Captain: Greg Smithson. Professional: Raheel Majeed (Pakistan). Last year: 10.

Greg Smithson: "WE are really looking forward to the season.

"It was difficult last year with the professional arriving arriving late because of visa problems and, all things considered, we were quite happy with where we finished.

"But we want to kick on this year, although it is a tough league this time around and I don’t think there are any easy games for anyone.

"And hopefully it will be a good summer."

Matt Donlan’s prediction: 13.
