Team to watch: Ansty, relegated and were in the premier league only two seasons ago

Player to watch: our two, plus maybe any of the overseases Jermaine bullen from Stirlands is very good if he returns, plus Benn challen from Broadwater is a very good cricketer.

New structure: good for our level, should encourage good cricket and get everyone involved, have to find five bowlers instead of relying on two or three bowlers for most of the games which some clubs do and have done. Plus travel time is great.

Team: Worthing

Division: 3 West

Captain: Martyn Swift

Overseas: Lucky Gohler

Player to watch: Milan Hyde Ambitions for the season: Win games.
