Three of the Hampshire Academy side to face table topping Ventnor at Newclose are set for a hectic weekend of cricket and travel.

Luke Webb, who lives in Gillingham in rural Dorset, will be leaving home at 6 o’clock tomorrow morning to make his way to Southampton to catch the Isle of Wight ferry.

Accompanying him will be fellow Dorset boys Lewis McManus and Michael Porter, who face a trip to Bridgnorth in Shropshire once they return to the mainland.

The pair are in Dorset’s Minor Counties Championship side for a three-day match in Bridgnorth.

Wilf Marriott makes his first appearance of the season for the Academy, while Ventnor are unchanged and at full strength.
