Hampshire pair Felix Organ and Joe Weatherley will again look to bolster St Cross Symondians’ title push when the leaders host a depleted Bournemouth at the Green Jackets Ground, 1230.
They are named in a probable unchanged St Cross side which currently enjoys a seven-point lead over the Hampshire Academy ahead of the penultimate round of matches.
Wedding bound Robbie Pack, the batting hero of last week’s thrilling win over Burridge, is among the Bournemouth absentees.
St Cross Symondians: Ellis, T Foyle, Organ, Trussler, Weatherley, Lewis, Gwynn, H Foyle, Bransgrove, Beer, Haworth.
The Academy are once again without England U19 pair Eddie Jack and Dom Kelly for the trip to Totton & Eling, but Sam Ruffell expects to be back to bat in the middle order.
Raised at Southern Gardens, Academy opener Tom Cheater will play against his embryo club. Cheater made a century for Hampshire U18s in midweek.
Totton: Chapungu, Stephens, Morris, J Taylor, Mugochi, Griffiths, Hemsley, S Bracey, Beer, J Bracey, L Taylor.
Academy: Cheater, Mumford, Eckland, La Fontain-Jackson, Ruffell, Wright, Fairfax-Ross, Martin, Baker, Pritchard, Cordery.
Late season match-ups between Havant and South Wilts have frequently decided titles in the past, but both are looking to pick up the scraps at Havant Park.
Tom Morton, though, needs only seven runs to reach the magical 1,000 milestone and left-armer Josh Croom is nearing 50 wickets for the season.
Such has been the turnover of personnel at the BCG that only four of the Bashley (Rydal) side that lost its opening game of the season to the Academy are playing against Burridge at Botley Road.
Burridge expect Dan Stancliffe back after a spell in the USA.
Bashley (Rydal): Tripcony, Goodey, Francis, Saif, Digby, Anstee, Lewis, Trodd, Wilson, Penycate, Huns.
Gareth Berg is back in a strong looking Lymington side to host relegation favourites Hook & Newnham Basics at the Sports Ground.
Ben Thane returns from a two-week ban to open against Berg, but off-spinner Aniket Divecha remains sidelined with injury.
Lymington: Crabb, Rogers, Scott, K Dhariwal, G Berg, J Royan, J Dhariwal, C Moors. D Cox, A Wheble, G Layman.
Hook & Newnham Basics: Thane, Warner, Lockwood, Robson, Buckingham M, Buckingham J, Simpson, Neville, Murrell, Willcocks, Dovey.
