Counties second round team they selected on Wednesday, after Corey Hill withdrew 24 hours later because of a groin injury.

Hill's place for today's match at Lord's against Cleveland will be taken by Clarkie Trott in what will be the only change for Bay's 11th straight match as champions since winning the cup back from St. David's in the 1993 final.

Cleveland have two outside players in their team -- former captain Peter Philpott of Police and Western Stars spinner Hasan Durham. Courtney Trott, who was prevented from making his debut last year because of an injury, is the only colt in the match.

Teams Bailey's Bay: Charlie Marshall, Roger Trott, Glenn Blakeney, Irving Romaine, Dennis Pilgrim, Anthony Braithwaite, Andre Manders, Clarkie Trott, Dexter Basden, Noel Gibbons, Cal Dill. Res: Desmond Crockwell, Stephen Outerbridge.

Cleveland: Aaron Adams, Carlton Smith, Curtis Jackson, Allan Douglas, Peter Philpott, Courtney Trott (colt), Jason Simons, Hasan Durham, Andre Smith, Gregory Talbot, Johnny Richardson. Res: Quincey Burgess, V.J.Gibbons.

Cleveland veteran Allan Douglas is hoping his side can follow their earlier success when they beat Bay in the Overs competition.

"We're taking the approach to be positive in everything we do,'' said Douglas.

"We're looking to snap up the chances we get. We have some good bowlers in the team and the wicket turned a bit last time and we're hoping it does the same now.'' The trophy has eluded Cleveland since 1980 when they beat Bay in the second round only to lose to Flatts in the final two weeks later.

Douglas, the veteran of the team at 39, wants to win the cup back for the community before he retires from the game.

"One of my goals is to win it and get out,'' said the wicketkeeper.

"I don't have much time left, this year or next year, so let's do it now because next year is not promised to me.

"We are confident we can win against them but we need to win against them in county cup which matters most to the community.'' Bay captain Charlie Marshall had one message for Cleveland: "The Knockout competition and the county cup are a totally different ballgame and you can't compare.

"I know our teams take the Eastern Counties very serious. We look at the youngsters and try to set an example for those youngsters coming along.'' Four Premier Division Open matches are scheduled for tomorrow with leaders St.

George's hoping to be back to full strength for the visit to Wellington Oval of defending champions Western Stars.

Second-placed Bay, just three points behind St. George's, face a tricky away match to Willow Cuts who beat them recently in Overs play after scoring 300 runs batting second.

The other matches see St. David's playing PHC at Lord's and Police hosting Southampton at Police Field.
