Portsmouth’s lead at the top of Southern Electric Premier Division 2 has been trimmed to 20 points after last week’s surprise defeat by improving Bashley (Rydal) II.
Harry Collier returns for the visit to ‘hit or miss’ Tichborne Park, who have the capability to cause an upset – or crumble themselves.
OTs & Romsey climbed into second place after Paultons’ demise at Fawley and, provided Chris Wood comes through Hampshire’s NatWest t20 Blast at Chelmsford, will take an unchanged side to Hursley Park.
Paultons and Langley Manor are, geographically, probably the closest rivals in SPL cricket – and both need to win. Paultons had their promotion bid knocked off course by Fawley. Langley Manor are seven points adrift at the bottom.
Paultons: Richman, Robinson, Wateridge, Feltham, Hall, Linge, Collins, Murrell, Lamb, Pike, Denney.
Sparsholt, with an important Davidstow Village Cup tie against Wraysford at Locks lane on Sunday, 1pm, hand an SPL call up to Kenyan ‘legend’ Dave Waters, whose past performances are often seen on Pathe News. Sparsholt host Fawley.
Sparsholt: Worth, Ruffell, Dunford, Tognarelli, Haworth, Gough, Waters, Doubell M, Vokes, Dilley, Foster.
Bashley (Rydal) II chase a fourth successive win when Hambledon come to the BCG. Bash are brimming with confidence, but Hambledon, minus Rupert Hetherington, Mat Jones and all-rounder James Marshall, are still in a state of shock after last week’s nine-wicket thrashing by Hursley Park. Will Mann and Ian Turner are back.
Bashley II : Dan Friedman, Ryan Taylor, Chris Vaughan, Simon Ridley, Andy Neal, Simon Morris, Ross Grierson, Neil Taylor, Chris Gates, Jonny Bettle, Sean Read.
SPL3 leaders Waterlooville, minus opener James Scutt and Hampshire Under-15 spin all-rounder Archie Reynolds, go to Totton & Eling II, who stunned South Wilts II last week.
The outcome of the Trojans-Gosport Borough match at Stoneham Lane is likely to be key in the promotion frame, but South Wilts II can ill afford another slip at the bottom side, Alton.
Lymington II include the talented Ambrose bothers, Felix and Finn against Havant II at the Sports Ground.
Lymington: Kelly, Edwards, Sutherland, Felix Ambrose, Robinson, C Moors, Finn Ambrose, Layman, Molloy, Robertson, Gregory.
