The biggest crowd of the season - including Ireland internationals in Belfast - will converge on Eglinton over the next two days for the Northern Bank Senior Cup final between Limavady and Glendermott.
Limavady, captained by the legendary Decker Curry, will be favourites because of the strength in depth but Hasan Raza, who played Test cricket for Pakistan at the age of 14, is in the Glendermott line-up and is hot favourite to be the top individual scorer in the match.
Unlike their counterparts in the Northern union and Leinster, North West still play four limited overs innings in the cup final and with huge neutral support it is still proving as popular as ever.
With the bating on both teams much superior to their bowling, a high-scoring final is promised and the attraction of the best batsman playing for the underdogs sets up a showdown which will not be as clear-cut as the last cup final meeting between the teams in 2003, when Limavady won by 10 wickets.
The action today and tomorrow starts at noon.
