Adam has once again agreed to organise the 2019 Season Fantasy Cricket on behalf our club.

After the success of last season we are hoping to get more teams registered which in turn supports our club funds.

Kevin (Tucker) Hetherington was the 2018 champion and I am sure he will be a front runner again next season.

Our website has had 90,000 hits since its launch in April 2008.

Our 2nd team have been moved over to Division 6 South from the North Division, after the league committee looked at all clubs in Division 6 and also considering the geographic boundaries.

This is to balance up the two Divisions and as we were the furthest South of all the club in the North Division.

Captain - David Dent

Vice Captain - Cory Milburn

We completed our end of season work on our 15 wicket cricket square on 19^th September.

We scarified our square on the angle and then straight up and down the wicket.

We spread;

• 4 bags of Barenberg extreme grass seed.

• 2 bags of fertiliser.

• 4 ton of surrey loam.

• 2 bags of soil conditioner.

After watering we now have 6 germination sheets on to help promote grass growth.

Around our square we have fitted chicken mesh to keep the rabbits and footballers off.

Now we wait for the grass to grow before we move our germination sheets.

In the meantime Executive Committee members wish to thank all clubs who submitted suggestions as part of the League's rules review.  The submissions are being considered and feedback will be provided.

N&TCL Rules Review: Player Consultation        

As part of the current review of League Rules, Executive Committee members are seeking to ensure that players have an opportunity to contribute their views.  To this end two Player Forums are being organised as follows (both with 7:30pm starting times):

It would therefore be appreciated if your could arrange for captains and vice captains from each of your teams to attend one of the above gathering (or the attendance of substitutes where necessary).

Also if any player from your club wishes to submit suggestions, for rules changes, in advance of the meeting, those would also be welcomed.
