Unbeaten OT & Romsey parade full strength squad

Old Tauntonians & Romsey parade a full strength side as they bid for a fourth successive Southern Electric Premier League, Division 2 win at newly promoted Purbrook tomorrow.

Stuart Tulk's side have come out of the traps at speed, chalking up three wins in a row against Sparsholt, Easton & Martyr Worthy and Hursley Park.

"The two new boys - Raj Niak and Jodey Brown, from the West Country - have made us a much better all-round side," says skipper Tulk.

Formerly of Winchester KS, the Indian all-rounder Niak is a quality batsman/spinner, while Brown has added strength to OTs top order.

Premier Division 3 champions Purbrook have made a poor start, losing both their opening games.

Lymington, comfortable winners over Burridge and St Cross Symondians in their opening matches, expect to get a third successive win against struggling Gosport Borough at the Sports Ground.

Christian Pain's replacement of Mike West is the only change Lymington make.

Martin Hunt, who cracked a league best 83 at St Cross, will continue to open the batting alongside Glyn Treagus.

Burridge visit United Services, while the four Winchester area sides come face to face in derby matches.

Easton & Martyr Worthy, who bounced back to winning ways with a crushing win at Gosport last week, expect to be at full strength against neighbours Sparsholt at Cockets Mead.

Sparsholt suffered a heavy National Village Championship defeat at Easton last weekend, but are strengthened by the return of former Wiltshire wicketkeeper Kevin Foyle and Australian left-armer Jez Lawson.

Heavy scoring Steve Shaw, who missed the Lymington defeat with tonsillitis, returns for St Cross Symondians at Hursley Park, who also surrendered their unbeaten record last week.

Fergus Haycock could be a St Cross doubt with a strained hamstring.
