The @SussexCricketLg is now complete, I stood every week. Today both teams were playing for pride with their positions set before the match started. It was an enjoyable day and I had the pleasure of standing with a new colleague more experience than myself – another learning day

I managed to get one pre-season match (out of 3). As with over half the matches in Sussex my Cup match was postponed. I was glad I was informed on Friday evening which gave me a chance to watch my club's 1st league match of the season. Come on the Sun.☀️

I got the phone call that my match had fallen to the rain. I had just made it out of the door, but hadn't closed it when the call came. Not sure if many matches will be completed in Sussex today. (60% already confirmed as off)

Unfortunately, my match fell foul to the weather again. 0 out of 3 match days so far. Can I make it 1 out of 4 with a rearranged Cup on Sunday?

I managed to get a match in at the 4th attempt. 1. Had wet area in the outfield. It was marked out & treated as a tree 2. Batter didn't put his bat past the crease: one run short 3. Has to remind a batter to stay off the protected area when running: he was ball watching!

Had a simple weekend. Just one league match which finished early. 1st Inn the team bowled their 45 overs quickly, 2h25 (25 min early!) One plumb LBW torker and also a batter stood on his stumps on all three. 150 target was chased in 31 overs, in 1h45. All very well behaved.
