Sparsholt are desperate to kick-start their season with a Southern Premier League Division 2 win over relegated and potentially ring-rusty Rowledge at the Norman Edwards Ground.
“Losing by two runs to Trojans and then being knocked out of the Village Cup the very next day wasn’t the ideal start,” concedes skipper Jerry Frith, pictured. “We need to hit the ground running tomorrow.”
Bottom of Division 2 last season, Rowledge have yet to play a game due to waterlogged grounds and teenage Australian import Fraser Wilson hasn’t picked up a bat since he left Sydney last month.
Rowledge: B Wish, Morant, Randall, Baker, Swan, M Martin, S Martin, Moseley, Wilson, J Wish.
Trojans visit a jubilant Waterlooville, who celebrated a league win at Totton & Eling before knocking Ventnor out of the ECB national club championships.
Beaten at Basingstoke in their opening match, Langley Manor are boosted by the return of all-rounder pair Azeem Hamid and Nick Wheeler for the Totton & Eling derby at Knellers Lane.
Langley Manor: Budd, Brown, Browne, Harris, Wheeler, Hamid, Morgan, Knight , Spencer, Ponting, Mooney, Jerram.
Elsewhere, Paultons look to get their season underway against relegated Tichborne Park and Basingstoke & North Hants II go to St Cross Symondians II.
Fixtures: Langley Manor v Totton & Eling, Paultons v Tichborne Park, Sparsholt v Rowledge, St Cross Symondians II v Basingstoke & North Hants II, Waterlooville v Trojans.
