This year we sadly lost SCCL legend Craig Simms. We felt that to honour his memory, we and @shropshireaco would create a "Craig Simms Scorer of the Year Award"
The panel umpires have voted and
we are pleased to award this to @WemCricketClub's Mary Logan
Congratulations Mary
๐๐ We've been catching up with our Volunteer of the Month award winners for May, June and July. Congratulations to all worthy these winners. Still time to nominate this season!

Today we say goodbye to an SCCL and @MadeleyCC legend, Craig Simms.
The work that Craig did for both league and club is quite truly amazing, but more importantly we will miss his sharp wit and humour!
RIP Simmsy
In memory of Simmsy (Tex), hereโs a picture of the teams at Deddington, in 1986 I think. Simmsy front row, left hand side, thatโs how I always remember him, that jumper, that tache, that hair! @MadeleyCC#calmdown
Following the awful news earlier in the week, our thoughts are with all of Craigโs family, friends and team mates at @MadeleyCC โค๏ธ
Thank you to @StGeorgesCrick1 and the supporters who joined Wem CC and umpires, Dave and Paul, in respecting a 2 minutes silence to remember Craig๐
After the match there will be live music, with Steve Best performing, starting at 7pm until late. Entry for this is free for members, and ยฃ2 for non-members๐๏ธ
Give this post a like and a share, and letโs get a great turn-out for Simmsy๐
@ShropCCLeague@CricketShrops
Join us on Sunday 24th August as an over-30 side takes on an under-30 side in a 40-over match๐
Having initially being a fundraising match, we felt that it was an appropriate opportunity to instead hold a memorial game, celebrating the life of Craig Simms
love for football, and in particular, Leicester City๐ฆWe look forward to seeing a colourful variety of shirts!๐
It will be good to see friends, ex-colleagueโs, ex-players, current players, and family at the club for this event, to celebrate such an influential personโs lifeโค๏ธ
Whilst fulfilling many of the jobs which often go unnoticed in cricket, Craig always made sure everyone was greeted with warmth, a smile & some fantastic banter.
Craig will be deeply missed by everyone, not just at the club & across the whole of Shropshire cricket.
Madeley Cricket Club are absolutely devastated to announce that our friend Craig Simms has unfortunately passed away yesterday.
Craig was a hugely popular and well loved man, not just across the club but throughout the whole cricketing community.
It is with great sadness that the SCCL have to report the following
