BRETFORTON'S npower Village Cup defeat last Sunday leaves the Worcester-shire, Herefordshire and Powys group devoid of local representation.
The Cotswold Hills League will have to rely on 2004 runners-up Exhall and Wixford and Twyning this weekend when both face stiff tests.
Exhall, who are likely to be without injured captain Simon Hollands entertain Leicestershire and Warwickshire old foes Fillongley, while Twyning travel to perennial Gloucestershire group winners Dumbleton.
Bretforton's delayed group match against Eastnor saw the visitors score 187-9 - a total that was only threatened in the later stages when Anthony Witts hit an undefeated 54 but his efforts were in vain as Bretforton's brave reply closed on 179-9.
