Match Managers would love to hear from you with your requests to play, but if you are contacted, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, CAN YOU RESPOND PROMPTLY.  There are any number of ways to give this - the easiest being a reply to the original message sent, but you could make brief phone call, or send a SMS. A “YES” would be gratefully welcomed and generate further contact from the Match Manager, but a simple “NO” would be sufficient!

You could alternatively record your availability on the Club website (log in using your username and password – Match Availability in drop-down menu, top right under your name).

We welcome new players to participate in our games - please do invite others to join in. The onward success and prosperity of the Cryptics CC is dependent on recruiting new members to support our excellent fixtures list.

Let’s finish the season with a flourish of good cricket matches and some wins!

Many thanks for your support.

Our very best wishes,

The Committee
