MINOR Counties pair Kevin Nash and Glyn Treagus are set to miss Bashley-Rydal's tricky Southern Electric Cup second round visit to Tichborne Park this evening, 6.15pm, writes Mike Vimpany.

Wiltshire seamer Nash damaged a hamstring in Saturday's seven-wicket Premier League defeat at Bournemouth and could be out for several weeks, while Dorset all-rounder Treagus has work commitments.

But Bashley, whose solitary Electric Cup success came in 2000, will start firm favourites against an out-of-sorts Tichborne side skittled for a league-low 33 by Bournemouth 2nd XI at the weekend.

Calmore Sports, who put out Lymington in the first round, chase a potential giant killing against beaten 2003 finalists Bournemouth at Loperwood Park.

BAT Sports begin their trophy defence with a comfortable looking home meeting with New Milton at Southern Gardens, but leading wicket-taker Dan Goldstraw is a probably non-starter.

An Achilles injury again sidelines Andover captain Roger Miller, whose younger brother Mark will assume the captaincy for the demanding visit to South Wilts at Lower Bemerton.

With Western Australia left-hander Chris Rogers in form after a fierce 98 not out against the Hampshire Academy on Saturday, it promises to be a tough night for the Andover bowlers.

Burridge face a similarly demanding test away to last season's beaten finalists Portsmouth, while Alton entertain Liphook & Ripsley at the JCG.

Big hitting Will Prozesky faces his old teammates when Havant visit Purbrook.

Hursley Park's second round tie against Trojans is at The Quarters next Tuesday, June 14.
