PORTSMOUTH & SOUTHSEA LOOK TO PRESS AT EAST SUMMIT

Portsmouth & Southsea, joint East 2/3 leaders.
Portsmouth & Southsea look to take advantage of a potentially ring rusty Tichborne Park when they travel to the Alresford club’s country home aiming to strengthen their position in the Southern Premier League Cup East 2/3 leadership race.
They are neck and neck on 62 points each with Liphook & Ripsley, who receive Gosport Borough at Ripsley Park.
Tichborne haven’t played since August 8 and have only won one of their three completed matches, their opening game against Purbrook back on July 18.
After an unwanted break themselves, P & S have got back in the swing of things with back-to-back wins over Hambledon and Hartley Wintney.
Teenager Alex Davison, who made key runs in the win at Hambledon, is back in the P & S side.
Portsmouth & Southsea: Davies, Matt Benfield, Kanavan, Davidson, Tom Benfield, Lee, Saunders, Peach, Wiley, Turrell, Dunstan.
Both Liphook and P & S are keeping a watchful eye on Waterlooville, who are posing a very real and late threat after four straight wins.  Significantly, their last East group match is at P & S next Saturday.
Hosts Hartley Wintney field a weakened side against them, with skipper Will Kerr back at Birmingham University and teenager leg spinner Angus Brown (who took six P & S wickets last week) on a West Country tour with two of his team-mates.
Ville travel to the north of the county without the inspirational Matt Shaw, but are otherwise at full strength.  Dave Connolly returns.
Waterlooville: Archie Reynolds, Jon Hudson, Alex Shephard, Dave Connolly, Namish Verma, Max Goddard, Ashan Silva, Harry Mcbride, Haydn Knight, Matt Cook, Sam Hillman.
In West 2/3, only four points separate leaders Bashley (Rydal) from Fair Oak, who have a second consecutive weekend off (caused by the late withdrawal of Basingstoke & North Hants).
Bashley field five teenagers in what promises to be a testing affair against South Wilts II at the BCG.
Bashley (Rydal): Will Tripcony, Louis Prichard, Patrick Lewis, James Underwood, Saif Achakzai, Josh Parsons, Sam Scott, Simon Ridley, Neil Taylor, Tom Harris, Ethan Baker.
Hythe & Dibden are without all-rounder Andy Wakely against Paultons.
Hythe & Dibden: T Richards, T Gates, M Young, Z Millar, S Redford, A Nicholas, F Roberts, D Taylor, B Holbrook, M Bowman, I White.
