About The Site

INTRODUCTION:

Scimitars is The Number One Essex Cricket Fans Site anywhere, now powered by SportNetwork after formerly being at Rivals.net.
Being a fans site, it does just that. The site is run for the fans by the fans, so if there is anything you'd like to see on Scimitars, then please e-mail me.

SITE PUBLISHER:

Please let me introduce myself. I'm David Buxton (everyone calls me Dave!), the Site Publisher. I am 19 years old (20 on 1/3/03!) and am currently studying a HND In Computing at a local college, as well as running the site of course. I've been an Essex cricket fan since around 1995, when I first got into cricket. I also play, for Shepherd Neame Essex League side Old Parkonians. I also support Leyton Orient FC!

THE SITE:

As said above, the site is for the fans, by the fans. The things you want to see will appear on here and the comments you want to make on Essex cricket you can.
The site first launched on Rivals at the end of February 2001 and was one of the most successful cricket fan sites there with regular updates and lively messageboard discussion. The name of Scimitars for the website came from the Essex crest (which has three scimitars).
However, cricket was disposed of by Rivals at the end of September 2001, leaving Scimitars homeless.
Thanks to SportNetwork though, Scimitars has been able to be re-launched, this happening on Friday 22nd March, 2002.
Since then, there have been many editions of features, such as a Chat Room, Fanbase (where you can send in your profile and become part of the community here at Scimitars), Poll Questions and Classic Matches.
As well as the messageboard, Scimitars is the place to be for Essex fans.

To help easy navigation to the site and in contacting myself, the site now has a new URL, being www.essexcricket.info and my new e-mail address for anyone wishing to contact me is webmaster@essexcricket.info
These two new easy to remember addresses will help people visit the site quicker and also help to spread the word around about Scimitars. We also have a new logo and new layouts to the site and it's stories to make the visit even more enjoyable.

During the summer will see comprehensive coverage of the county, plus news on the 2nd XI, Essex colts XI's and local league cricket also, particularly the SNEL (Shepherd Neame Essex League).

The Messgeboard is the heart of the site and is always worth a visit.
You can look at stories that have appeared on Scimitars at the story index link.

Thankyou to visitors who contribute to the site on the messageboard and I hope will continue to do so.

For any companies out there, small or large, we are looking for sponsors, in return for an advert about your company. Please e-mail me for more details.

Thankyou for visiting the site. I hope you enjoy it and please come back soon. Please contact me with comments and suggestions about the site. Thankyou also to contributors and we hope you continue to contribute in the future.

Remember, Scimitars is Essex Cricket, For The Fans, By The Fans.
