In Division Eight all teams will play eighteen matches, meeting six teams twice, and six only once with three at home, and three away. Some amendments made on December 30th. I will post the Division C and Ladies Challenge fixtures as soon as they have been forwarded to me. Ladies Annual General Meeting Hopefully we shall a brief resume of the Ladies AGM shortly.Annual General Meeting highlights Just to briefly go over the major issues at the Annual General Meeting. Following the various reports, during which Gill Denny encouraged the expansion of the Ladies Section to cover all formats from 20/20 upwards as these days a number of clubs having a growing number of girls having coaching sessions at club. All team captains will have to submit reports on their opposition after each match. Mel Phair has stood down as Fixture/Stats Secretary, and volunteers will be sort to handle one division each. Of the proposed changes to the Rules, again to be brief, but none of the proposals appertaining to fielding restrictions were carried, and two of them were also withdrawn. The proposal that the Suffolk Premier League Champions enter the League in Division Four as from the start of the 2011 season was carried. The proposal that players cannot play for more than one club in the East Anglian Premier League feeder system during a season was also carried. Rule 13d regarding to Clubs paying coaches will be changed to Level 2 or its overseas equivalent. Abberton's proposal regarding the amount of overs that can be bowled for an individual was rejected. The fine for failing to submit a correctly completed and legible result sheet will result in a fine of £10 for each complete week the sheet remains missing was carried. Clubs will be notified if their results sheet has not been correctly received. The proposals with regard to only using one ball per match in the lower divisions was rejected, as was moving the starting time of matches back to 1.30pm and 1pm from September 1st. It will remain as it was in the 2009 season. It was announced that Dedham have withdrawn from membership of the League, Sudbourne Hall Cricket Club and St. Osyth Cricket Club then made their representations to the League, and both were elected to the League and will participate in Division Eight. Norman Atkins then announced that Easton 2nd XI and Mildenhall 4th XI will also be added to Division Eight. This means we have a thirteen club Division Eight, and the participating clubs agreed that to keep the number of fixtures manageable, there will be some clubs that clubs will only face once during the season with the costs of those matches being shared. Subscription to the League remains at £50, and it was agreed to set the levels of deposit to lodge an appeal on a disciplinary matter at £50, and the maximum fines for a guilty club to be £500, and a guilty player to be £200. Points deductions Three teams have had points deductions imposed for contravening Rule 17c and conceding matches. Boxted have had 10 points deducted for their second concession, and Harwich & Dovercourt II's have had 30 points deducted, 10 for the second concession and 20 for their third concession. Both teams had already finished bottom of their respective divisions. The last case was in Division C where Coggeshall conceded both their matches against Wivenhoe, away on May 3rd, but they lose ten points for their concession last Saturday. Woolpit CC Woolpit's 1st XI who have gained promotion to Division One for the first time, pictured after their victory over Felixstowe.
Copdock & Old Ipswichians - Champions 2009
Tied matches There seems to be some confusion abounding about how the points are split in the event of a tied match. Rule 16 is quite clear, 5 points for each team plus the batting and bowling points accrued by each team in the match. So a maximum of 15 is possible.
Statistical link Mel Phair has sent me this link which should take players to the League's stats for the season. Mel asks if we can be informed if there are any errors or omissions. So to see just clink on the following link: http://twocountiescricketleague-stats.moonfruit.com Administrative pages Gill Denny has requested that we add an Administrative Page to the website so that Club Officials can instantly see the important dates for submitting entries, or making payments, and such like. The Link for this page has now been added to the panel on the left. Mistley looking for ladies Mistley CC are in the process of forming a ladies team, interest so far is good but we would welcome more players to swell the numbers and allow us to get some friendlies underway; if you are interested please contact the club via e mail mistleycc@aol.com or robin@mills3358.freeserve.co.uk Players of all abilities are most welcome. Photos I would like to be able to publish more photos on the web-site during the course of the season, whether they be team groups or actions shots. I did not have any pics sent to me of last seasons' various champions and so have been unable to update the opening page to the site. So please send them in via e-mail, the link for which is further down the page, and also add a caption as to what the shot is, and the players names thereupon. Thanks very much. All the news, results and tables on your mobile Anyone with a wap enabled mobile phone can now access these pages there upon. Just go to www.twocounties.com/news and you will get this page, and all the links will lead you to the other pages. Please ensure I receive the correct scores Quite a number of times the scores being telephoned through to me are slightly incorrect, and the wrong points therefore being awarded until such time as I receive notification of an amendment. More than a few times I can tell that the caller does not have the completed score sheet in front of him or her when calling, and I assume they ended up guessing either the score or the number of wickets to have fallen. Also on occasions I have only been given the winning margin and the points, and no scores whatsoever. It is not a hard job to relay the correct information and each call need not take anymore than 30 seconds. Can callers also please remember to hang up their phones when they have finished.Club links page I have updated the clubs links page as much as I can, if any other the links need updating then could someone from the club contact me with the revised details sr.isaac@btclick.com Just how well this web site functions is also very much down to the individual clubs as I would like to receive news of the matches and the clubs from individuals within the clubs. So please nominate someone in your club to act as your representative to forward such to me via e-mail. I would like to know about outstanding performances, strange events during matches, well you know the sort of thing we can put on the web site. Your input is extremely important, whether it comes from a club, an individual, or the General Committee itself. So please just mail me via the link below.
