"Many players drift away from the game on retirement from club cricket and it is hoped the new Sunday league will see former players re-establish links with Bay of Plenty clubs," he said.
The Opotiki representatives will play at home at the Waioeka Domain where a sole Bay of Plenty representative fixture was played against Poverty Bay in 1962.
Mount Maunganui, Te Puke and Cadets - who are all long-time Western Bay clubs - have seen former members and a few new recruits answer the call to duty to play in the Sunday league.
Rotorua will play their home games at Smallbone Park.
Opotiki sit the first round out with a bye.
