Absolutely no chance any ground will be ready for next weekend. Anyone else agree? More rain forecast for this week.

Will take a good month to dry out I reckon.
 

I'm usually an eternal optimist in relation to getting games on but what I saw at our ground on Saturday made me feel as though our first game on April 21st was in doubt. And after today's deluge...
 
I'll be surprised if anything is fit before the end of April
 
Looking pretty much the same here for the S Yorkshire League.

We start on the 21St as well

Our Overseas is due to arrive this weekend

Yes mate - most clubs will have a game of some sorts this coming weekend or a mid week game planned as pre season. Could be a good chance people don’t play until 21/28 and not even have had a grass net yet.. be interesting to see which grounds get the first cricket in of the year!
 
Nepl and ntcl both to make decisions about 14th April in the next few days but both very likely to be cancelled. Seaham harbour possibly fielding a 3rd team in the nepl on Sunday’s.
 
Hearing nepl have asked all clubs to delay the start date. Not sure on exact details yet. Good move tho. 21st/28th will be a better shout weather depending.
 
The DCL facebook group is trying to get numbers together to postpone the first week - not sure when it is - my club havent had the roller out yet. Now way will we have a wicket ready

They were ringing around the clubs yesterday. At one stage, 13 out of 14 clubs had said yes to delaying.

Barring an unprecedented heatwave i think this is the only sane decision. It's a ludicrous thought that we could have a match before we've even managed an outdoor net.

2nd team. They have their first team in NEDCL division 1.
