Classic Press Cherwell League preview

Banbury Twenty are hoping the return of seam bowler Mike Wedderburn and batsman Tim Pearce will help boost their Division 1 title challenge as they entertain Cumnor.

Despite the pair being unavailable against Thame last week, it didn't stop second-placed Twenty picking up maximum points to cut the gap at the top to just eight points.

Cumnor, meanwhile, are strengthened by the return of keeper Chris Carpenter and bowler Gareth Brown.

Leaders Shipton-under-Wychwood expect to be unchanged for the visit of Sandford St Martin although all-rounder Shaun Miller could be called away at short notice as he is still awaiting the birth of a child.

Sandford skipper Steve Wood misses the match along with Rob Taylor. Paul Tew takes over the captaincy, while Phil Patterson makes a welcome return from injury.

Batsman Chris Clark comes back into the Thame side who host Challow & Childrey at Church Meadow.

Oxford Nondescripts welcome back batsman Mike Cox for their relegation battle away to fellow strugglers Buckingham.

Ed Jones returns to strengthen Buckingham's batting.

Rover Cowley, who are also in danger off the drop, visit bottom club Leighton Buzzard in the day's other game.
