Southampton Solent's immediate future in the British Universities Premier Division hinges on the outcome of their play-off match against Bournemouth at Totton & Eling's Southern Gardens on Sunday, 1pm.
Lose to their local rivals and Solent will concede their cherished Premier slot alongside the MCCU sides they've played and often beaten in the past. Solent have lost all four games in a weather truncated season and a recent defeat at Bristol left them rock bottom of the table.
Bournemouth, who include Bashley (Rydal) pair Dan Goodey and Tim Taylor and are managed by Steve Wilson, will take Solent's place in the BUCS Premier in 2019 if they win. They won South 1 with a 100 per cent record from six games.
Luke Evans, Richard Lock, Ryan Murray, Ryan Scott, and Matt Stokes are among the local Premier League cricketers fighting Solent's corner.
With neither Bamber Gascoigne nor Jeremy Paxman available, Shaun Lilley and Dave Wright will take charge of the 50-over south coast University Challenge.
