Durham Senior League: With only two games starting last Saturday, teams will be hoping that the Bank Holiday double-header will allow them to get back on course.

Burnmoor, who lost ground at the top when South Shields played and won, entertain Boldon, the side Shields collected 20 points from.

Burnmoor are without Alex Ludlow and wicket-keeper Alec Linsley. In their places are the experienced duo Michael Callaghan and Mark Blunt.

Boldon also make two changes. They give a debut to Nick Jones, 14, the grandson of Boldon legend Ken Longstaff, who was part of their successful side in the 1960s. Jones replaces his uncle, Byron Longstaff, who is not available. Michael Barnes stands down and Simon Lee Johnson gets his chance to establish a place.

South Shields, attempting to maintain their unblemished points tally, entertain South Hetton, who have yet to win a game but have drawn on three occasions.

Shields will have skipper Michael Fishwick available as batsmen Michael Dunn and Jimmy Gaff are out of the side.

Shields bring in two of their most promising young players, Kris McShane and Chris Watson. McShane played in the opening three fixtures and has nine wickets so far and his slow bowling has shown immaculate length.

Whitburn, after their disappointing defeat last week, entertain Marsden.

Batsmen Neil Johnson and Michael Smith are out of the Whitburn XI and Peter Marshall and Eden Elstob are called in.

Marsden make one enforced alteration.

Harry Mann is not available and spinner Michael Fearon resumes, which means pace bowler David Wills remains an absentee.

Seaham Harbour entertain Durham City, who will be without captain Brian Stone. Nick Hillman will skipper the side today.

Seaham, after their thrilling one wicket win at Whitburn, have selected Ryan James and Matthew Young. They replace Simon Weston and Scott Sheriff.

Philadelphia bring back Jon Grant in place of William Bailey for their visit to Eppleton. News from Bunker Hill is that they have signed a South African fast bowler.

Darren Izzard, who hails from Durban, will not be able to play today but makes his debut on Monday against Seaham Harbour.

Bottom-placed Felling entertain Horden and introduce two youngsters.

Adam Gorge and Dominic Whale play instead of Chris Parker and Dale McKearnan.
