Return to cricket - Step 3 (including changes to junior training times)

As things continue to move towards normality from Monday (17th May), coupled with the start of our junior fixtures, we are making you aware of a few changes we are able to make now further restrictions will be lifted...

Spectators: We can now welcome spectators to Boundary Meadow, even without taking hospitality. Spectators are now free to sit and watch the games in front of the clubhouse and around the boundary. Spectators can now also bring their own foldaway chairs to games.

The Bar: The bar can now welcome and serve customers indoors again, with tables indoors limited to groups of 6 or two households. Chairs and tables will be arranged inside the clubhouse to accommodate this, please do not move tables from their set locations.  

Changing Rooms: Under ECB guidelines we are now in a position to re-open changing rooms. However the committee feel that due to the lack of opening windows in the changing block we should allow access to the changing rooms for senior fixtures ONLY at present. Senior players should, where possible, limit the amount of players accessing the changing rooms at any one time. 

Senior Cricket Teas: Although the ECB guidance now allows teas to be provided, the Palace Shield took the decision that they would not expect clubs to serve teas this season. Therefore all senior players and visiting teams are still expected to provide their own food for the interval. 

Junior Training Changes: The committee feels we can’t fully move to the “big junior Friday nights” just yet. However to help accommodate junior fixtures the Under 9 & Under 11 Softball groups, plus the Under 16’s (who don’t play regular senior cricket) will all move from Wednesday night training, to join alongside the Girls Hardball group on a Friday nights. Training time's will remain the same to help the flow of the car park. Under 11 Hardball and Under 13 Hardball will remain training on Monday Nights for the time being.

Monday's
Under 11 Hardball & Under 13 Hardball 6.30pm - 8pm

Friday's
Under 9 Softball & Under 11 Softball 6pm - 7.30pm
Under 16's Hardball 6.30pm - 8pm
Girls Hardball 6.30pm - 8pm

Junior Fixtures: Are now available to view on the club website either by team https://www.torrisholmecc.co.uk/junior-fixtures/2021 or you can see our full schedule of all junior and senior fixtures via the calendar page https://www.torrisholmecc.co.uk/calendar 

Junior Matches: Junior players arriving for junior matches (home and away teams) should still use the cordoned off ‘team zones’ beside the netting bay, as per Step 2. 

PLEASE NOTE: The above updates maybe unique to Torrisholme CC and players and parents are reminded that restrictions may be different at other clubs we visit.
