Like he did in last year's final, St Pat's Old Boys' talent Andrew Brown will lead the team, but it's a slightly different team to the one that won the final against Blue Mountains by 46 runs in February.

While Brown retains his spot, only Kurt Toole, Hugh Parsons, Hamish Siegert and Justin Stephenson are back to play in the second tier senior competition.

Into the squad comes Sam Macpherson, a player in red hot form after taking five wickets in Rugby Union's win against Orange City in Bathurst Orange Inter District Cricket last Saturday.

Bradley Rayner, David Rogerson, brothers Dave and Ben Cant, brothers Wayne and Dave Sellers have all come into the squad too.

City Colts' bowler Rogerson is a late call-up after ORC youngster Jacob Ryan withdrew from the original squad.

Sunday's match will be played in Molong at the Dr Ross Memorial Recreation Ground, which will be one of three rounds in the opening round of the 2021-22 Rod Hartas Trophy.

In the other two matches, Blue Mountains will host Mudgee at the Peter Carroll Field in Katoomba, while Gulgong is away to Orange at Riawena Oval.

The draw for this year's Rod Hartas Trophy has undergone a revamp since the original release, after Lithgow pulled out of the competition.

The competition was meant to feature seven teams, but instead will have six teams, with the first round of the trophy originally meant to be on Sunday, November 21.

The top two teams at the end of the regular season will contest a final on February 13, with the minor premier hosting the match.
