T20 action for Peterborough Town, first Cambs League and Hunts League matches
Peterborough Town open their competitive Saturday season with two Northants T20 Championship fixtures at Geddington and then Loddington & Mawsley.
Oundle Town also travel to two different venues, in their case Stony Stratford and Overstone Park.
Peterborough Town will again be captained by David Clarke and have replaced one left arm seamer in Hayatullah Niazi with another in Jaskaran Singh who has moved across Northants from Kettering Town.
Town were maddeningly inconsistent last season and will rely heavily on big guns Josh Smith and Nick Green in order to mount a Northants Premier Division title challenge after finishing runners-up last summer. Smith was comfortably the highest run scorer in the top flight last season. The Premier Division season starts on Saturday, May 23, after the clubs have played three weeks of T20 cricket.
Town were losing semi-finalists in the short form competition last season, while Oundle lost in the final.
The Cambs and Hunts Leagues start on Saturday, while Ramsey host Horsford in the top-class East Anglian Premier League.
The combined Beds and Hunts team beat Lincs by four runs in the first round of the National County Cup in Dunstable. Holly Reeder (36) top scored in Beds and Hunts T20 score of 130-7.
