B Division Briefing – week 16: Holroyd (pictured) back from travels and in Ipplepen top order | Clyst have both Creers and both Singhs on duty
B DIVISION BRIEFING – WEEK 16
Ipplepen (9th) v Clyst St George (4th)
Clyst St George (Dan Kendall): Five changes from last week. I'm out, so Wiehann Meyer will skipper. Bertie Creer and Inder Singh amongst the returnees. Should be a tough game, it's a real scrap at the bottom. We also wish our 2nd XI well on Sunday for their Twenty20 finals day – hopefully they fare better than we did in the Corinthian Cup.
Ipplepen (Matt Beasant): A few changes, Warrick Green really unfortunate to miss out, but looking forward to seeing how he does batting up the order in the 2nd XI. Ross Kennard is at a wedding and I'm sitting out with a bad back. Ash Harvey and Joe Parker are available, and Toby Holroyd is back from his travels. We've had a good couple of weeks, but our situation hasn't changed, we need to keep focussing on what we can control and take it game-by-game.
Ivybridge (3rd) v Braunton (6th)
Ivybridge (Josh Zimmerman): Tinashe Muchawaya has returned to Zimbabwe so will miss the last three games. Sam Northmore drops down. Myself and Jake Dunn back into the team. A must win game for us!.
Braunton (Sam Reddick): One change for us as Jon Baglow is away this week, in comes Jason Raynor to add another seam option. The situation has been clear each week, and nothing changes here. Every point counts in this league, and we will look to make it three in a row.
Bideford (5th) v Bovey Tracey II (8th)
Bideford (Jack Ford): We had a great game against Bovey at their place earlier on in the season, so expecting another competitive game this time around. We're both in a similar situation to each other in the division, so the game has a lot riding on it. Which will be the same for every remaining game this season with how close the division is shaping up."
Bovey Tracey (Dan Green): Ed Foreman not around for two weeks, Callum Stanley not here for this week. Jamie Bishop is back and so are Chris Yabsley and Geth Williams. Looking forward to our day out to Westward Ho! We know what we need to do.
Stoke Gabriel (7th) v Budleigh Salterton (top)
Stoke Gabriel (Jack Tolley): Three huge games for us now! Jack Smith and Aaron Stevenson drop down to the 2nd XI. Replaced by Kyle Lardner and Mike Smith.
Budleigh Salterton (Ed Doble): Looking forward to playing Stoke Gabriel again after the Corinthian Cup final defeat, which was a great game. Only change is Harvey Shipton in for Sam Whitehead.
Plymstock (2nd) v Abbotskerswell (10th)
Plymstock (Tom Mitch): Alex Thomas comes in for Fraser Cowan. Target is still in our hands and we want to keep it that way, the lads know what's needed and we're all up for it
Abbotskerswell: Nothing to report.
