Greater Manchester Cricket League: Preparations well underway ahead of 2022 campaign

The cricket season is three months away but clubs all around the area are preparing for the new campaign.

Groundsmen are busy; indoor nets are in swing and thoughts are turning to the season ahead.  The GMCL held its AGM at Milnrow on Sunday and representatives from clubs around the League heard presentations from Board Members. Chairman, Martin Kay, noted that the League’s progress towards Premier League status was progressing well, and a positive decision from the ECB is expected in the near future. The League has published a document ‘Taking the Next Steps’ which looks to the future and reviews the structure, roles and tasks that are required in order to continue the League's development and improvement in the coming seasons.  Given the size of the League there was a plea for volunteers to contribute to the administration of the competition.
