bottom Hartley Wintney with 14-year old left-arm spinner Bailey Parratt retaining his spot after a four-wicket debut.
Fawley: Marks, C Earl, A Parratt, Nason, K Earl, Freeman, Smith, Rhode, B Parratt, Bryers, Bolton.
Paultons, an uncomfortable third from bottom, host South Wilts II at Whitemoor Lane.
