Hopes high that cricket season will start as normal
There’s increasing optimism that both Falkland and Freuchie cricket clubs will begin their new seasons as scheduled.
As a largely summer sport, the recent announcement from the Scottish Government about the gradual easing of lockdown from April should, hopefully, enable the respective league campaigns to start as planned.
Gus Mackay, chief executive of Cricket Scotland, said: “The Scottish Government has stated their intention for the level system (0 to 4) to return at the end of April, subject to the evolution of the virus.
"This should allow for some sport to be played close the traditional start date for the cricket season, albeit probably under some restrictions.”
