..:: Welcome ::..

Official announcement

The Management Committee have now received official confirmation that Cutthorpe have decided to leave the League. Eckington had already informed us of their intention to do the same.

In view of the effects this will have on promotion and relegation, not only to the Championship and Division 1, but to all other divisions, the Management Committee are acutely aware that clubs and players will require a decision as soon as possible and we are presently discusssing all the options. (We also have to consider that the permutations have to include the 3 posssible outcomes of the Premier League at the end of the season, i.e. there could be 2, 1, or 0 clubs relegated to our Championship).

Rest assured that we are striving to make an early announcement regarding this issue so that everyone will know where they stand regarding promotion and relegation this year.

Announcements

About the maps

Here's a tip....If you click on the "view larger map" link in the lower left-hand corner you can get directions to the area where the ground is. Until we have postcodes for each ground these directions will be approximate, but they should get you close enough.

Rules feature added

A new menu called "Rules" has been added. The first entry in the drop-down menu is a run-down of the current Registration Procedures, so - if you want a reference - here it is!

Results service

NEW FEATURE! A "Results" menu has now been added, which includes a sub-menu for Paul Barker's report on the highlights of the day. Please read the explanation in the header page (Results 2008) for information about results, scorecards and statistics using our sister site on play-cricket. (By the way, to accommodate this new menu you will now find Committee News as a sub-menu of the "News" section).
