25th April for us, friendly on the 18th. Not looking nearly as sub zero weather wise the past few days! Think it still might be a beanie and handwarmers day.

Had our first friendly on the Sunday against the team we are most likely to play our first league game of the season.

Absolutely buzzing, been picked for the uni first team to play against Newport CC in Wales on Saturday. Doesn't seem real that the season is here already!

Spent 4 hours in the nets yesterday and am feeling it today! First game of the season might be a shock to the system  :-[

First game should have been week on thursday.  But our tour was cancelled due to (No Swearing Please). 

So we have an inter Club friendly on the 19th instead.

Friendlies for the next two Saturdays and then league matches start on the 25th April.

It would be interesting to know when the first league match actually is, before the 25th April seems very early and I bet there would be some low scores around!

leagues should start 18th apr to 26th sept. april makes it a good game as the wickets are not conducive to batsmen and sept is cracking weather now so it's a month wasted. More games means more people playing.. more money for the clubs.

So I am officially playing on saturday.  With 9 1st XI boys.  Can expect a nice boring day at fine leg and to bat at 9! ...Yippee...

To be honest, I will just be glad to get some form of outdoor cricket in me

Surely guys retire at 50 ? And anyone not getting a good bat bowls 4+ overs?? It's a pre season game after all

Rubbish for your mates watching you all day though too? Plus, isn't the point of pre season to get as many time in the middle and overs as you can? 5 people scoring 50 is better than 2 scoring 100's?
