For the second consecutive season, the ECB Southern Premier League championship race has gone to the wire with the winners of Saturday's match between the Hampshire Academy and South Wilts set to take the crown.

Last year Burridge won it with an emphatic victory over St Cross Symondians and went on to complete the double.

South Wilts take a slender nine-point lead into the 'cup final' which is being played on the Utilita Bowl Nursery ground, with a mid-day start.

But that lead will be immaterial with the outcome of the 50-over 'white ball' duel being crowned champions.

South Wilts have remained in the title chase all season despite losing a host of first team squad players in the build up to the season.

Skipper Ben Draper says: "I'm really looking forward to Saturday. It's a rare opportunity to play a game last of the season where the winner takes all in that game, Hopefully, it will be a great day with two quality teams out on display.

"I think the squad with the quality of players, talent and the environment we've created has been great this year. A young and new team has gelled together brilliantly from the very first game of the season and it's been a pleasure for me to captain the lads.

"I'm really looking forward to Saturday getting out there and hopefully winning!"

South Wilts and the Academy have enjoyed some epic duels in recent seasons. England U19 pair Dom Kelly and Eddie Jack are named in a full strength county squad.
