Any Other Business
Knockout Cup
It was reiterated that in Cup Matches a bowler can only bowl in one innings and that they can’t come on to bowl again unless in the case of a draw.
Score Sheets
When Umpires are putting “Players player” names on the sheet please make sure that it goes on the side that their batting name appears. Score sheets for next season will include nos. of balls at the bottom of the sheet.
Pitches
A Discussion took place regarding the pitches at Northampton Rd. Jan explained that she had meetings with the Council and that although they had suggested some teams play at Little Bowden Rec The Committee had decided that we all stick together and continue to play at Northampton Rd. (United we Stand divided we fall). Members present agreed with this strategy. Jan explained that we are still in negotiation with the Council over this and that this years fixtures will be difficult to put together but that the Committee will do their best. It was brought up about the holes in some of the pitches and the disturbance that other sports users caused. Jan said that following the meeting with the Council they had said that they would cap the “goalpost holes” during the summer months.
New Teams
Linzi Selby asked if new teams could get sponsorship from the League. Jan replied that the Committee would always look it at, and that they would support them where necessary.
CLIC Tournament
A letter from Caroline & Eva was read out thanking the League for the donation to CLIC. Caroline said that next year they might introduce a “Mixed Tournament” or hold the event in April as a lead up to the season. It was explained to some of the members present what CLIC stood for and that as it is the only Charity event held that the teams should try harder to support this Tournament.

NEWSLETTER JUNE 2008
SCORE SHEETS
Score sheets are to be completed prior to the match not on arrival at the game. This is causing games to start late.
Would captains please ensure that score sheets are completed correctly before handing these in.
If for any reason there is only one score sheet at the beginning of a match, the match must start and if absolutely necessary use a piece of paper for marking scores etc. One score sheet missing is not a reason to delay a match.
STARTING TIMES
Umpires are reminded that a game must start at 6 30 pm when each team has 6 players. Games are not to be held up due to teams awaiting a full compliment of players. Up to 15 players can be named on the score sheet. Players can join in at any time, so there is no reason why a game should be delayed if 6 players are available to start.
VOID BALLS
If a match is being played at the Leisure Centre close to the fenced off area there is a possibility that the ball may go under the fence. It is up to the captains of both teams to agree prior to the commencement of the match any area which may be designated void.
CUP MATCHES
Apparently a rule had been misinterpreted regarding the use of bowlers during a cup game. The rule in the handbook clearly states: In a Cup match, a minimum of TWO bowlers must be used per team, the match will consist of 30 good balls per innings each, each bowler can only bowl 30 good balls in the game (once a bowler has bowled in the 1st innings they cannot be used in the 2nd innings as a bowler).
CUP DRAW
The draw for the semi final of the Cup is as follows:
Green Arrows v MH Ladies Umpires Lyns/Wharf
Bowden Blacks v HB Ladies Umpires Welford/Nellies

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.
