Plenty of big encounters in the North Wales Cricket League
Gresford, who lost their unbeaten record with a defeat at the hands of defending Division One champions Northop Seconds last time out, will head to unbeaten Halkyn for their next match-up.
For Gresford skipper Josh Knowles, it's all about batsmen profiting when they are out in the middle.
He said: 'We need to bat the situations better. Unfortunately, we lost wickets at regular intervals (against Northop) and couldn't build positive partnerships to get to a score that could be defendable.'
While that loss sees Gresford in fourth place in the standings, Halkyn are third after winning all three of their opening encounters this season.
Knowles, who will welcome Cam Evans and Toby Bellis back into the line-up, added: 'Halkyn are a good side and that showed with their win over Llandudno last weekend. We will be tested.'
Leading the way at this early stage of the campaign are Hawarden Park and they play host to Northop Seconds looking to make it four wins out of four.
Victories should push Mold and Connah's Quay into the top half of the table, but both sides have tough match-ups. Mold are at home to second-placed Dolgellau, while Quay welcome Llandudno, who were relegated from the top flight last summer.
Brymbo Seconds will look to make home comforts count versus Bangor Seconds and Pontblyddyn are away to Mochdre Seconds.
