Defending champions Leamington face Warwickshire’s three highest-ranked Birmingham Premier League clubs - leaders Berkswell, second-placed Knowle & Dorridge plus the sixth-placed hosts - in the highly-anticipated week-long competition.

Berkswell can call on the services of as many as eight players with first-class experience, and in particular will look to the all-round talents of former Glamorgan star Nick James and South African paceman Gerry Cloete.

They get the competition under way at 5.30pm on Monday against K&D who hope Aussie ace Beau Webster will inspire a first floodlit title win.
