Sarisbury Athletic’s five teams will each observe a minute silence before tomorrow’s Southern Premier and Hampshire League games in respect of their club president Brian Knapp, who died yesterday.
Aged 84, Brian had been a lifelong member of Sarisbury, seeing the club progress from the lower regional divisions of the HCL to its establishment (from the historic Green) to nearby Allotment Road, where it achieved ECB Southern Premier status.
His involvement at Sarisbury spanned over 70 years, initially as a player, official, umpire (he was a founder member of the South Coast Panel) and later club president. A full tribute will appear shortly.
Beaten twice already Sarisbury Athletic host Calmore Sports at Allotment Road – with both sides in Venous Village Cup county semi-final action on Sunday, Sarisbury away at Bramshaw and Calmore home to Sparsholt.
Sarisbury Athletic: Rawlins, Smith, Lovett, J Hill, Bolton, Orr, Sanders, S Hill, Kitcher, Jewell, Allmark.
Calmore Sports: Johns, Taylor, Moss, Johnson, Manning, Bailey, Lavelle, Perry, West, Wright, Lepervanche.
Fresh from two wins, Rowledge are without Sam Plater against Andover at Church Road, where the visitors were engaged in an amazing run fest several seasons ago. Guy Lawston-Smith gets a Lions call.
Rowledge: B Wish, J Wish, Sebborn, Lloyd, Baker, O Ryman, Littlewood, E Martin, Yates, Le Reux, Whitney.
Portsmouth, at home to Totton & Eling, welcome president’s son Matt Shaw back from a spell at Waterlooville – and they’ll need his hefty run output to kick start a so far winless May.
Portsmouth: Duggan, Hammond, Hirani, Marston A, Marston J, McArdle, Shaw, Smitherman, Wallis D, Webb, Woolf.
New Milton are again unchanged, but like many grounds across the region, the Green Jackets is reportedly very soggy so it will be an early umpire’s call to see if their visit to St Cross Symondians II goes ahead.
New Milton: Watts, Edwards, Greig, L Beck, Hall, Golding, R Beck, Hussey, Loader, Mills, Bartlett.
Sparsholt, who have won their only game so far, host Basingstoke & North Hants at the Norman Edwards Ground.
Sparsholt: David Banks, Liam Doran, Callum Doran, Joshua Banks-Williams, Josh May, Dan Sumner, Lewis Mitchard, Stuart Taylor, Ash Collison, Tom Ley, Dan Weir.
In Division 2, Waterlooville are without Jack Pearce for the trip to Liphook & Ripsley, who remain without all-rounder Suman Ganguly, who is marooned in India and currently unable to fly home.
Waterlooville: Archie Reynolds*, Alex Shephard, Namish Verma, Sonny Reynolds, Jon Hudson, Dan Birch, Tim Jackson, Sam Robinson, Ashan Silva, Harry McBride+, Finn Rockett
South Wilts call up talented Millfield sportsman Ben Howgrave-Graham for the visit of Paultons to Bemerton.
South Wilts II: Cranch, Litchfield, Pearce, Edwards, Pittman, Falconer, Howgrave-Graham, Pittman, Partridge, Atkinson, Brewer.
Hook & Newnham Basics II are boosted by the return of Rich Wilcock and the arrival of new gloveman Tom May (no relation to club poster boy Ollie) for the trek to Southampton Waterside to face Hythe & Dibden at Jones Lane.
