Ball orders for 2012

Unfortunately we have only got 3 weeks to get the orders in, so please make sure that you pass this form on to the relevent person, and this is returned to Jane Reeson at  reesonhkx46k@aol.com by 21st January. Please make sure you order enough balls for the whole season (including cup games if applicable). Any clubs still using balls left over from last season should do so at the start of the season.

Formation of divisions for 2012

We have had to make some changes to the last list due to teams entering then dropping out, and having nine teams in the lower divisions due to fixture and ground restrictions. We have also resurrected the Minor League instead of Division 6. The teams in this divisions will play each other only once, and we have tried to be as fair as possible with the travelling.

Fixtures 2012

Keith has just completed the CCA fixtures for 2012, and I will be entering them on the www.play-cricket.com website over the next few weeks when he gets them to me. I hope they will be on there for all Clubs by the middle of January, so watch your websites. Please check the fixtures and report any queries you may have. Unfortunately due to the number of restrictions we are unable to accommodate all of the "free dates" that clubs have requested. Any changes that you may need to make to the fixtures should be made by sending an email to the opposition club secretary, copying me in to that email. The opposition club secretary will then need to confirm this, and I will then amend the fixture if it is possible. If the Clubs cannot agree, then the date will remain as it is on the website.

Cup Entry form

Thanks to all of you that have already returned your cup entry forms, and to those Clubs that have advised me they wont be entering. I should remind you that the closing date for entries is Saturday 14th January . These entries should be returned to me with the payment enclosed.

Best wishes to you all for a Happy New Year.

Martyn Livermore

CCA Competitions Secretary
