UPPER Loddon Cricket Association is eyeing a return to country week competitions.
On the eve of the new season, association president Wendy Murphy said expressions of interest would soon be sought from juniors.
She said availability and age of players would determine what side the association would enter.
But no final call has been made on senior Bendigo Country Week with the association still to receive confirmation of a new format.
Bendigo Country Week has proposed options that would see association teams meeting at multiple venues on successive weekends for up to a month.
The proposed format would replace the traditional one-week structure when all matches have been played in Bendigo.
Murphy said the association expected to see Upper Loddon junior teams again provide players for opportunities at senior level.
Senior competition will be one-day matches from this Saturday. Juniors start on October 8 and secretary Michael Rose is putting finishing touches to the draw of one and two-day encounters.
In a late change to the draw, owing to grounds works still to be completed, reigning premiers Arnold will not meet Bridgewater at Bridgewater tomorrow.
