Update your email addresses!
We will shortly be setting up an email alert system that will let you know:
- when the deadline for submitting a result is approaching
- when the deadline for confirming a result is approaching
- when the home team has submitted a result, so the away team can confirm it
With this in mind, please can everyone make sure that the email address you have set up (go to Settings in the left navigation) is correct and up-to-date.

Cancelled matches: a reminder
Please be aware that under the new online results confirmation system - just as with the old, paper-based system - away teams are required to submit a confirmation of the result, even if the match is cancelled.

ECB Guidelines for Junior Players in Open Age Cricket
There has been a change in the ECB’s position on Under 12s in open age cricket. As a result of this Rule 22b of the League’s Constitution & Playing Rules will need the following amendment added:
“Players who are selected in a County Under 12 squad in spring for a summer squad or in another squad deemed by the ECB Performance Managers to be of a standard above “district level” for that season are eligible to play open age cricket. This is providing that they are at least 11 years old, are in School Year 7 on 1st September in the year preceding the season, and have written parental consent to play…”
This is operational with immediate effect.
Thanks to Corsham CC for bringing this to our attention.

Online Results Verification
After a successful trial in the higher divisions last season, teams from all divisions will now confirm results and enter pitch marks here on the website.
This takes the place of the paper results sheet - these are no longer required!
Once the home team has submitted a result, the away team will see a new link in the blue "tasks" box at the top of each page. Clicking on this will take you through the same result submission process that you have as a home team - except that the result will already be filled in, and you will see a section to enter the pitch markings.
If everything is correct, you shouldn't need to change much - maybe just a name or two in the "notable performances" section. But if there is a mistake, please update the relevant fields before submitting the form.
Once the away team has confirmed the result, the home team will no longer be able to edit the result; similarly once the administrator has verified the result, the away team will not be able to edit it either.
As usual, if you have any problems or questions, please email me.

Spring General Meeting
The Spring General Meeting of the Surridge Wiltshire County Cricket League will be held at Devizes Sports Club (Devizes Cricket Club), London Road, Devizes on Monday 23rd April 2012, commencing at 7.45 pm.
As usual this meeting will give Clubs an opportunity to collect league handbooks & cricket balls (with the advent of fully automated result reporting result sheets are a thing of the past) for the coming season.
Club Treasurers have received notification of the league affiliation fee, together with an invoice for cricket balls and any fines accrued during the 2011 season. Please note that all monies owing must be paid prior to the first official weekend of the League season. Failure to do so will result in your Club being docked any points gained until such time as all outstanding monies are received.
Prior to the distribution of balls etc. there will be a brief meeting which should last no longer than 30 minutes.
Clubs are reminded that those failing to attend will be fined £10.00 (apologies are not acceptable) together with any costs involved in the postage of their handbooks and balls.

Fixtures Update: Divisions 2 & 3
There have been updates to the fixtures for Divisions 2 and 3 since the "final fixtures list" was originally published on this site. The site has now been updated to reflect these changes.
In brief, the changes affect Division 2 matches involving Swindon A or Swindon Civil Service; and Division 3 matches involving Swindon B or Lambourn.
I am reliably informed that these are the final changes; apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Update: This was all due to a confusion between different versions of the fixtures. The original fixtures were in fact the correct ones, and have now been reinstated.

Division 7: rearranged fixtures
In the interests of having a full season's fixtures card - rather than the 14 matches and 4 spare Saturdays that a division of 8 clubs necessitated - there is now a rearranged schedule for Division 7.
The schedule has stuck as closely as possible to the previously published fixtures, while also keeping a reasonable pattern of home/away games; each team now has 9 home and 9 away fixtures, and will play each other either 2 or 3 times.
Many thanks to Stephen Chalke for the work he has put in on this.
