Willow Fixtures/Results - 2026

Full rules explained

Below is the list of fixtures for the 2026 season.

League websitre administration - Dan (Casuals) will continue for the 2026 season, and wind down in 2027. Ally (Cavailiers) will begin copying fixtures and results into Play-Cricket for 2026 and provide a review of how that went at the end of season review meeting. The target being the Casuals hosting of the Willow website with Dan administering will come to an end in 2027.

Should any changes be required with fixtures - it is down to teams concerned to make alternative arrangements. If this happens please email/ text/WhatsApp Dan dan@cardiffcasualscricket.co.uk (07725086385) (Ally Parkhirst - Cavaliers will copy to Play-Cricket) so both websites can be updated.

Result submissions

The result notification should be along the lines of - Team A 146-8 beat Team B 125 all out by 21 runs and who batted 1st. Similarly if the game is cancelled or rained off please state this.

This would be appreciated. Thanks

League Fixtures

Notes

The fixtures allow member teams to take part in 2 different competitions
1) a round robin league of 12 fixtures (20 overs; max 4 overs per bowler; batsmen retire at 50, but can come back in if the rest of the team is out - return in retirement order)
2) a cup knock-out (18 overs; max 2 overs per bowler and batsman retire at 25 runs- batsmen can come back in if the rest of the team is out - return in retirement order) - fielding restrictions (trial) - at least 3 fielders within the "inner field" position such as square leg, point, cover, mid on/off
3) - No shield/plate competition

Member clubs must abide with the fixtures communicated by the fixture secretary and published on the website. The exceptions are the Cup games which must be arranged between the respective clubs (home team to book).
