The Second XI fixtures for the 2018 season are now available to view. The season begins with a friendly match against MCCYC over 3 days on April 10, before the competitive action gets underway away to Sussex at Hove.
Essex’s home fixtures are set to be played across the county with Billericay, Coggeshall, Bishop’s Stortford and Southend all hosting matches, plus also the inclusion of a T20 match against Glamorgan at The Cloudfm County Ground, Chelmsford in June.
The team, headed up by Academy Director Barry Hyam, will compete across three formats once again; the Second XI Championship (3 days), the Second XI Trophy (50-over) and the Second XI T20 competition (double header). All three competitions are regionalised for the group stages so Essex will come against teams in the southern half of the country.
Entry to all Second XI fixtures in 2018 is free for Members.
