Liphook & Ripsley : 2018 National Village Cup, Lord's finalists
Beaten Lord’s finalists last season, Liphook & Ripsley will begin their quest for further National Village Cup glory in the heart of the Test Valley in late April.
They have been drawn away to Overton, who celebrated promotion to Hampshire League County Division 3 North last summer.

Sparsholt get home advantage in the all Winchester & District derby with Easton & Martyr Worthy, while near rivals Tichborne Park entertain Bramshaw.
Across the Wiltshire county border and high up on Salisbury Plain, Shrewton will renew their long standing rivalry with Parley, runners-up in Hampshire League, County Division 1 last season.
The first round draw includes: Amport v Oakley, Shrewton v Parley, Sarisbury Athletic v Hambledon, Tichborne Park v Bramshaw, Longparish v Paultons, Overton v Liphook & Ripsley, Hursley Park v Godshill, Sparsholt v Easton & Martyr Worthy. Bye: Sway.
Rowledge have received a first round bye before travelling to nearby Frensham in round two (May 12), while Redlynch & Hale go deep into Wiltshire to play Lacock.
Hampshire League pair Bedhampton and Emsworth will have to wait until the late May bank holiday weekend before hitting the Lord’s trail.
Both clubs have testing draws in the West Sussex group, Bedhampton at Crawley-based Ifield and Emsworth at home to Findon.
