The announcement of the 2018 South Northants Cricket League has given Willoughby an interesting start to their respective SNCL Premier and Division 4 campaigns.
The 1st XI, with new skipper Ben Hollis at the helm, begin life back in the Premier Division with two consecutive home games against Wroxton on Saturday 28th April and Marston St Lawrence over the bank holiday weekend on Saturday 5th May.
There then follows trips to Thornborough and then to last year’s champions Syresham to close the first month of the campaign.
Willoughby’s 2nd XI, with Badj Rahman in as skipper, begin their season with trips to new boys Silverstone A (28th April) and Thornborough A (5th May), before hosting Woodford Halse (12th May) and neighbours Dunchurch & Bilton A (19th May).
These come ahead ahead of the first of three encounters – two of those away – at fellow neighbours Flecknoe; the first being over the Whitsun bank holiday on Saturday 26th May.
The other set of local derbies - with Braunston Paddox A - comes in consecutive weeks on Saturday 9th and 16th June.
