Leeton players face busy period in Griffith Cricket

Having seen all of last weekend washout due to the inclement weather, players will be hoping to return to the middle this weekend.

First grade will see the Diggers side featuring Reece Maguire, Angus Boulton and Josh Lanham taking on Exies Eagles in a replay of two rounds ago.

Meanwhile, the Coro side featuring Brent Lawrence and Thomas Camm will take on Hanwood.

A win this weekend for Diggers will see them close the gap at the top of the table to Hanwood regardless of their result against Coro with 10 points on offer for the second-placed side from their day-night clash with Exies Eagles.

That won't be the only games for the first graders this weekend, with the Don Coleman Shield Twenty20 preliminary rounds played on Sunday, seeing all five first grade teams playing twice for a chance to play in the final on March 6.

There is some rain predicted to hit on Saturday night into Sunday morning, meaning the Twenty20 could be in doubt with fields holding moisture from last weekend's downpour.
