September 2020

The 2020 BDCL season is over! It has been challenging at time, difficult at times, trying at times and unusual at times.

The LMC would like to thank all those that participated this year – all the players, officials, ground staff, scorers and all the volunteers that work endlessly behind the scenes.

In total there have been 375 games played. The reduced League format has been extremely competitive with many Sub-Divisional winners not known until the final week. New rules have been played and Duckworth/Lewis used for the first time.

The final weekend of fixtures decided the overall Divisional winners and Congratulations goes to Welbeck (Championship), Bawtry (Division 1), Retford (Division 2), Shirebrook (Division 3), Misterton (Division 4) and Langwith (Division 5).
