Sommers Home Counties Premier League

Aston Rowant have made a tactical switch by bringing in David Ridgley for their home clash with Kidlington in Division 2 West.

Batsman Ridgley replaces seamer Chris Davis as captain Paul Humphreys looks for a more solid display.

Humphreys said: "Chris Davis has not been getting a lot of overs because Ryan Dutton and Simon Bird have been bowling so well.

"This season the problem has been posting a decent total.

"David Ridgley has performed really well in the seconds. He has scored three 50s already.

"He snapped his cruciate ligament playing football and this is his first proper season back.

"He is a real scrapper and deserves his place in the side."

Rowant's other change sees Tom Needham replacing the absent Dutton.

Humphreys added: "Kidlington are a really good side, but we have got to start winning somewhere.

"We are not overawed by anybody in the league. We know on our day we can beat anyone including Kidlington."

Kidlington captain Dave Taylor, who names an unchanged side, said: "We are looking to do a job on them. We need to keep working hard.

"The good thing is that our young players like Chris Bowler are coming to the fore.

"We've just got to watch Wokingham. They are the surprise package, but I'm quite confident that they will fall away. Teams will get used to them."

Sammy Lachlan returns in place of Ben Hewitt for Thame Town's trip to Burnham.

Skipper Adam Krol said: "Burnham have not done all that well this year, but you just don't know with them.

"They play a lot of shots and can take the game away from you. We have got to put together a team performance with the bat."
