May 3rd, 2025: mark your calendars because the new season is just 137 days away. With the days starting to stretch out, it feels like we’ll be back in the thick of it before you know it, braving early-season sleet with cold hands and high hopes.
This year promises something special with a brand-new league format. Home-and-away fixtures are back, doubling the drama, the joy, and, let’s face it, the despair.
The Fixtures
The First XI open their campaign with a blockbuster away at Longparish. Expect fierce competition, tactical battles, and—this being May—a strong chance of getting soaked.
The Twos begin their season against the chairman’s hometown club. The stakes? Personal pride, bragging rights, and a reception colder than a February training session.
The Third XI find themselves in a wonderfully chaotic league. Think newbies finding their feet, veterans defying age and gravity, and the occasional superstar who looks like they’ve wandered in from a different cricketing planet.
Expect Everything
Rain, sunshine, heroics, heartbreak, and a fair share of calamities—this season has it all. From last-minute victories to forgotten covers, cricket’s melting pot of triumph and disaster will be in full swing.
The rollercoaster begins now. So buckle up, dust off your whites, and get ready for a season that promises to be as unpredictable as the British weather.
