1 SPONSORS ADDRESS
March 2017
As a long-term league sponsor and life-long cricket follower, it’s my pleasure to welcome in the start of the season and the new-look league structure. Now in our second year of sponsorship, we’re delighted to help drive the community’s momentum, continuing to champion the irrefutable links between business and sport.
Passion, perseverance and resilience are key qualities that we all gain from sport and are attributes that have bolstered UKFast for the past 17 years. I know that these qualities will be needed throughout another fantastic season for the league in 2017.
Our relationship with the Cheshire cricket community has been a pleasure so far and I look forward to watching the game continue to thrive throughout the region. Finally, from myself and all at UKFast, I’d like to wish the players, family and friends the best of luck for the season: let’s hope the weather holds out.
Best of British,
Lawrence Jones MBE
2 CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD ‘The only thing that is constant is change’ is a quote attributed to the ancient Ephesian philosopher Heraclitus. I’m sure he didn’t have 21st Century Cheshire Cricket in mind when he was thinking his profound thoughts, but the theme applies perfectly. Following the 2016 season which saw two Divisions-worth of 3rd & 4th XIs from the County League joining the CCL, the CCL & Alliance proposed to merge for the 2017 season and the merger was formally agreed by the Clubs of both Leagues. One of the reasons for the merger proposal was the fact that Team numbers, particularly at the lower end of the playing-standards spectrum, were reducing and sadly two Clubs have decided to fold since the end of 2016. Several other Clubs have reduced to single-team, at least for the time being, but on a brighter note we have two new Clubs joining in Europa Exiles & Burton, while Malpas make a welcome return with a single team and Timperley add a 4th XI. Clubs who are in difficulty, particularly with regard to playing numbers, are urged to contact the League, Cheshire Cricket & their local Forum as soon as possible. We will all do whatever we can to help. Please do not leave it until it is too late & dire consequences become inevitable. The ‘Cheshire Cricket League’ name has been retained, providing continuity back to the League’s formation in 1974, and the new League now has approximately 78 Clubs & 136 Teams playing in 11 Divisions, with UKFast continuing their valued sponsorship. With such a large structure, you will appreciate that it is essential to the smooth running of the League that Clubs fulfil their Admin duties correctly & promptly. With this in mind, the League will continue to look at ways to ease Clubs’ Administrative load as much as possible, in particular the use of electronic form-filling for a variety of tasks. Inevitably, there will be a period of settling in, and the League invite Clubs suggestions if they find areas which need tweaking or need clarification. It would be remiss of me not to congratulate all those teams who achieved Promotion & KO winners in both Leagues in 2016. In particular, we bid farewell to Bredbury St Marks & Romiley 1st XIs, Bredbury returning to the County League at the first time of asking and Romiley reaching new heights. Plus Stockport Georgians & Heaton Mersey 2nd XIs, two very strong sides who were the class of Division A. We wish them well in the County League. So, welcome to the new League to all Clubs & Teams, we hope you have an enjoyable & successful 2017. Hopefully another Heraclitus quote will also prove true ‘The unlike is joined together and from differences results the most beautiful harmony’.

In order to allow the opportunity for this right to be exercised, if the opposing Captain (or Vice-Captain) cannot be contacted for any reason, both teams must assemble at the venue. In the event of having informed the opposing club that play is not possible, but the away team insist upon travelling and no play takes place, then the AWAY team shall be responsible for paying both appointed umpires.
95 In these circumstances, if the match is subsequently played then the HOME team shall be responsible for paying both appointed umpires. 23. The Executive Committee shall set up a League Panel of Umpires. The Panel will appoint Umpires for as many First and Second XI Championship matches as possible and in these matches, the Umpires shall be the sole judges of the fitness of the ground, weather and light for play. For all other First XI and Second XI Championship matches participating Clubs should attend the fixture with an Umpire, where only one non-playing Umpire is available then if he/she wishes, they should be used as the Bowling end Umpire, that Umpire shall be the sole judge of fitness of playing conditions. The sum to be paid by Clubs to Umpires appointed by the League Panel of Umpires, to cover their expenses, shall be fixed at each Annual General Meeting for the following year. 24. Competing Clubs should appoint their own scorer for each Championship Match and home Clubs will be responsible for posting to the Fixtures and Results Secretary, on Official Sheets provided, the score-sheet, match result, times of start and finish of each innings and whether or not the competing Clubs have provided an Umpire and Scorer. Score-sheets should be submitted even if matches are cancelled or abandoned. All sheets must arrive not later than the Tuesday following the match except in the case of matches played on the Saturday of Bank Holiday weekends when they must arrive not later than the Wednesday following the match. Failure to meet this deadline will result in a fine of £10.00 for each offence. Submission of an incomplete sheet will result in a fine of £10.00 for each offence. All 1st teams are required to provided a scorer for all division 1 matches. Failure to do so will result in a fine of £25. On the 3rd transgression, and each subsequent transgression, the team will additionally incur a five (5) point deduction. The scorer shall not be a player and shall be in post for a majority of the match. Failure to provide a scorer shall be reported on the result sheet by the umpires. 25. The home clubs must accurately enter their results on the league’s play- cricket.com website: 1st XI data must be entered in summary (line scores and points) by 10pm on the day of the match either in League or Cup, and in full within 48 hours of the conclusion of the match. 2nd XI data must be entered in summary within 48 hours and in full within 96 hours, of the conclusion of the match. Fines will be levied for non-compliance. 26. 1st XI – at the conclusion of each season the Clubs finishing first and second respectively in the First Division shall be promoted to the Cheshire County Cricket League and the two Clubs finishing bottom of that League shall be relegated to the First Division of the League. The two Clubs finishing bottom of the First Division shall be relegated to the Second Division and the two Clubs finishing first and second of that Division shall be promoted 96 to the First Division.

