WELCOME TO TWCC

'...no mean contender for the most delectable English cricket ground'

LATEST NEWS

The wait is over!

As of Saturday 11 July, competitive 11-a-side cricket matches can take place – as well as training – with adaptations in place to mitigate the transmission risk of COVID-19.

In summary, TWCC can confirm that adult cricket fixtures will start this Saturday, youth training will begin on Wednesday 15 July, and some youth matches will take place from Sunday 19 July. 

​

The Committee has spent considerable time working on this plan. We have consulted widely, in the cricket world with the ECB and KCB, and lobbied our local MP.

​

A summary of the adaptations is listed below:

• Individuals should undergo a personal symptom check prior to all activity and not take part if they demonstrate any COVID-19 symptoms.

• All groups limited to a maximum of 30 people, including coaches and officials.

• All activity should include regular hygiene breaks for participants' hands and the ball.

• TWCC will keep a record of attendees at a match/session, including contact details, to support NHS Test and Trace.

• Players should remain socially distanced at all times (wicketkeepers and slip fielders at 1m+).

• Players should minimise handling of the ball in all activity, by limiting contact as it makes its way back to the bowler; no sweat or saliva should be added to the ball at any time.
