Empingham Exiles CC Sorry to hear this lads 😔

Empingham Exiles CC Sad news for cricket!! All the best guys!! If you are struggling for places to net please let us know, we will be starting indoor very soon and have space. #keeplocalcricketalive

As per Facebook, with heavy hearts the players of Empingham CC will not be playing cricket at Exton Road in 2019. This decision has not been taken lightly & is the build up of a number of reasons. We would like to thank all of the wonderful people we have met over the years! 🏏

So sad to hear #extonroadarmy

Empingham Exiles CC This is sad news. Exton Road hasn't been a happy hunting ground for us in recent years but we've always had decent, hard games of cricket. Let's hope that common sense can prevail. All the best to all the Empingham players, whatever they choose to do, from all @ STCC

In the interest of balance, the Empingham Social Club committee’s response in this week’s Stamford Mercury Delighted to hear they are now focused on sustaining cricket in the village & wish them the best of luck

Some friendly fixtures organised for 2019 already. Thanks to all the #cricketfamily for their generous offers. Anybody else keen to give us a game, get in touch! We have lots of drinking money to put behind your bar 🍻 Time to put the fun back into our cricket 🏏 #LocalCricket

We’re still looking for teams for our sports quiz on Sunday 16 December. It should be a fun night in the The Bertie Arms - Who fancies entering a team? Burghley Park CC Empingham Exiles CC Stamford Town CC Stamford AFC Stamford Rugby @fcblackstones ?

Empingham Exiles CC I’m sure we could host a game against you Bourne Cricket Club but too early to offer anything until we’ve confirmed Rutland league and women’s league matches. Let’s stay in touch ...

Things at England and Wales Cricket Board need to change to plan for the next 20 years. Take control of all League cricket giving levels of how leagues operate to cut down on travel and the monumental waste of money trying to get promoted. Development has been lost. More to follow #lifeblood

in which case, why did you, including Robin Vitas and Cristian Durant, say NO to our compromise of a shared committee to end the division in our community and see the return of 70 local youth and juniors (male and female)? Ketton News Rutland League @leicscricket Leics & Rutland CL
