Official recognition of Joe's 50+ years of volunteering is richly deserved.

What does this mean?

What will the Premier League's "own inclusion campaign to coincide with LGBTQ+ History Month" look like? What will its focus be? What is expected of clubs? Will they be obliged to participate in the initiative? Will players/clubs be allowed to opt in to support Rainbow Laces?

We need one more team to take part in this event.

Each team will play three short games during the day.

We have a mixed-gender, entry-level, pro-disability softball team... but unfortunately we also have several weeks without fixtures.

Are there any teams in the North-West who would like to play us in a friendly game? We're happy to travel.

We urgently need new players.

If you'd like to play cricket for us, or even just try out the game for the first time, all you need to do is show up for training at Wavertree Cricket Club on a Wednesday at 8pm.

All ages and abilities welcome.

Agreed that the situation is not "good for cricket" - but we may disagree on exactly what the problem was/is.
