Devastating news about the passing of Vince Lindo. Local cricket will be poorer without him involved. I will work on a tribute to the great man over the weekend and post on Monday. Hopefully I can do him justice. RIP Vince.

- Really proud that the @Sotlive cricket coverage has been commended in the national ECB Cricket Journalism Awards in the Regional Newspaper of the Year category. Congratulations to all the winners.
- 'Cricket in Staffordshire just won't be the same again'. Tributes are paid to much-loved former player and umpire Vince Lindo.
- Fantastic - and emotional - to speak to @LouisWasho about his cancer journey. From diagnosis to gruelling treatment, being given the all-clear and returning to play for @Knypersleycc.
- No cricket news or features from me now for three weeks - been furloughed today. Had plenty of stuff lined up, but will pick all those stories up at a later date (hopefully)! Stay safe - and we'll get through this!
- .@AlsagerCC's Jeff Maynard plays his final game tomorrow in a career which also took in @NantwichCC, @Elworthcc, @woodlanecc and Crewe RR. Big thanks to @reverse_sweeper for his help with the feature!
- The end of another season. Many thanks to everyone who took time to speak to me and also those who read the content. I’m already thinking about plans for 2021. Please feel free to comment on what you enjoyed and what you think we could do more of or do better.
- .@smashthetash organisers hand over bumper cheque to NHS after extraordinary fundraising challenge. Unbelievable work from @barks18, @6680Edwards, @fairbrass14 and @Amy_Furnival - and everyone in the cricket community.
- Not picked up a bat for 10 yrs but hit some exquisite cover drives playing in garden. That'll teach my 2yr old not to bowl half volleys...
- Really pleased to say there will be a @Sotlive pre-season cricket supplement this year. Aiming for 40 pages. Date to be confirmed. 🏏🏏🏏
