Like a cuddly dormouse awakening from its winter slumbers, thebladescc.org makes a return to life and to your inbox.

The 2017 Fixtures are out, and for your chance to be part of the magic, click HERE and register your availability for this season’s Cricktacular summer.

And as is traditional, we would like you to get your friends, neighbours, cousins, colleagues, postmen, welldiggers, any one you know who fancies a game and knows one end of a cricket bat from the other (not compulsory, this training will be given on arrival) – get them signed up as a Blade (not the Sheffield United version)

Here’s looking forward to a great summer
