It is impossible to please all of the clubs all of the time but the attached represents the best option considering all parameters. Also attached is a letter from the fixtures secretary asking for action from clubs with issues of ground availability during season 2026. Please act on this NOW….. For your information the 22 week season 2026 will start on Saturday 18th April and end on 12th September
A copy of the rule changes proposed by clubs (as below) has been sent out by Scott Button to all Championship Reps. Please deal with this ASAP as the MSC are meeting next week to discuss rule changes and your input will be considered. One completed form only per club please and it is better to do so via your Championship Rep – nil returns will assume you are happy with the status quo
Finals Day! The itinerary is as follows:
11am Hatfield Peverel v Great Waltham and then

Apart from Division 1 all matches in other divisions start at 12.30 from 16th August. My apologies for not posting this earlier……. From 1st September all matches with panel umpires shall start not later than 12.00pm except in Div. 1 where the start time will be 1130am.
There have been issues with the website as some clubs have already found out……. Mel Phair has changed the supplier because of this and the new website can be found here:
All clubs are reminded that suggestions for any rule changes should be submitted in writing to the MSC by the 1st September.
Tory Hughes of Easton CC has been invited and accepted the role of Women’s Cricket Coordinator. The MSC are delighted to have her on board leading this important role. Her position will be ratified at the next AGM. Welcome aboard Tory!!
Message from Rob Mills – Mistley. MSC sympathies are with Keith of course.
“Keith Lamdin took a nasty blow to the side of the head on Saturday when umpiring our 1st team game versus Witham 2’s. All were very concerned at the time.
We double checked with Keith on Saturday night that he was ok and I have spoken with him this morning and he is still a bit shaken but otherwise fine. He was extremely grateful for the care and attention he received from both the emergency responder playing for Witham and the people in the pavilion at Mistley who sat with him until and ambulance crew checked him out.
I thought I would share this with you as sometimes good deeds don’t get reported and only the bad side is accentuated.”
