Lymington welcome back their talismanic left-arm all-rounder Darren Cowley for the visit of ECB Southern Electric Premier League new boys Sarisbury Athletic to the Sports Ground.
Cowley produced a one-man show, hitting a century and taking five wickets in the opening day defeat of St Cross Symondians.
But his absence was sorely missed when Lymington found themselves on the receiving end of an equally emphatic defeat by champions South Wilts last weekend.
Lewis McManus will return after making a pleasing LV=County Championship debut in Hampshire’s beating by Yorkshire at Headingley. The 20-year old wicketkeeper will be looking to spend some meaningful time at the crease for his new club having produced a battling 28 in the second innings in Leeds.
Sarisbury, who tied their first match with Alton and beat the Hampshire Academy last week, have also received a double bonus. Jonathon Norris and Joe Lovett, who missed the Academy victory, return to the side. But Matt Journeaux is unavailable.
Lymington: Ben Rogers, Dom Hand, Lewis McManus, Ryan Scott, Cam Grierson, Darren Cowley, Simon Beetham, Ed Ellis, Matt Metcalfe, Ben Ashkenazi, Ed Freeman.
Sarisbury Athletic: Banks, Rawlins, Covey, Jack Lovett, Burl, Norris, Geyle, Clouting, Joe Lovett, Goldstraw, Jewell.
