Falkland face new basement boys
Farnham Royal scored a surprisingly comfortable win at Enborne Lodge to leave Falkland 20 points behind early season pace-setters Dinton and Cove in Division Two West.
That was Royal’s first win of the season, and now the Buckinghamshire side will be hoping that lightning will strike twice as they prop up the rest.
Falkland will be without Kalief Zafar for an indeterminate period for family reasons, but skipper Neil Gunter hopes to have Hampshire’s Hamza Riazuddin back on parade with his team needing to win to stop the leaders getting away from them.
Gunter is also considering a recall for Joel Martin, who has impressed for the second XI in recent games.
Thatcham take their unbeaten record into action ast Brownsfield on Saturday when they entertain Kidmore End in Divisoin Two B of the Thames Valley League.
Skipper Dan Stone makes two changes ot the side that won on the last ball at Bagshot last week, bringing in Felix Hartley-Russell and Nick Monger for Andy Rishton and Chris Rochfort.
Newbury are still looking to get off the mark following their rise to Division Two B and
take on third to bottom Sonning at Northcroft with 28 point separating the two clubs .
