Waterlooville defend the only unblemished Southern Premier Division 2 record when Andover visit Rowlands Avenue.
Successive wins over St Cross Symondians II, Fawley and Hook & Newnham Basics II have provided the Ville with a 12-point lead over Fair Oat at the top, whereas Andover – with two wins from three outings – lie fourth. Waterlooville are without Josh McCoy (pictured), but Sam Robinson returns.
Waterlooville: Birch D, Broadhurst G, Hillman S, Hudson J, Jackson C, Jackson T, McGregor J, Parker C, Reynolds A, Robinson S , Shephard.
Fair Oak receive Hook & Newnham Basics, who have lost all three games since their promotion as SPL3 runners up in 2021.
With Lewis Watts and Charlie Neville unavailable it’s deserved Hook call ups for Billy Wyatt and Ollie James both off tons and wickets for the 3’s in the last couple of weeks.
Hook & Newnham Basics II: Bruin, Willcock, Light, Franklin, James, Doran, May T, Moore, Wyatt, May O, Balcombe
Hambledon name the same team against Fawley in SPL2 as they do against Sarisbury Athletic in the T20 at Allotment Road on Sunday, 3pm.
Hambledon: George Marshall, Dan McGovern, Henry Glanfield, Matt De Villiers, Chris Pratt, Spencer Leclercq, Mark Butcher, Jonty, Oliver, Ben Reilly, James Restall, George Harding
The other SPL2 games feature Bashley (Rydal) II hosting Hartley Wintney (who will need a breakfast-time departure to get to the New Forest in time) and OTs & Romsey against St Cross Symondians II.
Two points separate the lead pair in Division 3, Paultons and Portsmouth & Southsea, who have each won their opening three matches.
Paultons (64 points) host Gosport Borough in round 4, while Portsmouth & Southsea (62) face a potentially grueling trip through the inbound Salisbury city traffic before facing South Wilts II, who have won their last two games.
Skipper Simon Ennew misses Paultons’ match, but in-form Scott Hills comes in after a bright start in second team cricket.
Paultons: Pike, P Longland, Barton, Hills, Collins, Rogers, Dawes, L Longland, Dunn, Chandhoke, Denney.
Langley Manor (53) travel to Havant II, while fourth placed Sway (50 points) are without influential all-rounder Huw Bernard when they host Trojans at the Jubilee Field.
Sway: Noble, Prince, Crossley, Hall, Marshall, Steadman, Jones, Grasham, Ramwell, How, Waller.
Either Basingstoke & North Hants II or Purbrook will pick up their first win points as the winless pair go head-to-head at May’s Bounty.
