Please make every effort to play the game as you have all lost so much already.
For this competition only NO REGISTRATION OF PLAYERS will be required.
All I will require is both teams to send in the result and it would be nice to know if anyone had a good night with bat / ball for the website.
For this season only as it’s likely that the sections will be a mixture of divisions as I will regionalise as much as I can no fielding restrictions as the lower leagues are not used to this concept.
FINALLY
The League endorses all social distancing and ECB and Government regulations to get the game on and played in a safe environment. It will be each club’s responsibility to ensure that’s its players and supporters adhere to these rules.

2020 Season suspended.
March 18, 2020
Dear all,
Following the Government’s latest advice around social distancing, it is with sadness and reluctance that we recommend that all forms of recreational cricket are for now suspended.
This extends to training, pre-season friendlies and any associated cricket activity.
Sport plays an absolutely vital role in the nation’s mental and physical wellbeing, and it helps people find meaning where there is fear and uncertainty, so one of our goals in the coming weeks will be to explore ways that we can support some levels of physical activity in communities – particularly at junior levels.
Using our cricket community to support others could be one of the most important services we can offer during the difficult next few months.
It will be critical that any decisions we do make are medically-led. And we will continue to work with Government and their advisors to ensure we are informed by science in our decision making.
Over the coming weeks we will work with the game to understand what support is required across the cricket community, particularly local clubs and leagues.
We understand that countless hours of work from thousands of volunteers have already gone into getting ready for the 2020 season and we know how disappointing this will be. We are thankful for the huge role that volunteers play in local cricket, to ensure the game remains at the heart of communities.
We know that you and your clubs can play an important role in bringing your community together once we get past this period of time.
As you can see from the above Directive from the ECB The Adams Harrison Midweek Cricket League will follow above advice. We will keep you updated on any further developments as we get them . If we can and are allowed to get some cricket in we will do our upmost to do this in what form we cannot say at this time.
Best wishes and stay safe.
Colin Godsmark
Secretary
New team
