Matters Arising
- Chairman’s Report (B. Rudlin)
 | Barry opened the meeting with a general synopsis of the success of
the league this year, and expressed congratulations to Eight Ash Green on
winning the league. He observed that it was good to see new teams performing
well this year, with good performances from Maldon and The Police teams. It
was also good to see Wivenhoe gaining a better turnout of players this year,
and increasing the depth of players interested in the game. |
| Barry also stressed the importance of good sportsmanship, and the
need for stronger teams to allow for new players to enter the game. Winning,
whilst important, is not everything, and it is vital that young and perhaps
less experienced players are given the opportunity to play. This can only
improve the league. |
| Barry also raised the suggestion of a different points system, for
which a proposal will be raised at the next AGM. |
|
| Cancelled Games - Please note that any games that are ‘called off’,
for whatever reason, cannot be re-arranged. This is stated in the rules of the
league, and must be abided by. |
| Possible Shortening of season – Barry suggested that by creating
two divisions within the league, the competitiveness of the game could be
increased. |
|
| District and Representative Games – Unfortunately, the ladies cricket
at County levels is still disorganised, and is poor in comparison to our own
league. District games are not very feasible, but we have been advised of
information on the National League and Knockout competitions. This will need
to be discussed at a further meeting. |
| Thanks to Dave Jones for the website – fantastic! |
