AFTER last Saturday’s bizarre start to the season, hopes are high that things will return to normal for the second round of action in the Bond Timber Cornwall Cricket League today, although the forecast is not looking promising.

Callington and Werrington were due to play each other in Pool A of the T20 Premier Kernow Crash but had to settle for two points apiece after their double-header was called off, as were the other four matches.

Callington welcome Camborne to Moores Park later (midday and 3.10pm) and are once again able to name an extremely strong side.

From the 11 that were due to face Werrington, leg-spinner Harry Sawyers is available again and comes in for veteran fast bowler Jim Shorten who will turn out for the seconds, while wicket-keeper Fred Wilkinson comes in for Ben Allsop.

South African overseas star Liam Lindsay will hope for his debut, as will Somerset’s Dutch international all-rounder Roelof van der Merwe and Cornwall opening bowler Ben Ellis.

CALLINGTON v Camborne: Aidan Libby, Luke Brenton (capt), Liam Lindsay, Roelof van der Merwe, Ben Ellis, Ollie Allsop, Ryan Brown, Joe White, Blaze Eigenmann, Fred Wilkinson (wkt), Harry Sawyers.

Werrington head down to Redruth knowing how they play the Reds bowling attack is going to be key, but do so without several important players.

Opening bowler Sam Hockin and batsman Ben Jenkin are missing as are the likes of Darren Webber, Mark Taskis and John Moon.

It means call-ups from the second team for skipper Rob Dymond and teenagers Zander Zambuni and Dan Howgill.

WERRINGTON at Redruth: Ben Smeeth, Dan Barnard, Adam Hodgson, Mark Gribble, Sam Willis, Nick Lawson (capt, wkt), Hugh Tomkinson, Zander Zambuni, Dan Howgill, Rob Dymond, Jason Seldon.

Division Two East

With no Post area clubs in County Division One this year, there’s plenty of attention on the teams in Division Two East, with seven sides competing.

Werrington Seconds went down last year and after their cancellation at Callington Seconds, will hope to get their campaign off to a good start against visiting St Blazey.

Although they have several in the first team, they still have plenty of options.

Experienced trio Rob May, Mark Hodgson and Ian Searle all come in from the 11 named last week, while the likes of Adam Jenkin, Ian Worsnip, Jordan Duke and Tom Lyle all have first team experience.

Callington Seconds head to last year’s runners-up Wadebridge Seconds with both sides harbouring ambitions of going up.

Cally have veteran paceman Jim Shorten back as skipper Toby May has plenty of bowling options to choose from.

IT’S derby day at South Petherwin as they welcome Holsworthy to Kennards House.

Both sides enjoyed wonderful campaigns last time out and both will back themselves to be in the middle of the table at the very least, while the Trees have ambitions of a top four finish.

Holsworthy however travel without several key players. Overseas player Herschelle Poppengoel doesn’t arrive until Tuesday, skipper Ryan Walter is missing and opener Jack May is captaining the second team.

It means call-ups for the second team skipper Lyndon Piper to open the batting, while Matt Shepherd, who has rejoined from Callington and is vice-captain, will lead the side.

South Petherwin are much the same as last year although Cornwall Over 50s batsman Adrian Warne is injured and spinner Andrew Yelland has retired.

However former Launceston and Callington bowling all-rounder Sam Pengelly does play and forms an impressive middle-order either side of Andrew Brenton and Paul Clements.

SOUTH PETHERWIN: Michael Bolt, Tom Rickard, Andrew Brenton, Sam Pengelly, Paul Clements, Jacob Masters, Phil Pridham, Billy Martin, Adrian Clements, Michael Townsend (wkt), Kevin Horrell.

HOLSWORTHY: Lyndon Piper, Aiden Gerry, Matt Shepherd (capt, wkt), Jack Greening, Hayden Sharp, Brendan Harris, Charlie Bingham, Rob Mitchell, Nick Ward, Will Priest, Graham Wild.

