AUTRALIANS Anthony Quon and Sam Kenny are set to clash in a Melbourne city 'derby' 12,000 miles from home.

At home they are team mates at Hampton Cricket Club, but on Sunday they will be deadly enemies as they face each other in Division One of the Craven League.

Quon (left), a batsman wicket keeper, who scored a half century against Pendle Forest last weekend is determined to maintain his form.

But Kenny, a left arm swing bowler, thinks he has the edge.

"I have been bowling against him since he was about 12, and I think I know every weekness in his batting," he said.

The rivalry has turned the game between the Keighley side and the South Craven outfit into a real grudge match.

"The boys at Cowling told me that have never been involved in a grudge game agazinst Long Lee before, but our rivalry really should give the game an edge," Anthony Quon said.

The clubmates came to Keighley after Keighley brothers, Ross and Dale Towler, travelled to Australia and spent a season with the Hampton club.

A third member of their senior team, Adrian Voss, is playing with Harden in the Aire-Wharfe League.

Anthony and Adrian arrived for the start of the season and struggled with wet wickets after the area suffered one of the wettest winters on record. the bitterly cold early-season weather was also a shock to the Aussies who had flown in at the end of their own summer season.

Sam arrived in June after getting married and is making the trip part of his honeymoon. "It has been great to come over here and enjoying playing cricket -- and the local people are just fantastic," he said.
