HOW TO USE THIS SITE
IMPORTANT! It's not compulsory to register - you can view some items as a visiting guest - but you will only see a part of our website. Some items are only visible to registered members, so please register then log in to see all the news and reports on our site.
Existing Members can Log In to see everything on this site or, if you are new to the site please Register using the button at the top of this page.
Registation only takes a few minutes and enables us to keep a track of the number of members. The more registrations we have the easier it will be to attract sponsors in order to keep the site alive and vibrant. You need only provide minimal details which will NOT be used for any other purpose.
Click on any menu button at the top (e.g. "News") to see the introduction to each section, or hover your cursor over it to see other items. Sometimes there are other sub-menus (look carefully as a small white arrow indicates a sub-menu) - hovering over a button will reveal these (e.g. hover your cursor over "Results" to see the season's results week-by-week).
New items are being added all the time, so keep coming back to see what's happening! (The "announcements" section will usually advise you of any important new additions other than the weekly updates such as results and tables).
1,000 registered members and a new record!!!!!!
We now have over 1,000 registered members (and many,many more casual visitors). During the season we get over 6,000 hits a week! The new record for hits in a week is over 8,000 hits in the first week of September 2011. Also there were over 8,000 hits in the month of January 2011, a remarkable number for out-of-season!
Our thanks to all our readers. We hope that you are finding something interesting or informative here, so keep coming back, we're still adding items during the close season (and, as you can see, they're proving extremely popular)!
Tip - Having trouble reading the text or want to see more of the page because it doesn't fit your screen perfectly? Simply hold down your "Ctrl" key and rotate your mouse's scroll wheel away from you for larger text, and - if necessary - towards you for smaller text.

| A shot at the pros Every cricket league has the "guy who didn't quite make it". Every club has a talent who never really got a fair shot. On Cricket AM this summer we're looking to unearth these gems and give them... a shot at the pros. Our two lucky winners will spend one week living the life of a pro-cricketer. They will train, eat and live alongside their county team mates, picking up tips and pointers from world famous coaches and players.
If you think you deserve a "shot at the pros" then we want to hear from you. Record a short video telling us about your career in cricket so far, why you love the game and why you deserve... a shot at the pros and head to www.skysports.com/cricketam for details on how to upload and enter.

Sponsorship Update
|
|
|
It's been a bit quiet on this subject lately as the current financial climate has had an impact on the progress of some of the projects. However, it has proved an immense task and so, as can be seen in the minutes of the May meeting of the LMC, we have formed a small sub-committee to support the Sponsorship Manager, Fred Clark, in order to finalise the on-going tasks and move things along.
However, we can report that we have reached the agreed target number of balls purchased from Readers and their promised sponsorship has been honoured.
Once again, our thanks go to Fred for his work, and we hope for more good news in the not-too-distant future.

IMPORTANT! - Player Registration
|
|
|
ATTENTION ALL PLAYERS!
Are you registered on your club's "play-cricket" website?
Don't know? Unsure? Then please check with your club secretary as there are still many players not yet registered on-line for the 2012 season. Some clubs still do not have enough players registered to turn out legitimate teams for the first game on 21st April.
Failure to register means that you are effectively ineligible to play, so this is very important.
The League has published the procedure for on-line registration on several occasions throughout the close season so there are no excuses for not being aware of the process, and the League Registrars are available to help if needed. Their contact details are in the "League Officials" section of the "Welcome" menu.
This is the first season of compulsory electronic registration, and there will be teething problems, so the League will endeavour to be tolerant, but you can help your club to avoid penalties by checking that you are properly registered for yourself. Also, some of your colleagues may not be reading this, so spread the word amongst them so that the League - and your club - has everyone registered correctly.
Here's wishing everyone a successful 2012 season - and a hope for good weather!

Unwanted Cricket Equipment Wanted
|
|
|
One of our sponsors, Batting 4 6, have just agreed to support LV= SOS Kit Aid which is a registered UK charity supported by The Lords Taverners, ECB and IRB, who provide unwanted cricket and rugby kit to disadvantaged children in the UK and overseas. The programme makes a positive and tangible impact on the lives of young people by giving children of all abilities and backgrounds the chance to participate in sporting activities. It promotes social inclusion and helps drive a sustainable environment through recycling.
We are looking to encourage anyone to bring in their unwanted kit or equipment in to the kind people at the Batting 4 6 store instead of it cluttering up your garage for another season. We are hoping to give them a real boost from this part of the country, so please give them your gear if it's no longer any use to you, it will go to a very worthwhile cause.
The address is Batting 4 6 78 Carolgate, Retford. DN22 6EF.
If you need any further information please visit www.lvsoskitaid.com.

Guidelines for Rolling Cricket Pitches
|
|
|
Are you rolling your pitches too much? Cranfield University's research has revealed that only 10 passes of a roller may be enough to optimise your rolling program. Anything more may be a waste of time and money.
You can download the guidelines at http://www.cranfield.ac.uk/sas/naturalresources/research/projects/rolling.html
The report is rather scientific and may be heavy going for some readers, but the conclusions are very interesting and may alter some groundsmen's attitude to pitch rolling. In addition, it's always a good idea for cricket groundsmen to attend the Institute of Groundsmanship courses and details of local courses are regularly posted on this site You can also contact Stewart Burrows at Trent Bridge on stewartburrows@nottsccc.co.uk for further information.