ST MINVER beat Tintagel in the division’s only game last week and they welcome fellow Post area side Bude to Menefreda Way.

Minver make one change from the four-wicket success at Butts Field as new signing Elliot Dodd comes in for Karl Daly.

Wicket-keeper Tom Preston-Evans is missing once more.

Bude give debuts to Australian paceman Brett Hunter, bowler James Sharman and Harry Dymond, while Gordon Wint is back around and is set to play the full season.

Skipper Warren Rumble has the luxury of a batting line-up that goes to 11 and has plenty of options.

ST MINVER: Ben Hawken (wkt), Alek Gill, Ryan Pooley, Keron Persaud, Jonny Centini (capt), Antony Ash, Rob Hawken, Kieran Gill, Elliot Dodd, Ben Lamb, Dean Jeffery. BUDE: Warren Rumble (capt), Wayne Adams, Matt Whitefield, Gordon Wint, Andrew De Rosa, Tom Lush (wkt), James Sharman, Matt Mansbridge, Brett Hunter, Harry Dymond, AN OTHER.

LUCKETT secured promotion last summer after finishing third and St Austell Thirds not being able to go up, and the Saints’ second team provide the opposition at Chapel Field on Saturday.

Luckett give a second debut to Angus Harley who has rejoined from South Petherwin while bowler Darren Sambells, who also turns out for Whitchurch in the Devon League, also plays.

The rest of the side has a familiar look to it under new captain Mark Southcott who has taken over from Richard Seeley.

LUCKETT v St Austell Seconds: Martin Budge, Rob Piper, Andrew Hoskin, Mark Brown (wkt), Adam Piper, Jonny Hoskin, Mark Southcott, Steve Brown, Darren Sambells, Angus Harley, Ben Berry.

Division Three East

JUST one of the two Post area sides are in action in the fourth-tier as Launceston head to Boconnoc.

Launceston skipper Darren Jenkin is able to name a full strength side minus opening bowler Jacob Staig for the trip to Deer Park.

Staig is at university until May but is able to call upon Liam Tilley to boost both departments.

He has also given youth a chance in the bowling department with teenagers Ryan Hodge, Shane Davey and James Law all in the side.

LAUNCESTON at Boconnoc: Dan Tilley (wkt), Toby Theobald, Darren Jenkin (capt), Mark Thomas, Kevin Worth, Liam Tilley, David Cox, Matt Bloomfield, Ryan Hodge, Shane Davey, James Law.

Callington Thirds’ clash at Tideford has been rearranged for later in the season due to the recent weather and damage caused by vandals back in March.

Division Four East

Four games are set to go ahead in the division including promoted St Minver Seconds’ trip to their Launceston counterparts.

St Minver have to do without key player Luke Osborne but otherwise name a strong side including prolific openers Jake Keast and Matt Gilbert.

Skipper Charlie Edwards can also call upon his brother Archie and bowler Mark Turner due to the increased strength in-depth at the club.

Launceston also name a strong side and will hope for another top-half finish after coming fourth last summer.

WERRINGTON Thirds give debuts to youngsters Billy Uglow and Sam Smeeth for their home game against Menheniot-Looe Seconds.

Ian Wills takes over as captain for the season ahead following relegation, but will have to contend without several players in the opening weeks due to people missing further up the club.

However with the experience of himself, Dan Jenkin and Adam Paynter plus some exciting youth, they are sure to compete well.

Division Five East

TWO Post area sides square off at Butts Field as Tintagel Seconds welcome Werrington Fourths while there is also a derby at Holsworthy as their seconds welcome their South Petherwin counterparts.

Bude Seconds, relegated last term, welcome promoted Gunnislake to Crooklets in a game that both sides will fancy their chances in.

Division Six East

Just one game goes ahead this weekend in the bottom tier as reformed Luckett Seconds welcome their Saltash St Stephens counterparts to Chapel Field on Sunday.

The clash between Lanhydrock Thirds and Launceston Thirds has been rearranged.
