Division 2 West: Teenage wicket-keeper Thad Cooper will make his debut for Aston Rowant in their Oxfordshire derby at home to Thame Town tomorrow.

The 17-year-old Radley College student replaces Lee Lewis and is the only change from Saturday's victory at Teddington.

Rowant captain Chris Eaton said: "Thad is not around a great deal, so whenever he's available he gets a game as we are short of wicket-keepers.

"He has played a few Sunday games for us and has got some runs."

Of Thame he said: "We know there's a few key wickets we need to get early on and if we can do that we can put some pressure on them."

Thame are unchanged from last week's washout against Bicester & North Oxford, and skipper Rob Brooks expects his side will be fairly consistent from now on.

He said: "We've good availability for the rest of the season, so hopefully we'll be pretty much unchanged.

"After last week I can't exactly drop anyone."

He added: "We've not performed well against Rowant in the last two or three years, so we are looking forward to putting that right.

"We just need to put a whole team performance together. I enjoy playing Rowant because there are a lot of lads that I used to teach in their side."

Bicester & North Oxford skipper Ian Bryan says his side can more than hold their own this season.

"We said at the start of the season that our main aim would be to try to stay in the league," he said.

"But from what I have seen, there is no reason why we can't finish in the top half.

"I know we're not going to win it, but I think we can finish in a comfortable position. This season's all about consolidation."

Paul Jeacock (wedding) and Richard Lynch (work) will be missing when they host Gerrards Cross tomorrow, but batsman Ben Chapman makes his first appearance of the season and bowler Trevor Price comes in from the seconds.
