MIDDLESEX MEN'S SECOND ELEVEN FIXTURES ANNOUNCED FOR 2024 SEASON
Today, we are pleased to announce the full fixture list for the Middlesex Men's Second Eleven for the 2024 season.
Despite only losing twice in the red-ball format in 2023, Middlesex Seconds will be looking to improve on a mid-table finish in 2023, when they finished ninth of all eighteen counties in the Second Eleven County Championship, and will be hoping for better fortunes in the Second Eleven T20 competition, when a disappointing campaign saw the side finish bottom of the South Group table.
The Second's 2024 season will kick off with a trip down the A23 to face Sussex at Horsham Cricket Club in the Second Eleven County Championship - the first of three back to back red-ball games to start the season.
On May 23rd the T20 campaign kicks off, with a trip to Garon Park in Colchester to face Essex, followed by nine further South Group matches, with the group stages coming to end on the 8th July, ahead of the Second Eleven t20 Finals Day taking place a week later on the 16th July.
Two friendly fixtures have also been arranged this season, with the side taking on an MCCL Representative eleven on Wednesday 8th May and the South Asian Cricket Academy on Monday 15th July - both venues will be confirmed when grounds are secured for these fixtures.
The Second Eleven's season comes to end with three back to back Championship matches in late August and September, with the final clash of the season coming against Yorkshire on home soil at Merchant Taylors' School in Northwood.
