The Devon & Exeter League have announced that the first games of the season will be held on Saturday, September 19th with a 3 pm kick-off.
In the Premier East Division three games will start the season: Beer Albion v Feniton 1sts, Dawlish United 1sts v Sidmouth Town 2nds (to be played on Dawlish Leisure Centre main pitch, Upottery 1sts v Kentisbeare 1sts.
Uplyme & Lyme Regis Cricket Club have been celebrating their success as the shortened season draws to a close.
Following a busy winter preparing the King George V field and making improvements to the clubhouse, cricket – like all sports – was struck by the coronavirus pandemic and it was uncertain whether there would be a 2020 season at all.
The first game back for Seaton Ladies was always going to be a tough one, especially as they were hosting Ottery Ladies, a team in the higher division.
The first half was evenly matched with Ottery winning a penalty which was calmly converted, putting the score at 1-0. That's how the score stayed until half time giving both managers the chance to speak to the teams.
KILMINGTON IN THE PLAY-OFFS DESPITE
ALTHOUGH they lost their last Devon Mini-League game by four wickets at Upottery on Saturday, the six points gained was enough to see Kilmington finish at the top of the East E 3 (Tier 3) division and a place in the play-offs.
LYME Regis 1st team continued their pre-season friendlies on Friday with a game against a club which plays at a higher standard.
Lyme started very brightly against the Chard Town 1st team playing up the slope in the first half but fell behind against the run of play in the 25th minute when a free kick was headed past Rob Harp from the penalty spot.
LAST week's high winds meant Lyme Regis Sailing Club's youth group could not go out to sea, so they took part in a theory lesson on dry land instead.
Instructors Jim Thomas and Simon Law talking the young sailors through rigging, points of sailing, the five essentials, tacking and gybing on shore and they then practised the basic knots which all sailors use.
THERE have been many feisty encounters between neighbours Lyme Regis and Uplyme - but last night's pre-season encounter for the Bass Bottle was up there among the most competitive.
Last season Uplyme, fielding the youngest team in the Perry Street League, struggled in Division One and it was a great credit to manager Stu Wooster for creating such a good team spirit and giving so many their first taste of men's football.
NUB NEWS TOP TEN BATSMEN AND BOWLERS
With just one week of the Devon Mini-League matches to go, it's all to play for in Axminster and Seaton Nub News Top Ten Batsmen and Bowlers.
UPLYME continued their pre-season programme of friendlies, this time against a very young and capable Perry Street Premier team Hawkchurch, running out 4-1 winners.
Uplyme went behind to a simple goal after a very bright start, but it's testament to this squad that they bounced back through Ben Prosser and then took the lead through Oli Alner debut goal at the back post from an excellent Prosser free-kick.

At Millwey Rise FC 's AGM prior to the 1967-68 season, secretary Dick Sturch reported that "although neither teams performance had been consistent during the previous season, it proved very successful in many other ways".
The team spirit shown by both teams never wavered and on behalf of the committee I thanked the players for their unfailing support throughout. The 1st X1 started the campaign well but unfortunately the pace proved too great and they fell away in the final games.
