*******RAIN DELAY FOR WEDNESDAY AUGUST 23, 2017 AND LATER MATCHES*******
All matches are pushed back 2 hours and we are not starting before noon today due to heavy rain at the Germantown Cricket Club last night. therefore if you had a 10:15am match, it will play at 12:15pm. As we get later in the day, it may be possible to put some of the matches on closer to their original start time, so please try to be at Germantown AN HOUR EARLIER!
