Eves Realty Greerton, who square off against Element IMF Cadets in the Williams Cup on Saturday, will long remember last year's Williams Cup match-up between the two sides.

Twelve months ago Greerton were jubilant when they removed Cadets for what seemed to be a modest 130 runs.

All visions of an easy Greerton victory were obliterated when Cadets Black Cap Trent Boult in a rare appearance for his club dismissed the first three Greerton batsmen for ducks.

Bay of Plenty representative master blaster Brett Hampton showed some resistance to Boult, however, when he was removed for 20, Greerton were in real trouble.

Boult continued his express deliveries and finished the match with eight wickets for 37 runs as Greerton were dismissed for 93 to give Cadets a 37 run victory.

With Greerton having won just one of their first three Williams Cup games, the Pemberton Park side will be desperate for victory to keep them in contention for a semi-final place.

They are also likely to be without some of their key players who will be on Hawke Cup duty over the weekend.

By comparison, Cadets have been without two of their star players in Joe Carter and Jono Boult for most of the season, which has given a couple of youngsters an opportunity in the Baywide premier ranks.

One such player is former Otumoetai College first XI bowler Christian MacDonald, who took three wickets for just 6 runs against defending champions Mount Maunganui two weeks ago.

Te Puke, who is the only unbeaten team in the 2014 Williams Cup, showed that they are genuine contenders for championship honours in late March when they outplayed Cadets last week.

Te Puke bowled Cadets out for 170 and then cruised to an eight wicket victory.

On Saturday they square off with Tauranga Boys' College at the Te Puke Domain.

Mount Maunganui takes on Whakatane United at Blake Park, with the Baywide formbook suggesting a Mount victory.

Smallbone Park will host a Rotorua derby, with Central who sits in second equal place with Cadets and Mount Maunganui, facing BOP Indians.
