Most have, I don't remember the rules but I think entry into Div 1 was dependent on covers. Windsor were in Div1 a couple of years ago, so maybe they have something.

If they do not have covers Nick then it must be joke cricket unless they are allowed to play on plastic.

You'd be surprised how many clubs play a good standard without covers. As I said, it's rare in the TVL as most clubs have enclosed grounds but the only one that use to stand out was Kew, who are based on common land. Windsor are in a similar situation which is why I wondered if they had covers. Div 2a is a pretty decent level which makes it more interesting if they don't.

In the Wetherby League a number of Div 1 clubs do not have covers. Though it's supposed to be a village league the top clubs certainly do play a good standard. My club has basic covers and sightscreens, as we feel both are a requirement to play a better standard of cricket but alot of clubs in yorks don't.

Same goes for our league we paid £5000 for our covers which not every club can afford to purchase....just because they don't have covers doesn't make the standard of cricket a joke.

Some pitches aren't in a great area to have them as they will get vandalised and some grounds are too small to have anywhere to store them!

Would argue our deck is one of the best in the NE and we don't have any form of covers! Certainly better than some NEPL teams!

doesn't sound good. I am sure you are good enough Leo, if not better than that level, but I don't know of many clubs who would stick you straight into the 1s. Please tell me they've seen you net at least?

Parkfield & Headstone - I probably played against you a couple of weeks ago!  I play for Old Haberdashers.
