Fosters Durham Senior League: Burnmoor will be looking to register four straight wins this afternoon when they make the short journey to Philadelphia.

The game will herald a return to Bunker Hill for Brett Pelser, who played there last summer. The South African has produced runs and wickets in the games to date, with 7-38 against Seaham Harbour and then an unbeaten 58 last week. Burnmoor expect to have an unchanged eleven.

Philadelphia, smarting from a defeat at South Shields, make several changes. Stephen Robinson and brother Andrew are included along with William Bailey.

An injury to Phil. Empson means Neil Mulvaney will keep wicket.

Marsden notched up their first win last week, and go to Horden today.

Skipper Chris Mann expects to be fit and reckons the all-round effort against South Hetton a week ago should help today.

"The game looked to be slipping away from us but we stuck to our task, took a couple of quick wickets and never looked back," said Mann.

Wicket-taking hero David Wills, who took 5-47, misses the game at Horden.

The strike force will hinge greatly on Dimitry Nihalraj and youngster Nicky Quinn.

Joint leaders South Shields visit Boldon who have been unable to hit top form.

In the last two matches they have seen their opponents put up a rearguard action to good effect. Richard Potter is out with a knee injury and Stephen Lamb is included.

Shields, who are able to announce an unchanged team, have maximum points.

This means that captain Mike Fishwick remains an absentee but as yet has not been missed. Lindsay Cullen has been in great nick and the Australian is averaging 88.

Seaham Harbour have David Thompson back to bolster the batting at Whitburn.

Their opponents make one change with Paul Shields returning for Eden Elstob.

Durham City face a tough test against Eppleton. They are minus leading bowler Subhan Christudas as well as Dan Snowball.

Nick Hillman and Keiron Lingutla step up. Eppleton have Graham Anderson returning to lead the side

South Hetton's David Conway is missing today and Graham Fenwick gets a chance to claim a regular place.

They entertain lowly Felling, who have Peter Vinton replacing his brother Mark.
