Weather-permitting there are club cricket league matches across the region today and we list the top matches on our cricket fixtures pages.
Tomorrow the 2012 Minor Counties Championship is due to swing into action again with three-day Western Division league matches involving the region’s top players.
Devon are the defending Minor Counties Championship champions having beaten Cambridgeshire by 170 runs in last year’s final at March Town CC.
Devon CCC - skippered by Bovey Tracey's Chris Bradley - started their title defence with a five-wicket win over Wales at Exmouth CC in a match reduced to one day by rain.
MCCA Trophy semi-finalists Wiltshire continue their Championship campaign at home to 2011 Trophy winners Berkshire at Corsham CC (Station Road) while Wales host Cheshire at Usk and Cornwall meet cross-Tamar rivals Devon at St Austell CC (Wheal Eliza).
Dorset will have home advantage for next week’s MCCA Trophy semi-final against Cumberland but travel to play Oxfordshire at Banbury CC (White Post Road) tomorrow.
Cheshire lost their opener by 88 runs against Shropshire at Bridgnorth CC while Wiltshire drew a rain-affected opener against Dorset at Dean Park.
