AFTER the first week was rained off, champions St Blazey started the season properly with a 24-run victory at Bude last weekend and welcome Werrington Seconds to the Philip Varcoe Sports Ground.

An unbeaten half century from Olly Mitchell got Blazey up to 130-8 having been 113-5 before their heavily spin-pronged attack restricted the Seasiders to 206-8.

Blazey are without batsmen Josh Carne and Dan Kendall with Lewis Todd and Brandon Chapman drafted in, while Werrington make two alterations from the side that were beaten by seven wickets by Lanhydrock.

Opening batsman and wicketkeeper Ed Walters is replaced by Marley May, while batting all-rounder George Rickard returns from the first team with seamer Jordan Duke going the other way.

BOTH promoted sides – Menheniot-Looe and Tintagel – secured fine wins last weekend and again face tough opposition.

Menheniot chased down 215 at Callington Seconds thanks to skipper Steve Kidd’s 105, while Knights captain Matt Jolliffe made a fine 117 as Tintagel knocked off 281 to beat relegated St Austell Seconds by three wickets.

Menheniot have another tough task as they go to one of the promotion favourites in Lanhydrock and have a couple of changes.

Batsmen Luke Ripley and Peter Swinford replace Reuben Crawford and Ross Ripley, while bowler Brian Caddy and wicketkeeper Stuart Adams come in for Robert Cowley and Justin Kidd respectively.

Lanhydrock make just one change as the unavailable Josh Taylor makes way for Jacca Cavendish.

Matt Jolliffe will take the gloves as well as captain and open the batting as chairman Sam Abbott is missing, to be replaced by batsman Ben Jarram.

With Harry Daly on holiday, promising youngster Freddie Knowles gets a game.

In come Derek Piper, Jack Miles and Chris Carter.

St Austell failed to defend 280 at Tintagel, but will be tough to beat at Wheal Eliza.

Skipper Tom Rosevear has just one change as Qasim Jamal replaces fellow seamer Spencer Bist.

ST AUSTELL SECONDS: Archie Connolly, Steve Raven, David Munn, Jack Mallet, James Carter, Tom Mallet (wkt), Ryan Bennetts, Qasim Jamal, Henry Johnson, Tom Rosevear (capt), Hayden Coad.

HOLSWORTHY had a tough outing at Wadebridge Seconds and will hope to bounce back against visiting Callington Seconds at Stanhope Park.

All-rounder Aiden Gerry and the hard-hitting Sam Stacey are missing, as is Matt Shepherd who remains out with work.

Lewis Chidley replaces Dan Lucas off the back of nine wickets last weekend in two games, while Wayne Pomeroy and Guy Beagley comes into the 11.

With the first team at full-strength and injuries easing, Callington name a near first choice 11 although Nick Parker and Jim Shorten are both out.

James Brenton is back and takes Parker’s spot, while Zak Newton-Jenkins is back in the seconds after making his Premier League debut.

Seamers Ryan Hodge and Spencer Whatley are fit to bowl after recent injury problems, while Charlie Coates is rewarded for his scintillating 87 off 27 balls at Gorran for the thirds in Division Four East.

HOLSWORTHY: Jack Greening, Dan Smith, Brendan Harris, Rory Piper, Bilal Darber, Ryan Walter (capt, wkt), Wayne Pomeroy, Rob Mitchell, Lewis Chidley, Guy Beagley, Graham Wild.
