We are on tour in Devon this weekend, looking forward to our matches against @harbertoncrick2 East Prawle CC & @BudleighCC

[Strongroom Cricket Club @StrongroomCC]

After already 4 cancellations this season due to bad weather, forecast is looking promising for Saturday's clash against @ChumpshireCC at Highgate Woods!

[Strongroom Cricket Club @StrongroomCC]

First match of the season against @londonfieldscc this Sunday away in Hackney! #villagecricket

[England's Barmy Army 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🎺 @TheBarmyArmy]

There are 5 more Mondays until the start of the club cricket season in the UK.

That is all.

Great to be playing #cricket again Strongroom posting a good 150 against the Lankans. Great bowling saw #strongroomcc winning by 95 runs! 👌🏏😁

Bowling was impressive after 4… https://t.co/8waYxaotE3

Literally made me day. In fact, the last 102 days of lockdown 🏏🏏🥰🥰 @ECB_cricket #Cricket #highgatewood #strongroom #lockdownuk

[England and Wales Cricket Board @ECB_cricket]

We are delighted that the UK Government have given their permission for recreational cricket to return from next weekend. We will shortly be publishing our approved guidelines to help clubs and players prepare for cricket's return.

Wrote out a few notes to deliver to the neighbours. Lets hope they check their mail between now and 6am tomorrow. FYI if you live in Mangere/Favona and hear a trumpet playing The Last Post at dawn - its just my old man. 🎺 #StandAtDawn #LestWeForget

[Strongroom Cricket Club @StrongroomCC]

close game, down to the final over! Special thanks to Tim for the commentatary and to Pacific for our first #virtualcricket match! Look forward to meeting on the real Wray Cresent pitch in the not to distance summer! #covidcricket #Lockdown

[Pacific Cricket Club @PacificCricket]

FOUR! FOUR! PCC win by four wickets as @Tom_J_Ireland smashes consecutive boundaries off the first two balls of the final over to finish the game. Another last over thriller masterfully commentated by @iamtherealtim - #covidcricket at its finest. Thanks to @StrongroomCC!

[Pacific Cricket Club @PacificCricket]

9 needed from the final twelve balls. 8 for a super over. #covidcricket

[Pacific Cricket Club @PacificCricket]

5 needed from the last. Ireland and Soden seem calm but turning down singles at this stage seems a strange option. Gower to bowl the final over.

[Strongroom Cricket Club @StrongroomCC]

another one behind the wicket! @Dan_Rah takes another one, great length from Gohdi and @PacificCricket needing run a ball

[Pacific Cricket Club @PacificCricket]

WICKET! Siddiqui feathers behind off the parsimonious bowling of Godhi for 13. Soden the next man in with 40 needed off the last six. Ashraf being brought back on which feels a bold captaincy choice when his first five overs went for 36. 164-6, @StrongroomCC now favourites

[Strongroom Cricket Club @StrongroomCC]

plenty of banter on and off the field here. @PacificCricket have really lifted their game since that one time they dropped 14 catches in one match #covidcricket #almostasgoodastherealthing

[Strongroom Cricket Club @StrongroomCC]

could be heading for the dreaded Superover 😑 #superover #covidcricket #notagain

[Pacific Cricket Club @PacificCricket]

Ten overs to go and PCC are 144-5, 60 required for the win from the final ten overs. A close finish beckons.

[Strongroom Cricket Club @StrongroomCC]

Another take for keeper @Dan_Rah two quick wickets arresting the flow of runs for @PacificCricket 144/5 30 overs

[Pacific Cricket Club @PacificCricket]

WICKET! another catch behind, another middle order collapse as Sharma goes for 32, getting a top edge to an attempted pull. 140-5 with 64 needed from the remaining 11 overs and two balls.

[Strongroom Cricket Club @StrongroomCC]

Strongroom lost three quick wickets during this part of their innings. @PacificCricket will be hoping their batters fear better. #COVIDcricket

[Strongroom Cricket Club @StrongroomCC]

great form here from @PacificCricket batsman Sharma all the way to the boundary for four #covidcricket #strongroom

[Strongroom Cricket Club @StrongroomCC]

nice shot there and boundary with Rich Woolhouse unable to chase this one down 115/3 23 overs

[Strongroom Cricket Club @StrongroomCC]

100 up for @PacificCricket Vinay coming back into the attack
