Cedric Rhoades Trophy
|
|
|
B. McGonigal put on a one-man batting show against the Bassetlaw XI at Denby, scoring 158 not out in their total of 235 for 5. The Bassetlaw lads scored 234 for 5 in their 45 overs, thanks largely to 76 from Aaron Haycock, 67 from Darren Spooner and 42 from Matt Hall. Gary Andrews, 1 for 26 off 9 overs, and Lee Brookes, 2 for 42 off 9, were the main performances with the ball, but the Derby League ran out winners with 4 overs to spare.
Well played and hard lines fellas, you've done us proud again.

Charity match at Caythorpe for Josh Mierkalns
|
|
|
24-year-old Josh Mierkalns is a talented sportsman, who joined Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club in 2006, spending two years as a professional cricketer following his rise through the Notts Academy, where he represented the county at every age group level. Although his first team opportunities were limited to a handful of appearances, he became an incredibly popular member of the staff and was in great demand to play as a ‘pro’ in club cricket when his Notts career came to an end.
Unfortunately for Josh, he suffered a severe intestinal illness during the winter of 2008. After being admitted to hospital, he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. In a dramatic turn of events, he lost two and a half stone in two weeks, and was forced to undergo an emergency life-saving operation to remove his colon.
Sporting an external colostomy bag, Josh battled to regain fitness, and signed for Caythorpe CC in 2009. Last winter, Josh’s health declined once again despite further operations and his condition was complicated through an acute attack of gout.
The illness has meant that Josh is unable to work but his fighting qualities have come to the fore and he refuses to give up his ambitions of playing cricket for Caythorpe again this summer and still harbours a fierce motivation to play professional cricket once again. During his illness, he has received assistance from the Professional Cricketers’ Association (PCA) Benevolent Fund, and the PCA have now joined forces with Caythorpe CC to organise a charity cricket match in his name.
On Sunday September 5, a star-studded PCA Masters team, which includes Nottinghamshire captain Chris Read, former England fast bowler Devon Malcolm and Australian David Hussey, will take on a Nottinghamshire Premier League All Star XI, in what promises to be an explosive Twenty20 encounter.
All proceeds are going towards a special fund for Josh – to nurse him back to health and support him to get the qualifications needed for the next stage in his life.

To all clubs - ECB U12 ruling
|
|
|
Many clubs will have suffered the loss of potential young players this season owing to the ECB ruling denying U12's the opportunity to play senior cricket.
The ECB now (months after issuing the ruling!) wish to know how many such U12's have been unable to play. To this end, could you send the name and club of any players under 12/Year 7 Secondary School age who would have been selected for senior league games to Merv Griffiths, the Secretary of Notts Cricket Board Recreational Council at mervyn.grif@ntlworld.com

Player Transfer Reminder
|
|
|
As a reminder to everyone about players transferring to your club at this stage of the season:
'No player who has played Saturday cricket for another club either inside or outside the BDCL, is permitted to play for a club in the this league after the 3rd Saturday in August, unless the transfer is registered on or before the 3rd Saturday in July'
The 3rd Saturday in July has now passed and therefore, any transferees under the above rule will not be able to play in the BDCL after the 21st August this season.

League Secretary
