EARLY pacesetters Cuckney will defend their 100 per cent record as they take on Caythorpe at Langwith Road in round three of the 2014 Notts Premier League (NPL) season.
The hosts have not been at their best while winning both matches so far. For Caythorpe, it's been a case of no wins, but no defeats either.
Clifton Village sit just four points behind Cuckney and will look to continue their good form as they play host to Radcliffe-on-Trent.
The Villagers had a season of struggle by their high standards in 2013, but look back on track so far in 2014.
Radcliffe have had a difficult re-introduction to the Premier and will be keen to get some points on the board sooner rather than later.
Fifth will take on third at Birchover Park as Welbeck Colliery visit the West Indian Cavaliers.
The Colliers fell 19 runs short of back-to-back wins as they got the worst of the draw versus Mansfield, while Cavs bounced back from an opening round defeat with a comprehensive victory at Radcliffe.
After 19 wickets fell for just 181 runs in the opening game at Birchover, it will be interesting to see if the bat can take over this time.
Despite being unbeaten, Rolls Royce Leisure sit just one point ahead of a Kimberley Institute squad that has one win and had one defeat so far.
Institute make the trip to Derby looking to get their batsmen back on track. Rolls have been Jekyll and Hyde so far, comfortably beating the Academy before being second best for much of last week while still holding on for draw points at Caythorpe.
The Fieldings will host a battle of the in-form bats, when Plumtree visit Mansfield Hosiery Mills.
The Millers have built scores around Gareth Curtis, who is 100 runs clear at the top of the batting chart, and the New brothers, while Plumtree racked up 350 last week in a team effort.
The final action of the day sees an early season bottom of the table clash as newly-promoted Ordsall Bridon welcome the Nottinghamshire Academy to All Hallows Street.
Both sides have lost two from two and come in to this game off the back of contrasting losses.
For Ordsall it was a 236-run pummelling from Plumtree, while the Academy went from having a win in the bag to losing by seven runs against Cuckney. Neither will want to make it three out of three in the loss column.
All games start at 12.30pm.
