Cricket NSW have just released this statement:
Cricket NSW, with support from the Sydney Cricket Association, NSW Districts Cricket Association and NSW Country Cricket Association, fully support CA’s strong recommendation to immediately stop playing cricket at all levels for the remainder of the season based on medical advice.
Today, Cricket NSW CEO Lee Germon, SCA Chairman Graham Gorrie, NSW DCA Chairman Morris Iemma and Country Cricket Chairman Paul Marjoribanks unanimously agreed to halt their competitions.
They have also strongly agreed that all other associations and competitions across NSW should cancel their remaining matches.
McDonald’s NSW Premier Cricket titles will be awarded to the Minor Premier in each grade with Randwick Petersham claiming the Men’s First Grade title and Sydney the Women’s First Grade title.
Other associations will make decisions in due course.
Mr Germon said the decision is in line with expert advice from Cricket Australia’s Chief Medical Officer Dr John Orchard.
“The welfare of all our players, officials, volunteers and staff is paramount,” Mr Germon said.
“It is important that we do everything we can to look after our broader cricket community and contribute to the global effort to slow, and eventually stop, the spread of coronavirus.
“As such, I have no doubt that all cricket should be cancelled and that all clubs and associations need to seriously consider the cancellation or postponement of end of season functions.”
Unfortunately, this means that the season is over for 5th & 6th Grades. However, given the uncertain nature of the Coronavirus situation, there was little choice for Cricket NSW. We will make an announcement regarding our Presentation Night in coming days, but it won’t be held in May as is normally the case.

Sit back and enjoy every boundary from Sam Konstas’ second century of the season, we certainly did!
With 3 rounds remaining in the 2022/23 season, Sam Konstas has already scored over 1000 runs in his first season for SDCC.
Sam became the first player to score 1000 runs in all grades for the Club in his first season with the Club. The previous highest aggregates in their first season with the Club were Phil Jaques (593 in 2nds + 223 in PGs = 816) and Jason Young (812 in 1sts) – both in 1996-97. He has also equalled the club record for most centuries in a season with 4, joining Les Johns (1985-86), Justin Kenny (1990-91), Matthew Bradley (1996-97), Grant Davies (2005-06), Phil Jaques (2005-06) and Jamie Brown (2015-16 & 2017-18). This is the second consecutive season that Sam has achieved both feats, having scored 1139 runs with 4 centuries last season for St.George.
Sit back and enjoy the boundaries of Andrew Dietz on his way to his maiden grade century against @penrith_cricket_club on Saturday 👏🏽

During his stint of 31 runs on Saturday, Second Grade skipper Josh Horner passed 3000 runs for SDCC.
Josh has played a pivotal role at the club, particularly in the last few seasons, not only in a playing capacity but also as our second grade captain.
Onwards to 4000 — Well done Josh! 👏🏽
