The traditional TCL powerhouse has made an uncharacteristically slow start with four straight losses in the 40-over format and captain-coach Matthew Wells would love to rectify that against their arch enemy.

"It's been a pretty tough start for us and Trevallyn are always a hard side to beat," Wells said.

"We usually match-up well against them and it is always a keenly-contested game so hopefully things can fall into place for us and we can get a win on the board.

"We are doing a lot of things right and the boys are working hard but we just have to put it all together on the day and if we can all lift a little bit things hopefully will fall into place for us."

The Durhams lose Jarrod Wells this week.

TREVALLYN is coming off its first win in the longer format after beating Hadspen last week.

"It was a great effort by the lads - we didn't bat that well apart from Glen Gleeson but then we had one of the best spells of bowling I've seen for a long time from Mitch Edwards who took 2-6, off eight overs, and Arlen Thompson took four-for," Trevallyn captain-coach Damian Whybrow said.

"Our batting wasn't that good but our bowling and fielding was A1 and hopefully we can continue that this week.

"Legana haven't won a game yet but wouldn't be too far away from doing that and we will have to be at the top of our game to beat them."

Trevallyn will have an unchanged side.

PERTH will look to continue its good form after defeating Diggers last week but faces a tough test against Beauty Point.

Demons captain Matthew Lawrence was very happy with the win and the way they batted in posting a competitive 204.

"Beau Hills and Rob Eltringham have been scoring runs consistently for them and will be two big wickets along with Jason Savage if he plays and they have a tough top six to get through so it will be another challenge for our boys," Lawrence said.

Coby Latham returns to the team.

BEAUTY POINT skipper Eltringham said their batting was again good last week but their bowling dropped away after the first 20 overs.

Eltringham praised the good form of Hills with the bat and ball and said they would not be taking the Demons lightly.

"They have a few good cricketers in their side and will be a surprise come the end of the year I think," he said.

Eddie Miller will play his first game for the Point and Adam Turner returns.

HADSPEN plays Uni-Mowbray on a big day for both clubs with a Pink Stumps Day fund-raiser for the McGrath Foundation.

Hadspen captain Clint Moore said his side bowled and fielded well last week restricting Trevallyn to 162, but could not get batting partnerships together in their run chase.

"Uni are a little bit unknown and have improved a lot from last year and are above us on the ladder," he said.

"Every game we play is a challenge and we expect a good match this week."

UNI-MOWBRAY regains its captain and key batsman Shane Evans but has three players out with Luke Richards and Al Worth unavailable and Leigh Sheppard injured.

DIGGERS take on ladder-leader Longford needing to lift in the field according to coach Craig Wegman after dropping several catches in their loss to Perth last week.

Wegman said they needed to get back to doing the basics well and were hopeful of a better performance.

Sam Woolcock comes into the team for Tim Crawford.

LONGFORD continued on its winning way last week with Tigers president Phil Dodd happy with their batting and bowling effort in beating Uni.

Dodd said a few batsmen enjoyed some time in the middle and their bowlers continued their consistent performance.

The unbeaten Tigers should have a full list available with some fierce competition for spots.

TCL A-GRADE LADDER - Longford 22; Beauty Point 16; Uni-Mowbray 12; Diggers 10; Trevallyn 10; Perth 8; Hadspen 8; Legana 2
