Brymbo and Gwersyllt Park up for the cup... and the league!
The rivals will return to 50-over Premier Division action on Saturday, before they face each other on Sunday in a big Welsh Cup showdown. It's Brymbo who will have home advantage for that match-up and the winners will join Colwyn Bay as North Wales' representatives in the quarter-finals. Brymbo skipper Dan Parry is anticipating a tough encounter in the cup and he said: 'They have got dangerous men. The overseas has found his feet. 'They have got a few of our old players in Ryan Collier and Jake James that are very dangerous. 'Then you've got the wily Iroshan de Silva.' As an added bonus, the winners know they will receive home comforts in the last-eight, with Pontarddulais their opponents. It's possible Brymbo could claim the North Wales Cricket League and Welsh Cup crowns before the summer is out, but Parry has stressed: 'I would say don't get too far ahead of ourselves! 'We have still got eight more weeks to go.' Of immediate concern is getting into a 50-over frame of mind on the back of a month of T20 action, with Brymbo returning to the longer format with tomorrow's match-up at home to Denbigh. 'I think it's going to be interesting to see how people are going to tackle the powerplay,' said Parry. 'We have had a bit of a chat about it. It's going to be back to how we were.' Brymbo are expected to make two changes for Saturday's side, with an additional amendment to Sunday's side. Gwersyllt Park will warm-up for their cup derby with tomorrow's trip to tackle Mochdre. With the T20 points now shared out, the race for the Premier Division title has just got a lot tighter. There's just eight points separating leaders Bangor from defending champions Mochdre, who are down in fifth. Northop are in sixth position and they will play host to third-placed St Asaph tomorrow. Northop skipper Bart Ryan-Beswick offered his congratulations to Bangor on winning the T20 league, while he's looking forward to the return to 50-over action. He said: "Good game upcoming this weekend and we have a strong team at home to face St Asaph." Front-runners Bangor are at Conwy and Menai Bridge, who are fourth, travel to basement side Bethesda. As with the top flight, at enthralling battle for the Division One title is also taking place. Leaders Mold are involved in the match of the day tomorrow as they pay a visit to third-placed Llandudno.

Long treks are in the offing for Connah's Quay and Northop Seconds, against Bangor Seconds and Dolgellau respectively. Meanwhile, Gresford will have home advantage for their derby clash with Brymbo Seconds.