Failure to do so will incur whatever penalty the Executive Committee have agreed for the season. 8. All rounds up to the semi-finals of the competitions shall be regionalised. The Executive Committee shall set the dates on which each Round shall be played and will notify all participating Clubs of the dates at the start of the season. However in the case of semi-final ties the participating Clubs shall be allowed by mutual agreement to rearrange the tie(s) for the Sunday before, or the Sunday after, the scheduled date but on no alternative date(s). The League
98 must be informed on any re-arrangements and in the case of any dispute between the Clubs concerned the match shall be played on the set date. If any match other than the final cannot be played on the set date due to inclement weather the Clubs concerned may by mutual agreement play the tie on any date up to seven days before the date set for the following round. If agreement cannot be reached the tie shall without exception be played seven days after the original set date. If any tie is not completed (subject to conditions in Rule 16) by seven days before the following round the winner shall be decided by the toss of a coin or by a bowl out (ECB rules will apply) in the case of all players and umpires being present. In the case of inclement weather the final shall be rearranged by mutual agreement as many times as is necessary to ensure a result under the conditions in Rule 16. 9. The final tie of each Competition shall be played on the same day on a ground chosen by the Executive Committee. 10. Club Secretaries shall be responsible for:- a) Receiving notification of the initial draw for the Competitions and the scheduled dates for the playing of each tie. b) If drawn with home advantage, arranging the starting times for each tie with their opponents.

The draw for the Competitions shall be made once, at the commencement of the season by the Executive Committee. The draws shall then be circularised to Club Secretaries together with the scheduled dates. There shall be no independent draw for subsequent rounds as Clubs shall meet in subsequent rounds on the basis of the first round draw with venues decided in the accepted way to be fair to all participating clubs. 12. Subject to special conditions incorporated in these rules, all matches must be played under the ‘Laws of Cricket’ as laid down by the M.C.C. at the time. In addition, the League has, for all matches played under its auspices, adopted the ECB Fast Bowling Directive, the ECB Safety Guidance on the Wearing of Cricket Helmets by Young Players and ECB Guidelines for Junior Players in Open Age Cricket. 99 13. All matches in the competition to be 20 overs each side, unless bowled out earlier. Bowlers may bowl a maximum of four overs. In the event of a bowler breaking down and being unable to complete an over, the remaining balls shall be bowled by another bowler. Such parts of an over shall count as a full over only in as far as the bowlers’ limits are concerned. In a reduced overs match, or an innings that has been reduced, the number of overs to be bowled by each bowler shall be reduced accordingly. In the event of an innings being reduced after the start, the bowling limits shall remain the same as when the innings commenced. A chart shall be produced to aid umpires and captains. 14. Matches to start at 6.30 p.m. or at agreed earlier time. If, in the umpires opinion, either team is not ready to start at the agreed time the opposing captain shall have the choice of batting or bowling. In the event of a late start, the number of overs remaining shall be calculated as specified in Rule 17. The interval between innings shall be no more than 10 minutes. The umpires shall be the sole judges of the fitness of light for play. 15. If the team bowling first do not complete their 20 overs within the stipulated time of 75 minutes, the innings shall be completed but they will forfeit from their reply the number of overs not completed at the cut-off time. Any over in progress when the limit time is reached shall count as completed for calculation purposes. This rule applies in matches with reduced overs. A chart outlining the cut-off times will be produced to aid umpires and captains. 16. If the team bowling second do not complete their 20 overs within the same stipulated time of 75 minutes, 10 runs shall be added to the total of the team batting second for every over not completed at the cut-off time. Any over in progress when the limit time is reached shall count as completed for calculation purposes. 17. In matches where the start of play is delayed, a match of shorter duration may be played but not less than 12 overs per side. The match must be reduced by one over per side for every 7 minutes of delay and the cut-off times determined with reference to Chart 2. 