WANSTEAD are out for revenge against Saffron Walden after this weekend's opponents dumped them out of the League Cup earlier this year.
An embarrassing seven-wicket defeat at the hands of Saffron earlier this month has riled Wanstead skipper Arfan Akram and he is eager to make amends at Overton Drive on Saturday.
"We're highly motivated to get one back (on Saffron) after they comfortably beat us in the cup," said Akram.
"It will be a tough match but historically this fixture provides some great cricket."
After getting the season underway with a hard-fought victory over Chingford last week, Wanstead will be hoping to get into a winning habit early on as they seek to go one better than last year and win the division.
FIVES are looking to open the season with back-to-back wins as Terry Ballard's side take on Harold Wood on Saturday.

Fives have got their campaign off to the best possible start with a win over Harlow, but he knows he will have a tough task on his hands as they face an unknown quantity in Harold Wood, who gained promotion from Division Three last year.
"We're looking forward to Saturday and we're aiming to build on our winning start," said Ballard.
"It will be a tough game against Harold Wood, they also had a good win and we do not know a lot about them after they gained promotion last season."
Ballard saw his side chase down a target of 189 with consummate ease on Saturday, and he will be hoping both his batting and bowling attacks will repeat that form this weekend.
