East Woodhay, who host Wherwell in the opening round of Vector Cup matches on Saturday.
Ten clubs in North Hampshire and just across the Berkshire county boundary have linked up to create the Vector Cup – the competition the brainchild of Oakley’s Alex Brundle and so named as a ‘tribute’ to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who description of a cricket ball in Parliament last month as a “natural vector of disease” almost turned any lingering hopes of a return of the game into despair.
With four of the clubs entering second teams, organisers have been able to a six-team first division, with eight in Division 2.
Saturday’s fixtures –
Division 1: Ashford Hill v Oakley, East Woodhay v Wherwell, Overton v Odiham & Greywell.
Division 2: Donnington v East Woodhay II, Oakley II v Kingsclere, St Mary’s v Whitchurch, Odiham & Greywell II v Overton II.
