With the first games of the 2017 season only four weeks away (and with some schools matches before that), there have been some queries as to why fixtures for the season are not yet on our website.
The changing nature of cricket in Ireland means that fixtures are made much later in the winter than used to be the case. With Ireland's international program rarely being finalised until Christmas, Leinster Lightning fixtures are slotted in afterwards, with clubs not starting to make their fixtures until towards the end of January.
The current situation with the various sections is as follows:
Open Competitions - Fixtures are now complete. Open Competitions Committee is finalising start times for 2017 competitions. Once that is done, fixtures will be added to the site on March 23 at the latest, but hopefully before that.
Women's Competitions - Clubs are still completing fixtures for Divisions 2 and 3. As long as they are completed shortly, the women's fixtures will be added at the same time as those for Open Competitions.
Youth Competitions - Very few fixtures have yet been made and fixtures may not be available on the site until towards the end of April.
Many thanks for your patience.
