Nick Gingell returns to the Sidmouth 1st XI for the game with Exmouth at Fort Field.

Gingell hit that amazing 172 a week ago at Bicton for the 2nd XI and then took three wickets this having sat out the previous two months following surgery to his knee.

Jamie Wardrop makes way for Gingell in an otherwise unchanged Sidmouth side.

Skipper Will Murray, is realistic about what the remainder of the Francis Clark Devon league season holds for the champions, he says: β€œIt’s almost impossible for us to now catch North Devon, but stranger things have happened. We will keep going until the end, just in case North Devon slip or the weather plays a role.”

Sidmouth II travel to bottom of the table Cornwood II and Sidmouth III are also on the road, they go to Tavistock II.
