Match Preview

Newly promoted Southwell CC 1st XI start the 2017 season against last year's Division C runners up, Wollaton CC 2nd XI. Both contests last year were tightly fought with Southwell winning one and gaining a losing draw in the away fixture despite holding a winning position.

Debutant Sid Morris steps into a strong looking Southwell line-up with John Richardson rejoining after his time away soul searching. Southwell will hope to get off to a winning start and set out their stall for the new season ahead.

Welcome back to Andy Ashworth too, who returns to the scorebox with son Will.
