Essex v Lincs, Minor Counties Quarter-Final - 19 May
The Essex-Lincs Minor Counties Quarter-Final will take place at Yaxley, Cambridgeshire, on Saturday 19th May. The playing session will be 4½ hours with the same rate of play as in the SCCU events and a 1.30 p.m. start (analogue clocks).
NB: In the Minor Counties the average grade of the team has to be under 180 which means that any Essex player can play in this event, so U180s, U160s and U140s in particular (none of their teams having qualified) are invited to offer their services.
Playing in the Minor Counties event is a new experience for Essex, as is, we believe, a match against Lincolnshire.
In last year's event Lincolnshire beat Norfolk in the quarter final: Lincs-Norfolk and then lost in Herts in the semi final: Lincs-Herts.
Should we progress in this event then the dates to bear in mind are :-
Semi final - 9 June (Leicestershire or Cambridgeshire)
Final - 7 July (Leicester)
