NSCCA 2026–27 Season Update

The 2026–27 cricket season is fast approaching, and there are still a number of important matters to be finalised before the season can get underway.

New Bylaws

The new NSCCA bylaws were published on Friday and are now available on the NSCCA website, NSCCA.info. These bylaws were submitted to, considered by, and subsequently approved by the clubs. All club presidents will have a copy.

Grading and Team Numbers

The Grading Committee has been working over the past few weeks, using the information available to develop a competition structure that is both fair and competitive.

A few days ago, there were 76 teams representing 18 clubs. This provided a structure of seven grades containing eight teams, plus two grades containing ten teams.

Unfortunately, one team has since withdrawn, which is something that unfortunately occurs almost every season. This now creates an opportunity for another team to enter the competition.

An odd number of teams creates an additional issue, as it means that at least one grade will have a bye each week. If there is a club that believes it may be able to enter an additional team, please contact Grant Manzoney or Trevor Kearsley as soon as possible.

Similarly, if any club is not 100% certain that it will be able to field its existing teams every week, it is important that Grant or Trevor are contacted immediately. It is far better to identify any potential problems now rather than after the fixtures have been prepared.

Fixtures and Grounds

The season is scheduled to commence on Saturday, October 3rd. At this stage, it appears that there may be a double-header required somewhere within the competition structure.

Before the fixtures can be prepared, all team numbers, grades and ground allocations need to be confirmed. Once these details are finalised, the fixtures can then be drawn up.

Final Preparations

As is often the case with cricket administration, many of the final details will inevitably come together in the lead-up to the opening round. However, the sooner any potential issues are identified, the easier it will be to resolve them without affecting the competition.

If your club has any questions, concerns or issues that may affect the coming season, please contact your Club President at your earliest convenience so that they can be addressed promptly.

With the season now only a few weeks away, everyone's cooperation will be important in ensuring that we are ready to start the 2026–27 season on October 3rd.

Mason Rollo is doing great in the North East of England. He’s playing for Brandon Cricket Club in the Durham association.

He’s ranked number 4 in the association, with a fantastic amount of 773 runs.

Hopefully, these little items show our young players that when our season ends in March, it is possible to get a chance of playing overseas, and getting paid for it.

When Mason and Brodie return, it would be interesting to get their feedback on their adventure.

Personally, I’m chuffed these lads are doing so well. They are representing our association also.

Has anyone got any news on Mason Rollo, or anyone else from the NSCCA are doing overseas.

I hope people realise we support them all. I can’t give them a mention if nobody tells me.

These are a couple of interesting facts for us to consider regarding Brodies season, so far.

In the Hertfordshire Cricket Competitions there are some 250 teams. Brodie plays for Chipperfield Cricket Club. He is ranked number 1 in runs scored with 867 runs scored this season, with 3 games still to go. He is hoping to achieve 1000 for the season.

Please wish him well on his attempt.

Also, please find the Hertfordshire Cricket batting stats as of today,
