Hi all,
Update below on the League Cup - although I am currently staring at yet more heavy rain falling. Again as advertised at the pre-season league meeting, if any clubs want to withdraw from the League Cup after this Saturday 29th then please let me know - there will be no penalty.
6 matches did get completed yesterday.
This means 7 teams (with Chingford who had a bye) go through to round 2, which means we can get three 2nd round matches organised for Saturday 29th.
We have tweaked the draw slightly (see the screengrab attached)
That means the list of fixtures for this coming Saturday are
Round 1
Ardleigh Green v Roding Valley
Billericay v Orsett
Frenford v Hawks
Gidea Park v Horndon
Hadleigh v Goresbrook
Harlow v Redbridge
Harlow Town v London Eagles
Harold Wood v Loughton
Hornchurch Athletic v Aztecs
Hutton v Oakfield Parkonians
Leigh on Sea v Benfleet
Old Brents v Newham
Shenfield v Epping
South Woodford v Upminster
Westcliff v Ilford
Wickford v Walthamstow
Woodford Wells v Wanstead
Round 2
Chelmsford v Neo
Brentwood v Belhus
Hornchurch v Chingford
No League Cup match - but still in comp and will need a friendly
Buckhurst Hill
Eliminated and in need of friendly
Springfield
Old Southendians
Bentley
Fives and Heronians
Colchester
Rainham
The changes will be sorted on Play Cricket soon.
For those clubs that require a friendly - please talk amongst yourselves and arrange matches that work for you. Where a cup match is arranged 2nd XI friendlies are also recommended, but it is up to clubs to organise and confirm the matches themselves.
Hopefully, we get some dry weather this week and some grounds have a chance to recover.
