Well done to Dunmow, Mildenhall and Maldon who are trying to re-arrange fixtures or make new fixtures caused by the cancelation of matches this weekend due to the travel restrictions. We hope that you are successful – as last season shows us any match played is important and after all this is why we choose to play this wonderful game.
So the MSC has now been in contact with all clubs who have had to cancel an away match who have a team playing this Saturday with a team in a “lower” division. And also to those clubs affected with the knock on effect of a cancelation even if their club was not directly involved.
We have asked that all these clubs do not then select players from a “higher” division who have played in BOTH of the fixtures so far ……. play-cricket will be watching on Saturday…….!! Apart from contravening the spirit of cricket in these difficult times there could also be safety issues.
We urge clubs to contact us by Friday 10pm and seek guidance on a particular player(s) if they feel it is needed. Some clubs have already done so…….
