Cricket games postponed after Covid-19 case

Cricket matches involving Uppermill and Saddleworth this weekend have been postponed as a precautionary measure after a positive Covid-19 case.

Uppermill Cricket Club took the decision to postpone their first team clash with Micklehurst on Saturday and second team game against Flowery Field's third team on Sunday. 

It came after a club member tested positive for coronavirus, with the person understood to be "close to the team". 

Greater Manchester Cricket League (GMCL) say its board "fully supports" the Oldham-based club's swift action to call off the forthcoming games. 

They tweeted on Thursday morning:

Since then, both Saddleworth Cricket Club games this weekend have also been postponed as a precaution - after they played against Uppermill last weekend. 

Saddleworth's first team was due to face Austerlands on Saturday and their second team was set to play Werneth's third team on Sunday.
