Worcestershire County League - Vote to Extend Season
This has been an unprecedented start to the season and as the Worcester News reported last evening the wettest March since 1947 !
This recent wet period led to the WCL hearing news on the ‘grapevine’ and direct reports from clubs to inform that they were ‘struggling’ to get a pitch/outfield ready for the originally intended season start date of Saturday 21st April, 2018. This, in association with the feedback received from clubs from the previous weeks Blueprint for West Midlands cricket persuaded the WCL to look at potential options to ‘postpone’ the start of the season by a week to Saturday 28th April, 2018 (with the date of Monday 28th May to be the catch up date to play the opening days fixtures).
The forty-eight clubs who make up WCL Divisions 1 to 4 Clubs were then contacted with this option and asked to vote to postpone (to Saturday 28th April) or to remain (start date Saturday 21st April).
Firstly, a big thank you to 84% of clubs that voted quickly over the weekend with regards to the above. Out of a total of 40 clubs responding the result of the vote was 21-19 in favour of leaving the start date as is, therefore a 75% majority was not reached to alter the date, so this time the ‘remainers’ win and the season start date for Division 1 to 4 clubs is as originally advertised; Saturday 21st April, 2018.
Once again, thank you on behalf of the WCL Cricket & Registrations Sub Committee for your endeavours with regards to voting (these things are never easy over a short period) and all the best for the new season ahead – when we eventually get going when the rain stops!
