SBCC would like to apply to YVCL to expand our cricket club by including a 4th team in the Vale League, the reason being that we are in danger of losing some of our junior players who are eligible to play senior cricket, as we don't always have space for them in the 3rd team, and also we have 5 senior players who want to play regular cricket, but as things stand cannot get a game, the make up of the team would therefore hopefully be, 4 senior players and 7 juniors.
The management structure is in place to run an extra team, with 3 senior players committed to run and manage the team every week.
Subject to YVCL's agreement we would hope that they could play their home games at SBCC on a Sunday, with Burythorpe CC as a back up, as and when needed on a Saturday.
We are still working hard to improve Burythorpe CC, grounds and facilities and will continue to do so, as this is still to be the home ground for the SBCC 3rd team.
We would just like to finish, by saying that we believe the YVCL is an ideal place for our youngsters to start open age competitive cricket and if we don't offer this opportunity we fear that we will lose these players from our club.
Rob Gilyeat, Stamford Bridge.
10. Changes to League Rules proposed by the Management Committee
Rule 4. At the end of the season the top two clubs in Division 2 and 3 shall be promoted to Division 1 and 2 respectively; the bottom two clubs in Division 1 and 2 relegated to Division 2 and 3 respectively.
Explanation: Rewording takes account of the consolidation to three divisions.
Rule 5. League fixtures shall be played on Saturday or Sunday. Home league fixtures on Sundays will permitted for those teams whose grounds are unavailable due to priortiy being given to York & District Senior League fixtures. At the end of the season all League fixtures shall finish on the same day unless exceptional circumstances require an extension.
Explanation: For its survival, the League needs to move with the times and embrace change, including making league cricket on Sundays a viable option.
Rule 5.1 League fixtures scheduled for a Sunday will take priority over a cup game with the exception of the HPH and Scothern cup semi finals and final. No other fixture changes may be made after the fixture list has been published (unless teams wish to take advantage of Rule 5.2) without permission from the league.
Explanation: Rewording simply clarifies the confusion which arose last season.
Rule 12.1 Teams conceding league fixtures will automatically be deducted 10 points and the opposing team awarded 30 points. A fine of £30 will be waived if the offending team concedes the league fixture verbally with opponents and by texting the decision to by 8pm on the Thursday before the fixture. Scorecards are required for all conceded games.
Expanation: Relaxation of fines for conceded games subject to conditions.

CUP RULE
