EAST Lancashire youngsters Mini Bhada and Danny Chester will make their Lancashire Colts bow tomorrow after landing the Red Rose call for the Northern Premier League clash at leaders St Annes.
Former Blackburn Northern opening batsman Bhada is already established in the East Lancs’ side, while 16-year-old Chester is tipped for big things.
The Colts, skippered by Jason Swift, look to include up-and-coming players from around the leagues.
They face each of the 13 clubs once away from home and have won four of their five games this season.
Darwen’s England under 19 ace Alex Davies has been a regular for the Colts this season but he plays for his home club as they welcome Lancaster to Birch Hall.
John Cordingley’s men lost for the first time this season last Saturday when they went down at Netherfield but bounced back to form by crushing Chorley on Monday.
And a win tomorrow could see them shoot up to sixth place in the table from their current 11th spot.
Chorley are at full strength as they look to improve on their fifth place when they make the trip to Preston tomorrow.
Elsewhere Netherfield travel to Blackpool while defending champions Leyland, in third, are at home to Carnforth.
Morecambe travel to Broadwater to play a Fleetwood side fresh from their thrilling win at Blackpool and Kendal play Barrow.
There are three Twenty20 games scheduled in the Jamie Heywood Cup tonight with the pick being the local derby at Birch Hall between Darwen and Chorley.
