5/5/2017

0 Comments

 
Southern Premier Division 2 cricket is set for a series of tasty local derbies with four clubs scattered within a few miles of each other and a fifth, Trojans, on the opposite side of the city.
Newly promoted Langley Manor, OTs & Romsey, Paultons and Totton & Eling will vie for local bragging rights – and that will start on Saturday.
Langley Manor play their first match back in Premier 2 – they celebrated an SPL3 and T20 Plate double last summer – against Totton & Eling.
Nearby, OTs & Romsey and Trojans – whose rivalry goes back decades – meet head-on at the Romsey Sports Centre.
Skippered by Jack Budd, Langley hope to have their as yet unnamed overseas recruit on duty for the visit of Totton, their hosts being fresh from a phenomenal warm-up win over Tichborne Park last week.
Oli Perrin smashed an amazing 192 not out as Totton chased down 327 to win.
Totton & Eling:  Mbofana, J Taylor, Geyle, Perrin, Bracey, Sharma, Thomason,  Bungay, Darney, E Taylor, Collier.
Rob Newman leads OTs & Romsey into action against Trojans, while Paultons will face a freshly promoted St Cross Symondians II side considerably boosted by the presence of former Hampshire batsman Jason Laney.
St Cross Symondians II: P Hawkins, B Aldridge, J Laney, S Berryman, D Young, D Orchard, H Foyle, M Haworth, A Ayers, T Veillard, S Mitchell, P Rathod.
Jeremy Frith takes charge ay Sparsholt, who begin with a testing visit from Hartley Wintney, bolstered by New Zealander Henry Collier, who played Middlesex Premier League cricket for Hampstead in 2016.
Sparsholt: Frith, Haworth, Norris, Banks, Dunford, Kennett, Foster, Skeoch, Mitchell, Doubell, Weir.
In-form Tom Cowley opens the batting for South Wilts II at Hambledon.
South Wilts II: R Pittman, Cowley, Pearce, Phillips, Baum, Kidd, Lloyd, Matt Burton, Marc Burton, Cox, Wade.
In Premier 3, Fair Oak visit injury-hit Bashley (Rydal) II having had their confidence boosted by a successful 250-run plus run chase at Sarisbury Athletic last weekend.
Fair Oak: Hockenhull, Hughes, Kemp, Oxley, Sturman, Abbas, G Stewart, R Featherstone, R Stewart, Eley, Mash.
Hursley Park, who escaped relegation by the skin of their teeth last season, host Basingstoke & North Hants II, while relegated Fawley begin against 2016 Hampshire League champions Purbrook at Holbury.
