Premier 2: Zimbabwean Eagle swoops in on Totton & Eling

Centurion James Taylor misses Totton & Eling’s Southern Premier League Division 2 derby against Paultons at Whitemoor Lane.
But the Eels have signed a 26-year old batsman from Zimbabwe, Gary Chirimuuta, lft, who plays for the Mashonaland Eagles franchise at home.
A former Zimbabwe ICC Under-19 World Cup player, Chirimuuta experienced a disappointing past winter for the Eagles, but last summer he plundered close on 1,000 runs for Brooke in the Norfolk Alliance, including three centuries and seven fifty-plus scores.
The financial situation at Zimbabwe Cricket has forced over 20 local players, Chirimuuta among them, to commit to playing club cricket in the UK at the expense of the ongoing First Class domestic leagues, the Logan Cup and Pro50 Championship.
Taylor hit an unbeaten hundred against St Cross Symondians last week, but was unable to prevent the Winchester side winning. Teenage son Ethan also misses the Paultons match.
Langley Manor and Sparsholt, who both notched their first SPL2 wins last weekend, meet at Knellers Lane, where rumours of a major signing are rife. Sparsholt got off the mark last week with a win over Waterlooville.
Rowledge, who ‘top’ the embryo table with a 22-points average after thumping Tichborne Park last week, face a sterner test at Waterlooville.   The visitors give a debut to 15-year old seamer Will Ryman and have Richard Forbes making his first appearance in over 18 months.
Rowledge: B Wish, J Wish, Morant, Lloyd, S Martin, Wilson, Baker, Swan, Moseley, Ryman, Forbes
Basingstoke & North Hants travel to Tichborne Park, while unbeaten St Cross Symondians II receive Trojans.
