Jeremy Frith is focussing on a remarkable club and individual performance record as he leads Sparsholt to the Southern Premier League Division 2 title.
The Guernsey-based all-rounder is topping the divisional batting and bowling charts, having already exceeded last season’s 553-run tally.
His 667-run glut this summer includes centuries against St Cross Symondians II (144) and Trojans (127), plus three other 80-plus scores.
Frith is also Sparsholt’s leading wicket taker with 25 scalps, one more than Symondians’ Matt Perry-Lewis, who he plays against at the Green Jackets Ground tomorrow, 12.30.
Sparsholt take a significant 32-point lead over Rowledge (at Basingstoke & North Hants II) into the Winchester derby.
Sparsholt: Frith, Howarth, Mitchard, Doran, Banks, Taylor, O’Brien, Doubell, Phagami, Weir, Trivett.
Second placed Rowledge, 19 points up on St Cross Symondians and 26 on Waterlooville, face a tricky test at May’s Bounty, where Chris Chandler’s side have the potential to post big scores, as Tichborne Park discovered last week.
Chris Yates is back for Rowledge, while teenager Toby Albert looks to build on last week’s maiden hundred.
Rowledge: Jake Wish, Chris Yates Jnr, Sam Plater, Sam Moseley, David Lloyd, Max Martin, Joel Swan, Fraser Wilson, George Keeley, Ollie Baker, Steve Martin.
It will need a significant turnaround for the Ville to get back into the promotion frame, but if Sammy Hillman (pictured) can come up with a big one at Langley Manor, then who know … ?
Waterlooville: Scutt, Smith, Reynolds, Shephard, Hudson, Greene, Goddard, Hillman, McBride, Silva, Pearce.
The bottom of the table clash between Tichborne Park and Totton & Eling will provide a significant pointer in the SPL2 relegation stakes.
Tichborne go into the match six points better off than the Eels, but the pair have also got to play basement side Trojans during the run-in. Trojans are at revitalised Paultons, who have won their last two games.
