It was a welcome boost for cricket in the Isle of Axholme - roughly the area between the River Trent and the South Yorkshire border - when Epworth managed to field a team in the North Lindsey League, on Sundays, last summer, after a gap of many years.
Now, following a meeting of that league, Lincs Cricket Latest gathers that the Epworth side wishes to be known as Isleonians.
We also understand a request has been submitted to play home games at Belton, rather than in the world-famous home village of John Wesley, the Methodist founder.
There hasn't been any cricket on the old square at Belton for many years. But, of course, it staged games to a high standard when the village club was thriving.
We know the North Lindsey League, and the club, will keep all relevant folk informed of what's happening prior to the start of the season. And when Lincs Cricket Latest gets to know, we'll be happy to inform the wider cricket-following public in the northern half of the county.
If - and we stress, if - the Belton facilities are not approved by the league, and we aren't suggesting they won't, there's always the last resort option to ask for permission to play all games away from home.
There is a recent precedent in the North Lindsey League.
