No one was willing to give up every Friday night and the entire weekend to do it so they have pulled the plug.

Not sure if anyone can confirm if that is a requirement and if so if it has to be the same person for every game all weekend for the season?



That's the other thing and the cricket associations have been telling councils they will not budge and start later or have shorter seasons. Not sure why council can't tell them to **** off and cricket get more sway than a sport that has more participants and users of their fields (so pay more).
That’s correct according to the guidelines regarding the Covid Duty Officer plus having club the appropriate measures applied. All these regulations are a massive impost on Community/Grassroots clubs.
In relation to cricket our club has been told the cricket will delay the start to late October if necessary.
