Among thesc three teams, "Scorpions" have probably the toughest assignment when they travel down to the Valley to take on Craigengower Cricket Club,

The Wanderere forwards will have a battle on their hands, but at worst they should share the ball.

The Wanderers will chalk up another victory, though as usual Club "D" will be all out to prove again that they can surprise their opponents.
