Page 01 www.saxcricket.co.uk The Chairman’s Introduction

By the time our fixture booklet is read by you it will have been over a year since the first national lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. Understandably the 2020 season was basically declared null and void in what became a most surrealistic summer. My proposed ‘Introduction’ last year was to celebrate promotion to Division 7 of The Two Counties League and Nationally to ’s Men for winning their 1st Cricket World Cup - in such dramatic fashion. Although a 2-2 series draw against the Aussies did not ensure a return of The Ashes it was a commendable performance. I was fortunate enough to be at Headingley on August Bank Holiday 2019 with Ben Stokes the hero and Jack Leach is un/willing accomplice. 38 years earlier it had been Botham / Willis I watched lead England to victory against the same opposition from a seemingly impossible position. Little did I think I would witness the like again! 2020 became a year to forget!!! At the time of writing the country is still in trepidation as to exactly how close to schedule the Governments ‘Roadmap’ will unfold. Our club are making the usual preparations for the start of a new season. Various fees- to The League, The County, our Insurers etc have to be met. Our much delayed AGM will be one with a difference as our officers and committee will be elected ‘virtually ‘. After another exceptionally wet Autumn/Winter has given way to some uncharacteristic snowfall the recent spring like weather should remind us that the sound of bat on ball is not far away and maybe the cricket square has had its first gentle roll. A further ritual now begins of finding and encouraging new players to the Club to add to our existing squad. Once again can I thank Barnes Print (EA) Ltd for their excellent publication and for all those who have advertised with and supported the cricket section. Running a business can be tough and hard work with long hours. This is taken on board as part and parcel of the job. You then throw Covid-19 on top of this with its resulting lockdowns and furlough’s and the worry over your own and loved ones health and it just seems too unfair and too unjust. I will end my piece by once again thanking Lewis our groundsman for the past 29 years and to Elizabeth and Neil for their invaluable and enthusiastic support. Can I also thank Gary for skippering the side and to Parry who has now stepped down as Treasurer. Thankyou Everyone Graham www.saxcricket.co.uk Page 02 Proud Official Sponsor of Saxmundham Sports Cricket Club
