Latest Just Sport Cup and Paddlers Plate Information

Please download Newsletter 2 and the Cup/Plate current status. A press report is also available.

Six of the twelve ties have been played and reported; Blue Flames play High Stables at Beamish tonight. Due to rain on Wednesday and Thursday progress has been limited and the next round ties potentially delayed. This gives opportunity in the interim for teams to arrange friendly fixtures, especially where a ground has already been booked.

Please report further results soonest to donc@blueyonder.co.uk

Be sure to follow the guidelines with care and attention.

First results of the Season are in!

Five of the ties have been reported so far this week. Eyes are on the weather for tonight with four ties scheduled.

Please keep donc@blueyonder.co.uk and your next opponents informed of results and delays so that possible ties next week can be quickly confirmed. Otherwise, use could be made of ground bookings to arrange friendlies.

In both Cup and Plate two teams will have byes to the semi-finals. It is suggested that, rather than having a blank week, they arrange to play each other to be credited with the Bill Valance Cup and the Bob Howe Shield respectively.

Just Sport Cup Ties This Week

The days this week for the ties are attached.

Both home and away team players and officials should arrive at the ground ready changed for the game and be sure to have individual hand sanitiser which ideally fits into a pocket.

Other highlighted interpretations of the Guidelines have been given in the Newsletter.

The home teams for next week can already be seen from the draw for both the Cup and the Plate so grounds can be arranged.

One team in each of the Cup and the Plate will have a *bye in the semi-finals and can play each other to be credited with the Bill Valance Cup.

Enjoy some friendly cricket!

Message from the League President

Dear All,

As your President I am delighted and proud of both the Management, Committee and Clubs of the NEMW Cricket League.

In a season both overshadowed and curtailed by Covid 19 you have put in place everything needed to run both the Cup and Plate Competitions.

In such a short season your achievement this year is astonishing and shows your commitment to both the Game and our League.

Cricket has many laws and regulations with more now added for everyone’s safety.

Enjoy this unique season.

With many thanks and best wishes,
Malcolm Kennedy
