End
of Season Final Update
Hi Guys
I hope your summers are all going well, I
have kept a look out for all your results and have noticed a few of you
have made great starts to the season! I have included our application form
for next season. I will give you a brief run down on how the next season
will work however I must stress that this is subject to change depending
on how many more teams enter as we are already approaching full
subscription.
The league will run as before and will be
split into two periods, October to December and January to March. The
matches will still take place on Sunday afternoons and once again at the
Princess Royal Sports Complex, Wellington. We have listened to your
feedback and are still making minor adjustments to the rules based on your
comments. All matches will be officiated by a neutral umpire provided by
Cougar Cricket, this umpire will act as the standing umpire so sides will
have to supply an umpire at square leg, this may be a player. The cup
competition has been expanded to incorporate all our leagues (Yeovil,
Wellington and Wells). This may result in teams from Wellington having to
play at Yeovil or Wells. Whilst the cup competition is free to register
you can opt out if you think you will struggle to raise a side that will
travel. Finally, all cancellations across all games (league and cup) will
result in the game being forfeited and a fine of £48. The fine covers the
cost of a cancellation and will also act as a deterrent. Whilst we
appreciate sides can be let down at the last minute there will be no
exceptions to this rule. If you have any further questions then please get
in touch and I will try to answer your queries as accurately as I can.
I have included an entry form for the
2010/11 season. We will hold our founder clubs places until 1st
July before we open it to other teams. We are also offering clubs the
chance to register for £30 until 1st July, after that date the
price will rise.
I have also attached a copy of the season
statistics for you to look at use as you wish. In addition, if you would
like to receive a hard copy please let me know and I will send them out.
From the statistics I can announce the following award winners for our
inaugural season:
2010 League Winners:
Sampford Arundel CC
2010 Wellington League Bowler of the Year:
Jon Shepherd, Queen’s (9 wickets @ 18.6)
2010 Wellington League Batsman of the Year:
Gary Bishop, Up the ‘Grove (213 runs @ 106.5)
2010 Wellington All Rounder of the Year:
George Musgrave, Queen’s (179 runs @ 59.6 & 8 wickets @ 19.3)
The awards were very difficult to decide,
special mentions must also go to Paul Short of Wellington CC and Dave
Kittow of Sampford Arundel CC who both had very good seasons and were
unlucky not to win their respective honours. Congratulations to those who
picked up awards and arrangements will be made in the coming weeks to
present you with your awards.
Finally, as I mentioned earlier, we
intend to supply neutral umpires for all our games next season. Due to the
nature of the game it is our desire to train up individuals that have
taken part in last season’s league rather than approach current practising
umpires. David Derrick and Louis Corbin will be taking up the reins for us
but if there is anyone else who wishes to become an indoor league umpire
(Cougar Cricket will provide you with all the training and equipment as
well as paying a competitive rate) then please get in contact. If you
could forward this around your clubs that would be great.
I hope to see you all in upcoming season.
Many thanks for your participation in last year’s competition and best of
luck for the remainder of the summer!
Kind regards
Rob Mortell
