Well that has taken a lot longer than expected.  The unfortunate demise of the NECL and an on-going interest from the AJ Sports Suffolk League for a possible merger has delayed decisions on the structure of Sunday cricket in the Two Counties Championship while various consultations and Zoom meetings took place.

Responsibiity for the old NECL 30 Over Development League this season will be undertaken by Richard Polley, MSC Committee member, who has contacted the nine clubs who have expressed an interest.  The Sunday League will continue to be run by Pat Patel and an email will be sent out to all interested clubs very shortly.  The Geoff Newman T20 competition for clubs in Essex will now be run by Stuart Coker, an additional responsibility for him since he already arranges the fixtures for the Championship Saturday Leagues and Stuart has already contacted interested clubs.  Finally the Indoor League (already in progress) will continue to be administered by Richard Hunt of Brightlingsea CC.

The MSC thanks the above for their commitment and ask that communication on these competitions is forwarded to the correct person as follows

Many thanks for your patience……

It is with great sadness that Frinton have to announce the sudden passing of our 3rd XI skipper Tony Oram (62 yrs). Tony was well known & respected in cricket circles having played for Frinton, Kirby, Forty Club & Two Counties. He will be sadly missed. Funeral details TBA.

It’s been a bit busy lately but I have now got round to publishing the Minutes from the recent Championship AGM as below –  the first time for many years when all member clubs were in attendance, thanks to all:

A revised structure is linked below.  You will notice that Divisions 1 to 7 is the same but there have been a few changes to Divisions 8 and 9.   Our thanks to Tuddenham, Long Melford, Kirby and Harwich and Dovercourt for agreeing the changes – we feel that we have ended up with a better structure.  Changes are in Boldface
