Third placed Calmore Sports have the opportunity of building on their encouraging start to new life in British Gas Southern League Division 1.
They have already beaten Bournemouth, Liphook & Ripsley and Hoook & Newnham Basics.
Tomorrow’s visit to lowly Tichborne Park marks the start of a month when Calmore can kick on and begin to mix it at the top of the table.
But skipper Mark Lavelle is forced to change his new ball attack as Steve Wright, their economical left-armer, has gone overseas to Canada for three years.
Calmore Sports: Lavelle, Cook, Johns, Perry, Rutter, Manning, Rose, Proudley, Pegler, West, Newton.
Table toppers Basingstoke & North Hants, six points ahead of Calmore, look for an improved display in the field when they visit rock bottom Rowledge.
“We floored six catches losing to Liphook last week and our overall fielding wasn‘t good enough,” fumed skipper Mitchell Stokes.
Former Durham University all-rounder Will Phillips, pictured in full flow left, returns at Rowledge, who are weakened by the absence of key all-rounders David Lloyd and Chris Board.
Rowledge: B Wish, Gleave, Morant, Treble, Randall, Metcalfe, J Wish, Keeley, C Yates Snr, Plater, Martin.
Basingstoke: Stokes, Belcher, Phillips, Oates, Griffiths, Dyer, James, Metzger, Connor, Thankachan, Nurse.
Bournemouth seek an improved batting performance when Liphook & Ripsley visit Chapel Gate, but their visitors will be fired up after winning at Basingstoke.
Bournemouth: N Park, Bridgen, Matthews, C Park, Hurley, Bollom, Jones, Clutterbuck, Wilmore, Michaelowski, Pack.
Sarisbury Athletic host enigmatic Portsmouth will a full strength side, including Ricky Rawlins, who inspired last week's 103-run win over Rowledge.
Sarisbury Athletic: Journeaux, Rawlins, Floyd, Bolton, Sanders, Hill, Lovett, Mills, Wright, Allmark, Jewell
Ventnor are boosted by the return of James Cheek and Neil Westhorpe for Hook & Newnham Basics’ visit to Newclose.
Ventnor: Snell, Herridge, Van Greunen, Miller, Cheek, Westhorpe, Corbin, Woodhouse, Attrill, Zeph Wells, Willis
