East Devon cricketers will be competing this summer in the very first local T20 tournament, commencing in June.
With recreational sport still in lockdown, it is not yet known whether the Devon Cricket League will be operating a full programme or tiered mini-leagues as with last season.

NOmatter how good a cricketer you are – or think you are – cricket has a way of bringing you down to earth.

AlthoughI was a better footballer than cricketer, cricket was my number one passion as a young man. Not just playing the game but watching it as well.

YOU won't find a more quintessential cricket ground than Uplyme's. The village church stands high above the ground, a stream trickles silently around the field and the pub is within staggering distance.

Local cricketers could be playing in a new 20-20 midweek tournament next season.
The idea was revealed this week at the annual general meeting on Uplyme and Lyme Regis Cricket Club, one of the most exciting local sides whose talents suit the 20-over format of the sport.
THREE consecutive centuries by Uplyme & Lyme Regis all-rounder Tyler Wellman, a feat unknown in local recreational cricketing circles, clinched the Nub News Sport top ten batting award.
Tyler topped the top ten batting list with a 353 runs scored during the Devon mini-league games and wins £125 for his club and a trophy to mark his achievement.
WATCHED by a crowd of more than 200, Uplyme and Lyme Regis crowned a glorious covid-affected season with a convincing nine-wicket victory over Plymouth CS & Roborough to win the Devon Mini-League Tier 5 final.
It was the biggest crowd ever seen for a cricket match at the King George V playing field and brought to a close a season in which Uplyme – formed in 1886 but which nearly went out of existence two years ago – have produced the most exciting cricket seen in the club's long history.
KILMINGTON failed by just 13 runs to win the Devon Mini-League Tier 3 final against Stoke Gabriel.
Batting first Stoke posted 219 for 7 from their 40 overs with S. Ansley (79), A. Kanwar (37) and M. Meech (27) top scoring.
THIS has certainly been a season to remember for Uplyme and Lyme Regis Cricket Club and after their final league match on Saturday they are hoping to have something to really celebrate.
A big crowd is expected at the King George V playing field in the afternoon when Uplyme meeting Plymouth Civil Service in one of the Devon Cricket Mini-Leagues finals having gone unbeaten in the six matches that got them to the play-offs.
