Unfortunately, as per the note below, we have been informed that there will be no T Rippon league cricket for the 2020 season. However, as soon as allowed to, we will look to arrange friendly fixtures in a safe environment so that at least some cricket can be played this year.
From League Secretary:
Further to our previous statement issued at the beginning of May and after further consultation and in consideration to the recent ECB Roadmap issued, T-Rippon League Committee have made the difficult decision to call time on any plans to get League play underway this season.
Whilst this is obviously disappointing for everyone it was agreed at an Essex Adult Participation Group meeting that all leagues would give clubs a minimum of 2 weeks notice to start play. Unfortunately we are unable to do this and get the half season in play by 4th July so have decided to give clubs a clear line and void the season with immediate effect.
We felt that giving clubs a final decision will allow you all to make plans for the remainder of 2020 dependant step 4 and 5 of the ECB Roadmap and individual club situations. The indication is that ‘normal’ format cricket is still some way off, if at all this summer, and it seemed fruitless us keeping you all on hold waiting for decisions or movements. It will also allow any CWO’s to ‘catch up’ on missed courses in preparation for 2021 season.
