Chris Evans is back in the Gloucestershire county first team after setting a new course record at The Kendleshire.

He has been chosen for the final Channel League match of the season against Gwent at The Monmouthshire on Sunday.

Evans has now scored eight-under-par 64 on two of the three possible lay-outs at the 27-hole complex. His previous 64 was over holes 10-27 in the club championship in 2005.

His latest feat came on finals day and contained six birdies and an eagle to eclipse the old record by one shot. The joint holders were former club champion Ollie Glaze and Matt Kippen (Enmore Park) during the English Schools title last year.

Captain Nigel Thompson (Brickhampton Court) said: "Although Glamorgan have won the league, we still have a chance of finishing second so that is our target. But we also have the chance to introduce a couple of young players."

Tyler Hogarty (Rodway Hill), a 17-year-old Hartpury College student who set a new course record 65 in winning the Ross Scratch Cup by three shots, makes his first team debut.

Shane Winstone (Knowle), who made an impressive comeback in the defeat at Cornwall, retains his place alongside regular Richard Carter (Lansdown).

Former Walker Cup player and Welsh professional champion Mat Stanford joins fellow Chipping Sodbury members Dave Wood and Andy Hale in a side that also contains formidable Henbury pair Nick Scholey and Nick Day.

Somerset tackle champions Glamorgan at Saltford in their final match.

Gloucestershire's second team will win the Wessex League if they beat Gwent at Bristol & Clifton on Sunday.

Squad: Tim Clink (Lilly Brook), Laurie Potter, Neil Dean (Minchinhampton), Paul Ryder (Filton), Tony Baker (Knowle), Jason Cuff (Chipping Sodbury), Sam Payne (Shirehampton), Tom Workman (Stinchcombe Hill), Shaun Thornhill (Broadway), Sam Morgan (Bristol and Clifton).
