HAMPSHIRE selectors have made a number of changes for the visit to old rivals London in a fornight's time.

Colin Philpott returns to the B side, leaving Ricky Cull to travel as reserve. And Greg Cheesbrough moves up to the A team after a string of good performances, changing places with Darren Hogg.

Changes too in the ladies' line-up. Team captain Sue Lowther travels as reserve with Laura Power making a long-awaited return to the team. Wendy Reinstadtler steps up to the A team with Elaine Harty dropping down.

All the points taken at home to Cumbria recently were hard won, despite the fact that the opposition were bottom of the table and facing relegation.

London are down there with them and Hampshire can expect nothing less than a real battle at the Edge Club, Tottenham on February 12 and 13.
