OULTON Park and Davenham will attempt to eliminate higher-ranked opponents when this season’s Cheshire Cup gets under way on Sunday.

Alderley Edge, from the county league’s top flight, are the visitors to Little Budworth.

Davenham’s test is arguably an even sterner one, for they travel to holders Chester Boughton Hall.

Blocking Weaverham’s path to the last 16 is a familiar foe in the form of their Division One rivals Didsbury.
