Chiba Sharks Cricket Club
Appreciation goes to our first umpiring pair of the year, Thurgates Marcus and Chris. They took the long ride up to SICG to watch the teams valiantly try to soak up a lake with a couple of sponges but it wasn’t to be. Match cancelled. Many thanks anyway guys. [Anton]
The 2020 Season struggled to get going in the rain today. Fortunately we weren’t playing as some games were washed out. However recent rises in Tokyo Covid numbers means cricket is suspended again. We have to be patient. [Anton]
Word on the grapevine is that the Japanese Cricket Season will start again around the beginning of July. The season will be slightly reduced (as will JA fees) but we should still be able to get a lot of games in. Confirmation coming soon. [Anton]
The Coronavirus continues to cause upheaval and cricket is not immune. In the interests of everyone’s health the JCA has cancelled/postponed all matches in April. We’ll get a May update in a few weeks time. [Anton]
Due to concerns over any kind of large gatherings in the coronavirus outbreak we have decided to cancel our T20 friendlies with the Tokyo Rhinos on the 29th March. Hopefully the regular season will still go ahead but we’ve had no news as yet. [Anton]
