With Western Australia having moved out of its hard lockdown last Friday evening, the Leeming Spartan Cricket Club is gearing up to return to playing this coming Saturday, the 13th of February.

WA is not completely out of the woods as yet, and a number of requirements are still in place as was announced by the State Government in order to keep everyone COVID safe – until 12:01am on Sunday 14th February unless any further cases are confirmed before then.

Namely, masks are still required when inside the clubhouse and we are still bound by the four square-metre rule. These are extremely important measures in order to ensure that no one is put at unnecessary risk and no further outbreaks of the Coronavirus COVID-19 occur.

This means that a number of restrictions and requirements are still in place which will affect each Spartan who takes to the field for this coming Saturday’s matches.

The Leeming Spartan Cricket Club will be open during its normal operational hours this week, including for Tuesday and Thursday training sessions. A private committee meeting will be held at the clubrooms on Wednesday evening and members are invited to come down on Friday evening for drinks – but we’ll let you know more about this later today!
