NEW Milton will hand competitive first-team debuts to teenagers James 'Jimmy' Adams and Brad Currie as they aim to maintain their lofty perch.
The Green and Golds sit at the top of Southern Premier League Division One and will put out a youthful XI at Liphook & Ripsley tomorrow (1pm).
Batsman Adams and bowler Currie are two of three changes made to the side, the former of which plays for Dorset Leopards while the latter has been training with Gloucestershire.
Toby Edwards looks set to fulfil the wicketkeeper role in the absence of Ben Lawes, while Joe Prodomo and Dan Loader also drop out of the side.
Skipper James Park told the Daily Echo: "We've got five players under 21 playing this weekend.
"It's good to have a young side and, hopefully, they will play no-fear cricket.
"They have had no bad experiences in the game so I am positive they will be up to the task.
"Let's just hope Jimmy is as good as his namesake!"
New Milton: N Park, House, J Park, Adams, Haggaty, Edwards, L Beck, Elliott, Gargaro, Watts, Currie.
