Fixtures for all four grades of the senior men’s competition have been released with play to start on Saturday, November 7.
This season all games will be one-dayers following a recommendation from Cricket Victoria allowing the competition to be as flexible as possible.
A grand final rematch will take place between Kyabram Fire Brigade and Rochester in round five with the premier hosting the contest.
GMC operations manager James Stokes said it was exciting to think the season was only a couple of weeks away.
“Our clubs have worked really hard to put us in a position where we can get the season away,” Stokes said.
“There are a few practice matches going on now and those are helping teams adjust to the COVID-19 protocols we all have to follow.
“It’s just nice to say we’re going to be able to play some sport.”
The GMC’s Twenty20 Challenge will also be played in November with just six teams choosing to participate.
Games will be played on a Thursday starting at 5 pm.
The top four sides after two rounds will feature on a finals day on December 13.
Fixtures for the junior and senior women’s competitions are expected to be released in the coming days.
