Graces lose by 5 wickets in the frozen curtain raiser – We like this pic of all-rounder Manish!

Hi cricket lovers – just to update you with what is happening the world of Graces.

First of all we have exciting news as we are joined by the Unicorns CC as the world’s second LGBT+ cricket club – they are Birmingham based and we’ll try to get a game with them. We’ll share more information about them shortly.

Our fixtures are progressing as we make our debut in the Chess Valley League. We will also have some friendlies as well as a weekend tour.

We have been in discussions with the ECB and Middlesex CCC for some exciting publicity opportunities – more details soon.

We have managed to get sponsorship with Sterling and are now using Gray Nicholls as kit suppliers – check out the picture – you should be able to order your very own Graces kit!

Obviously it’s all dependent on the pandemic situation – please check our website for updates

So finally recreational cricket has been given the go-ahead. The plan is to keep our friendly fixtures as planned and perhaps to play our league games as friendlies. We’ll also look at playing on Saturdays too. Watch this space!

Our first game is against Chingford CC Sunday 12th July – visitors welcome!

Well done to our super skipper Manish for a great interview with Middlesex  CCC for Pride Month

With the current Covid situation cricket has understandably taken a backseat – fingers crossed we get some games in!
