Market Harborough Ladies Rounders League
First Post
Newsletter May 2008-05-30



Firstly, should you have any useful newsletter info, match,hatch or dispatch, please let me know for future issues.

New Rules
Most of you will be now have participated in a game whether playing or umpiring. Please note a few points. Once a game has been won the match finishes, even if in the middle of an innings. Previously you would have carried on until the end of an innings, but we are now playing to NRA Rules and it states that once a game is won that is the end. Also please note that the 10 Rounder rule previously played, no longer exists. We now play “the 5 Rounder Rule” follow on.
When umpiring could you please shout out when a “half Rounder” is scored the same as you would if a rounder is scored. NB You only score half rounder at 2nd or 3rd post if you have HIT the ball.
It has been brought to the attention of the Committee that some players are intimidating umpires and if they are young or inexperienced it is unsporting conduct. Please try to keep comments to yourself and ask your Captain to approach the Umpire in a sporting manner.

Score Sheets
Just a reminder to all Captains that the Score sheets have to be handed in to The Nelson.
You might have noticed that when using your Score sheets for Cup Matches that there aren’t any “ball boxes” for counting 30 balls at the bottom of the sheet. Jan will try to produce some for the forthcoming matches. If you do not get one in time just mark your own off along the bottom of the sheet.

A Few Last points

If any player or teams have hold of old trophies that they weren’t presented with last year (2007) could they please pass them to a Committee Member.
We have one or two outstanding. 0ne is the Marilyn Curtis Trophy presented to the runners up in the Closed Tournament. Not sure what year as the Closed hasn’t been held for a couple of years.
