Clydesdale Junior washout
Posted on Friday 27th June 2008 by Colin Dawson
Hopefully this is not the sign of things to come but tonight is the first complete junior league washout of the season. Sadly it means that 22 Under 11's and Under 15's have to think about packing their holiday bags rather than completing double victories [positive thinking!] against Clydesdale.
I am only up to speed with the U11 holidays and it appears that from having a pool of 22 and being able to field teams of 10 every week up till now it's all change in July. It seems that 70% of the pool is going on holiday and fielding teams of even 8 may prove to be a struggle. Fingers crossed!
Overall the junior age groups are in the middle or upper table positions in their respective leagues but there is a long way to go. Numbers are healthy across the board [holidays excepted of course] and there will be more opportunities during the holiday period for those that have not been available for matches to date.
New members are still welcome at all junior age groups especially at the younger end - if anyone is interested in joining just use the "contact us" facility on the website. Summer practices continue to the end of August at the Club on Sunday mornings from 10.30am to approx 12.15pm.

Due to the rain, cricket practice tonight is doubtful unless radical improvement in ground conditions.

Magners reward for a Midsummer 50 or Five-for
Posted on Saturday 14th June 2008 by Fraser Murray
To celebrate the longest day of the year, Magners Irish Cider is offering cricketers in Scotland’s senior leagues a case of pint bottles if they achieve a 50 or five wickets on Saturday 21 June – Midsummer’s Day.
Jules Macken, GB Brand Manager for Magners, said: "Magners and cricket are a perfect fit. Watching cricket on a warm summer’s day is an ideal way to enjoy a pint of Magners over ice. As Midsummer’s Day falls on a Saturday, when there are many League matches planned, this is a just a simple way to generate a bit more interest for the players."
Roddy Smith, Chief Executive of Cricket Scotland, welcomed the initiative. He said: "It’s a great idea to offer our senior club players a chance of receiving some product for some on-field success, and it will help create some added interest in next Saturday’s games!"
To qualify, all players must be over 18 years of age on Saturday 21 June, a member of one of the following leagues, and participating in league matches on 21 June in the SNCL Premier, SNCL Div 1, SNCL Div 2, East League Div 1, Western Union Div 1, Perthshire and Strathmore Union Premier, and Border League.
Cricket Scotland will arrange delivery of the cases of Magners to the successful players' clubs.
Metal Spiked Boots on Artifical Pitches
Posted on Monday 2nd June 2008 by Fraser Murray
It has come to the notice of the League Management Committee that players have been ignoring the wishes of clubs with artifical surfaces, and the accepted practice and custom of the WDCU for the last 25 years, for bowlers and batsmen not to wear metal spiked boots.
The damage done to pitches by use of spiked footwear is thoroughly unacceptable - especially in these times where pitches are at a premium. Failure to comply with this code of conduct may result in the Management Committee taking sanctions against offending clubs e.g. Deduction of points, suspension of Captains and/or some other penalty.
We are in the business of promoting cricket in the west and trying to get the maximum number of games played - we expect the support of all clubs in this regard. Players by and large are fully aware that "spikes" are not used on artificial surfaces.
Please be aware that common courtesy alone would demand that the wishes of clubs with artificial tracks be repected meaning that sanctions by the League Management Committee will not need to be taken.
