Weekend club cricket action

The Premier League clubs will again be without their provincial players this weekend when the SWD takes on Northern Cape at the REC Ground in Oudtshoorn.

Their unavailability for club cricket always levels the playing field and exciting matches are scheduled for the weekend. Ramblers, who is having a fine season, will take on George at Rooirivierrif in what should be a very interesting match.

Harlequins Forces, who is also amongst the top performers, will host Pacaltsdorp who will be desperate for a victory. Mossel Bay, who is struggling to find their form, will travel to Plettenberg Bay for a make-orbreak clash against Pioneers. NMU George will have home ground advantage against Western Hope while Union Stars will be the favourites when they take on Knysna Cavaliers at Bridgton.

Both Knysna Cavaliers and George will be in action again on Sunday when they lock horns in Knysna.
