Form side Old Tauntonians & Romsey have swept into the thick of the Southern Electric Premier Division 2 promotion race on the back of six straight wins.
The arrival of Hampshire all-rounder Chris Wood into the ranks has been the catalyst behind OTs success.
Wood and his OTs team-mates will need to reverse an opening day defeat by Fawley if they are to make it seven wins in a row and step up the pressure on table toppers Portsmouth.
The leaders go to Paultons, whose season is at a potential crossroads and with Eric Linge sidelined for the remainder of the summer.
Paultons were in the mix until they lost three successive games and one more defeat for the Ower side - who host Havant in the Southern Electric t20 Cup on Sunday, 3pm - will be curtains.
Freshly promoted Bashley (Rydal) II chase a fifth successive win at Hursley Park, while George Marshall - who won a prestigious batting award with United Services in 2011 - dusts off his pads and makes a comeback for Hambledon against Tichborne Park (see separate story).
