All eyes will be on the weather forecast ahead of the fifth round of Southern Premier League Cup matches, none more so than in Andover, Bashley, Calmore and Salisbury, venues of important West Premier/1 matches. Rain is threatened.
Andover, who have slipped to the bottom of the table after losing their last two matches, host improving Bournemouth at London Road, while the BCG hosts the ‘Kings of the Forest’ duel with nearby Lymington.
There’s a tasty derby at Loperwood Park, where Calmore Sports play Totton & Eling, while Bemerton is the venue for the key game of the lot, South Wilts v St Cross Symondians, all starting at 12.30.
Andover are without spin all-rounder Charlie Ayers against Bournemouth, who lie second behind Bashley (Rydal) after beating Calmore and then snatching a dramatic win over South Wilts, with Robbie Pack hitting the last ball of the match for six. Matt Hooper is a key Lions absentee.
Andover: A Hooper, Treagus, Ayers, Carr, Knight, Birks, Ayling, Hooper, Taylor, Veettil, Adams
Bournemouth: Nick Park, Sam Collins, Adam Davies, Luke Matthews, Chris Park, Alex Nippard, Tom Robinson, Rob pack, Adam Fowler-Watt, Matt Mixer, Dan Conway.
Calmore Sports call up two golden oldies – James Hibberd and Tommy Pegler – for the Totton derby.
Pegler will don the gloves, with Hibberd able to beef up the seam bowling unit.
Ethan Taylor, who hit fifties in the last two matches, is off playing soccer for AFC Totton, but Brighton Mugochi is due back alongside teenager seamer Sam Beer.
Calmore Sports: Lavelle, Johns, Moss, Bailey, Pegler, Manning, Fisher, Perry, Taylor, Hibberd, Lepervanche.
Totton & Eling: H Clarke, O Thomas, O Morris, J Taylor, B Lightfoot, B Mugochi, H Peruzi, L Taylor, M Graves, J Owens, S Beer.
Table topping Bashley (Rydal) have lost Scott Currie to injury hit Hampshire (who play Surrey in the Bob Willis Trophy at Arundel), so teenage pace bowler Sam Crisp gets a chance to show his potential against youthful Lymington..
Currie’s absence comes as a great relief to returning South African youngster Gareth Schreuder, who is determined to make his mark against Bashley’s potent attack.
Bashley (Rydal): Turner, Jacques, Walker, Porter, Fisher, Holly, Digby, Wilson, Clutterbuck, B Currie, Crisp.
Lymington: Royan, Schreuder, D Bailey, J Bailey, Robertson, Cox, Scott, Smith, Sykes, Tollerfield, Rogers.
Arthur Godsal and Peter Rowe return for South Wilts in the ‘must win’ affair with St Cross Symondians – the outcome crucial to the outside qualification prospects of both clubs, who each lost last weekend.
South Wilts: Mynott, Stearman, Rowe, Hayward, Draper, Hussey, Godsal, Grant, Warner, Wade, Burton.
