Local rivals Shipton-under-Wychwood and Great & Little Tew will clash in the second round of games in next season’s Serious Cricket Home Counties Premier League.

Shipton, last season’s Cherwell League runners-up, were promoted in the reorganisation following last month’s breakaway by the Hertfordshire League clubs.

They will entertain Tew in the newly-formed Division 2 on Saturday, May 17.

Shipton visit Falkland on the opening day the previous week, while Tew entertain Chesham.

The first five and the last four games of the season will be 50 overs-a-side matches, while the games in between will be played on a time basis.
