As I'm sure many of of our readers will be aware club cricket has been given the go ahead to resume this Saturday and weather permitting, and the forecast is good, the blog should be able to resume its normal summer service providing eye witness accounts of cricket matches from near and far. The season of course will not be anything like normal for with the start some three months behind the original date, clubs will not be able to play the full complement of matches and although my research has not been exhaustive several leagues have decided there will be no promotion or relegation.
The two clubs on my door step, Ouseburn and Whixley are both at home, OCC v Helperby and newly promoted Whixley also at home, their opponents Studley Royal II. Each club will play 8 Saturday matches, taking them up to and including September 5th and then the top four teams in each division will proceed to a play off competition.
Ouseburn have emailed their regular supporters setting out the restrictions for watching with the usual social distancing applying. The club room will be closed and there will be no refreshments provided. Spectators will need to bring their own seats and an area will be set aside for their use. I imagine similar arrangements will apply at other grounds. It won't be the same but it's better than nowt.
Back on the road again
