Rotorua's best cricketers will do battle this weekend as they look to get their hands on the Attrill Cup.

Club cricket will make way for the Attrill Cup games this weekend, which has been contested in the Bay of Plenty since the early 1930s.

The Attrill Cup is a sub-association competition, where representative teams from four regions in the Bay of Plenty do battle.

The Rotorua representative side will face-off against Eastern Bay of Plenty today and Western Bay of Plenty tomorrow, with all games played at Fergusson Park in Tauranga.

The Western Bay of Plenty representative team have one hand on the Attrill Cup, after a weather interrupted round one last Sunday.

The Rotorua versus Tauranga match at Ray Boord Park was rained out.

The Western Bay side (which draws its players from the premier ranks of the Mount Maunganui and Te Puke clubs) defeated Eastern Bay of Plenty in a sprint finish.

In recent years, the early season competition has doubled as a Bay trial to select the first Bay of Plenty senior men's team of the season.
