Pinfield describes his team as “youthful with plenty of athleticism.”

He said there were plenty of options with bat and ball for the 40 overs per side contest.

There is a first appearance from Pinfield’s free-scoring Jer Lane clubmate Raqeeb Younas, who scored 67 in the Parish Cup final recently.

Two young members of the Copley side which beat Lane on that occasion will also be near the head of the batting order.
