Jeremy Frith in full cry [Bob Selly]
Sparsholt look set to be without influential all-rounder Jeremy Frith for the foreseeable future as their Guernsey-based former captain will be confined to Channel Islands cricket until such times as the Government relaxes its travel criteria.
Frith has been Southern Premier 1's lead batsman and bowler in recent seasons and, with Sparsholt-raised Michael Haworth deciding to try his hand in Premier Division cricket at nearby St Cross Symondians, David Banks is without two lead players for the 40-over curtain raiser against Andover at London Road.
Andover's talented batsman/keeper Alex Ayres has been lured away to play WEPL cricket in the Wiltshire outback, but otherwise the Lions are as you were with Matt Hooper in charge of a seasoned side.
Andover: A Hooper, Treagus, A Duckworth, Souter, Birks, M Hooper, Veetil, Taylor, A Duckworth. 
Calmore Sports begin with an awkward looking home game with St Cross Symondians II, who have won successive promotions under Dave Orchard.
Shawn Johnson, who joined the Loperwood Park set last season, will bat in the top order, while Ben Perry will look to extend his decent bowling performances from the pre-season.
Calmore Sports: Bailey, Johns, Johnson, Lavelle, Lepervanche, Manning, Moss, Perry, Taylor, West, Wright.
Key all-rounder David Lloyd apart, it’s a youthful Rowledge side that hosts Portsmouth at Church Road, with the bulk of the team still at college or university.
Portsmouth’s main strike bowler Joe Kooner-Evans is playing for Neath in the South Wales Premier League while he is at Swansea University, but will return at end term.
Rowledge: B Wish, J Wish, Lloyd, R Yates, Baker, E Martin, M Martin, O Ryman, Littlewood, Le Reux, Plater.
Portsmouth: Duggan, J Marston, Hammond, Christian, Hirani, Smitherman, T Wallis, McArdle, A Marston, Webb, Brook.
New Milton will unveil South African Harlan Greig, from lead Cape Town club Claremont against Sarisbury Athletic at Allotment Road, where all-rounder Ed Bartlett, from Wimborne, is also included.
New Milton: Watts, Edwards, Hall, L Beck, Greig, Hussey, Bartlett, Golding, Loader, R Beck, Mills.
The other SPL1 match features Totton & Eling against Basingstoke & North Hants at Southern Gardens.
