Last Time Matches Tomorrow
Saturday 10th August is the final time matches of the year - from the 17th August we will be back to overs matches. There are also tweaks to start times, so please make sure to check play cricket.
Rule 15 comes into play next week
No member club shall, without the sanction of the Executive Committee made by 2.00 p.m. on the Wednesday prior to the date of a match, play any player in such match in any of the 2nd XI Divisions or below during the last four matches of any season of the Essex League who has played during that season in 9 or more matches for any member club or clubs in any higher divisions. The Member Club found to be in breach of the playing condition in a match shall take no points from that match. The opponent club in the match will take the points it actually achieved in the match.

Social media use and Live Streaming
We have had a large amount of issues to do with social media and live streaming this season. Both should be used to publicise your clubs in a positive light - if either are used for negative comments towards the opposition, officials or the league then disciplinary action will take place.
I hope the final month of the season we will have all clubs respecting each other more than we have had in recent weeks.
Against Violence and Discrimination
The ECB sent out the following email earlier this week.
We stand by the words of the ECB and ask that all clubs continue to act responsibly and safely over the weekend’s fixtures.
