Such a shame, it’s one of the traditions that stands cricket apart from other sports.

Its part and parcel of local cricket plus some of the older umpires wouldn't survive without a cup of tea and a slice of cake
They can bring their own still!
Quick straw poll of the team I played for preferred no teas and a packed lunch, esp in smaller clubs where you sometimes have to organise the tea yourselves. Then turn up at other clubs who make the most basic of efforts.

Piers Morgan went bat shit over this on Gmb ...I agree... Our cricket is spot on as it is... Leave it be...
That’s how Brexit startedI think if it was put to a vote it would be close mind.
Only reason i play.Best part of the day!
Best reason to bowl first (thus speaks a bowler)Best part of the day!
Medomsle CC as far back as the early 80's in their NEDL days had a policy of bringing tea for two.Informing players what to bring such as pies,cakes,sandwiches etc.Worked well as no outlay other than milk and teabags and no pressure to find helpers or tea ladiesIt was miles better this year just bringing your own IMO
I played the final season for Sunderland Hospitals in the NEDL and they did the same - worked pretty well to be fair.Medomsle CC as far back as the early 80's in their NEDL days had a policy of bringing tea for two.Informing players what to bring such as pies,cakes,sandwiches etc.Worked well as no outlay other than milk and teabags and no pressure to find helpers or tea ladies
I see the NEPL are now seeing whether or not players want to make bringing your own lunch the norm. I suspect that more will vote for than against, the traditionalist in me thinks it’ll be a real shame, guess we have to move with the times though and recognise that people are more time pressed these days. My main gripe about last season was not being able to get a cuppa, I’d hope provision is made for this if BYOT is made permanent.I think it worked great this year bringing your own tea. Fully appreciate the old tradition but the costs have spiralled and we genuinely see local kids not wanting to play as they either don't want to, or can't afford to shell out the fiver it tends to cost these days to play on a weekend. If they can bring their own thats one less thing that could potentially drive them away from the game.
Also saves a load of hassle finding volunteers to do them.
