Arch rivals Easton & Martyr Worthy and St Cross Symondians go head to head in an all-Winchester Southern Electric Premier League, Division 2 derby at Cockets Mead tomorrow, 1pm.

Influential former skipper Steve Green is free of suspension and is set to play his first Easton match of the season.

Newly-promoted St Cross, who expect to be unchanged, currently head Division 2 after successive wins over Gosport Borough and Sparsholt.

Lymington skipper Dan Peacock includes his younger brother Tom in the side to face Old Tauntonians & Romsey at the Sports Ground.

Like his elder brother, Tom hails from Zimbabwe and is a wicketkeeper-batsman.

Both sides are hit by cup final absentees, with long term Saints fanatic Trevor Phillips, Neil Trestrail and teenager Matt Malloy among the Lymington contingent travelling to Cardiff.

Matt Allen and John McGuirk are also drafted into the town team.

Left-arm spinner Nick Wood is a key absentee for OTR.

Hursley Park aim for a third straight win at the expense of Burridge at The Quarters, while Sparsholt are anxious to get off the mark against Gosport Borough, who have also lost their opening two games.

Jimmy Taylor returns to captain his Winchester KS side against Hook & Newnham Basics at River Park.

New Milton, whose Division Three challenge got off to a disappointing start with a rain affected defeat against Ventnor, face a tough trip to Havant II.

Skipper Steve Watts, who hit a half-century against the Islanders, is off to Cardiff for the Cup final and hands over the captaincy to Ryan Beck.

"Havant are arguably the best of the 2nd XIs in Premier 3 and finished above us last season, so the lads know they'll have a game on their hands," Watts said.

Bashley (Rydal) II, whose home match with Alton was washed out after only 13 balls last week, will expect to win at Hambledon, the side strongly tipped to finish bottom of the table.

Skipper Graham Pardey, minus the influential Dale Middleton, plans to warn his side against overconfidence.
