As expected, several rule changes for this season’s Julian Cup have been adopted following the competition's recent AGM. However, the group phase format worked well in the plate competition and that will be maintained for the 2023 competition. Plate competition semi-finals will be held at the clubs who’ve finished highest in the league stage. W Teams are also gearing up for the start of the Thames Valley Cricket League and Home Counties Cricket League seasons, which both get underway on Saturday, May 6. In the Home Counties competition, Slough host Wargrave on the opening day, while Datchet face a tricky opener at Finchampstead CC.
