Calmore Sports can be excused if their minds wander towards the events unfolding alongside Bournemouth’s Hurn International Airport.
That’s where ring rusty Bournemouth face Basingstoke & North Hants in a match critical to Calmore’s British Gas Southern League Division 1 title prospects.
Calmore travel to the Isle of Wight to play Ventnor with an unexpected 15-point lead tucked under their belts. That’s as a result of Basingstoke conceding second place with a totally unexpected defeat by Rowledge in front of their own May’s Bounty followers last week. Calmore have injury doubts over all-rounders Mike West and James Rose.
Calmore Sports: Lavelle, Perry, Cook, Johns, Manning, Rutter, Proudley, Rose, Pegler, West, Newton, Croft.
Basingstoke look to bounce back from the Rowledge upset against a Bournemouth side that’s hasn’t picked up a bat in the past three weeks.
Their recent matches against Hook & Newnham Basics, Calmore Sports and Liphook & Ripsley have all been washed out.
Basingstoke: Stokes, Metzger, Belcher, Froud, Phillips, Vinn, M Harsham, Griffiths, Jolley, James, A Neal.
Fourth placed Hook are still in with a shout, but need a win at Sarisbury Athletic to boost their claims.
Matt Journeaux plays his last Sarisbury game for 12 months before commencing a teaching appointment in the Emirates. He hands the captain’s armband across to in-form Ricky Rawlins.
Sarisbury Athletic: Journeaux, Rawlins, Floyd, Mills, Sole, J Hill, Wright, Sampson, Freemantle, S Hill, Jewell.
Rowledge are without the influential Steve Martin for their vital relegation game against Portsmouth, but Nick Morant and Ricky Yates are back. Australia-bound left-arm spinner Andrew Marston misses out for Portsmouth.
Rowledge: Wish, J Wish, Morant, Treble, Plater, Lloyd, Metcalfe, R Yates, Randall, C Yates, Keeley.
