Portsmouth & Southsea and Bashley (Rydal) II will both be at full strength for tomorrow’s Southern Premier League Cup East/West 2/3 Grand Final at St James’s Park, off Locksway Road, Portsmouth.
Seamer Chris Turrell [pictured by The News] is likely to be playing his farewell game for P & S prior to a work related move out of Portsea and will hope big guns Matt Benfield and Jack Davies fire at the top of the order for the unbeaten East winners.
Bashley have tweaked their side in recent weeks to give more youngsters experience, but field a pukka second team at the SJP.
They have real experience in all-rounders Simon Ridley, Neil Taylor and Simon Watkins, alongside six teenagers, two of whom are only in their GCSE years at Dorset schools.
Portsmouth & Southsea: Davies, M Benfield, Kanavan, Davidson, T Benfield, Lee, Saunders, Peach, Wiley, Turrell, Dunstan.
Bashley (Rydal): James Turner, Will Tripcony, Patrick Lewis, Jacob Gordon, Simon Watkins, Saif Achakzai, George Wilson, Josh Parsons, Simon Ridley, Neil Taylor, Ethan Baker.
