A depleted Sunday in the NECL, due to a certain match at St John’s Wood enthralling the cricketing community, as well as a large proportion of the country who may not be so interested in the sport. Hopefully, the success of the senior side will encourage more people to visit their local clubs and see what the game is all about. Most clubs took the pragmatic decision to reschedule matches due to be played on Sunday until later in the season, leaving just one match played.

By the end of July, I will be leaving Essex, and relocating to Northumberland. As a result the NECL will require a Results Secretary for the 2020 season.

I am prepared to continue to the end of 2019 season, as most of the work can be done remotely.

However, for 2020 it would be better if someone more local could take on the job. Results Secretary involves collating the results on a weekly basis, updating league tables and publishing them on the website. To oversee the fixture creation for the following season. To maintain the League Play-Cricket website and ensure that fixtures and results are uploaded to Play-Cricket and request corrections when needed. To produce the end of season averages.
To be aware of the rules of the competition, and keep a record of any fines accrued by each club, with invoice to be prepared for the AGM.

The weekly roundup is also up for grabs for any potential journo, although not a pre-requisite of the Results Secretary. All you need is a relatively good sense of humour, detail for cricket statistics (the better a Play-Cricket scorecard is completed the more in depth report can be produced) ,on occasions a sense of diplomacy and a genuine love of local cricket.

If anyone is interested please get in touch in the first instance with myself at

Kevin Hewes
(Results Secretary)

It has been brought to the attention of the League Committee that there have been a couple of occurences already this season where when a match has been conceded, the standing neutral umpires have not been notified, and have subsequently turned up to the ground on a wasted journey !

If a game is conceded can the home side please contact Umpires as a priority, if the away side has conceded it would be courteous for them to also make the umpire(s) aware.

Any failure to do this going forward this season, will result in the home side having to pay the standing Umpire(s) any wasted expenses.
