always a bit sad to see an 'end of season sale'.the cricket season is way too short.
There are 52 weeks of the year, of which the cricket season (going on just league cricket here) takes up about 17 of those. It's a long old winter!
Yes gone are the days when I started plYing the 2nd Sat in April then matches every Sat and Sun with the last match 1st Sun in Oct.
we started league cricket on the 23rd April this season, last game on the 17th Septemberfriendly on might arrange a friendly for the week after if the weather looks ok
I think the longest season I can recall playing, including friendlies, was mid April to mid September. That was still "only" 5 months. Sadly, friendly cricket (especially on Sundays) seems to have died out recently, those long seasons are now just a distant memory.
