Ramsey CC launch tough Premier Division campaign and a new signing for Peterborough Town
Ramsey Town open their East Anglian Premier Division campaign with a home game against Sudbury at Cricketfield Lane on Saturday (11am).
‘The Rams’ were promoted after winning Cambs Division One last season, and then by winning a play-off competition.
Ramsey have signed Sri Lankan all-rounder Sandun Weerakkody as their overseas player. He has over 10,000 first class runs to his name and played three times for the Sri Lanka one day international side.
Market Deeping start life as a Lincs Championship South club at home to Moulton Harrox on Saturday (12.30pm).
Deeping were relegated from the Lincs Premier Division for the first time in their history last season and have lost many players as a result.
Orton Park are contesting the same division this season after winning a South Lincs Division One title in 2025. The city club have signed an overseas player in South African Adrian van der Westhuyzen.
They have also signed leg-spinning all-rounder Charlie Crisp from Long Sutton and all-rounder Mikey Atkinson from Billingborough. Connor Parnell will skipper the side. Orton Park start at home to Boston on Saturday.
Castor CC first XI will be competing in Division One South after their Division Two title win last summer. They will be running two teams this season after running just one last term. The seconds are in Division Three South.
The combined Hunts and Beds Ladies team host Cornwell in Division 2A of the Vitality Blast Women’s League in two T20 matches on Sunday starting at 11.00am and 3.00pm at Orton Park CC.
Peterborough Town don't play any competitive cricket until the start of May. They have a friendly against the Northants Academy at Bretton Gate on Saturday (11am).
Town have signed left arm seamer Jaskaran Singh from Northants League rivals Kettering Town to replace pro Hayatullah Niazi who has remained in his native Norway after one disappointing season in the city. Singh took 28 wickets for a team who were relegated from the Premier Division last season.