18. In matches where play is suspended the following rules shall apply: • Where the innings of the side batting first is suspended they shall be entitled to bat for the full number of overs available at the start of the innings. • If, owing to suspension(s) of play it is not possible for the side batting second to have the opportunity to bat for the same number of overs as the side batting first, they will bat for as many overs as are deemed possible by the umpires provided the minimum of 12 overs are bowled in the innings. For the purposes of this calculation umpires will deduct one over for every 3.5 minutes of delay and adjust the time allowed with reference to Chart 2. • In matches curtailed by this rule and providing a natural result has not 100 been achieved the winners shall be the team with the higher overall scoring rate throughout their innings. 19. The winners of a match not curtailed by suspensions in play shall be the team scoring the higher number of runs or, if the scores are level, the team that has taken most wickets. If the sides still cannot be separated the winners shall be the team striking the most boundaries (4s and 6s) or if still equal the side hitting most 6s or if still equal the side conceding fewest extras (excluding leg byes) shall be the winners. 20. NO BALL: In the event of a foot-fault no ball a free hit shall be awarded for the next delivery. If any type of no ball is bowled or wide called during the delivery of the free hit, one run shall be added to the total for the no ball or wide and another free hit shall be bowled next delivery. A batsman may only be out off a free hit in the same ways as off a no ball even if the free hit is called a wide. 21. WIDE BALL: All deliveries passing wide of the leg stump, and outside the line of the batsman’s body, that do not come into contact with the bat or any part of the batsman’s person, with the batsman standing in, and using his normal batting stance, regardless of where the ball pitches shall be called WIDE. 22. FIELDING CIRCLES: Normal fielding circles at a radius of 30 yards centred on the two middle stumps must be clearly marked out prior to the match. At the instant of delivery, a minimum of four fielders plus the bowler and wicket keeper must be within the fielding circle. In the event of an infringement the striker’s end umpire shall call and signal no ball. 23. For the first six overs of each innings only two fielders are permitted to be outside the fielding circle at the time of delivery. See Chart 3 in the event of a reduced overs match CHART 3: FIELDING RESTRICTION OVERS (FRO) In circumstances when the number of overs of the batting team is reduced, the number of Fielding Restriction Overs (FRO) will be reduced as set out below. This applies to both first and second innings of the match. Overs in innings is: 12 – 13; FRO = 3. 14 – 16: FRO = 4; 17 – 19: FRO = 5. Following the FRO and for the remainder of the innings, at the instant of delivery, a minimum of four fielders plus the bowler and wicket-keeper must be within the fielding circle. In the event of any infringement to these restrictions, the striker’s end Umpire shall call and signal no ball.
101 24. Incoming and outgoing batsmen must cross on the field of play. 25. All difficulties or disputes arising from the operation or interpretation of these Rules shall be referred to the Executive Committee and their decision shall be final and binding.

SHOULD WE BE PLAYING ? The following are the guidelines issued to all panel umpires at the beginning of each season. They are reproduced here to enable captains and players to appreciate the difficulties involved when rain threatens a cricket match. They should also form the basis of decisions on fitness for play when no panel umpires are appointed, including Second XI matches.
PRINCIPLES It is recognised that many players and umpires look forward to a competitive game of cricket on a Saturday afternoon and that, whenever possible, the game should take place – in a meaningful form. It must be recognised that when there is, or has been, rain, the safety of those taking part is of paramount importance. It must be recognised that when play continues in light rain or drizzle, there will come a point when, however plentiful the towels and drying facilities, the ball will become greasy and soapy, the bowlers thereby losing their grip and control it, there will be problems for fieldsmen in trying to stop and field the ball and batsmen will have difficulty in turning or stopping. It is recognised, above all, that what is required of umpires in such circumstances is consistency. The state of the game, or for that matter the importance of the game, is immaterial and it is the consistent application of the Rules across all matches to which umpires should aspire. LAWS AND RULES “…. the umpires shall be the sole judges of the fitness of the ground, weather and light for play.”
107 APPLICATION OF THE PRINCIPLES AND LAWS/RULES It is appreciated that the application of the principles and laws/rules mentioned above will be extremely difficult. It is possible here to give a number of specific guidelines but at the same time there is always to be an element that must be left to the umpire’s judgement, bearing in mind the facts before him. It is, and must be, appreciated that some conditions will be governed by circumstances, e.g. Umpires wearing spectacles. However the following points should be noted: Under no circumstances should play commence, either at the start of the match or after an interval, when rain is falling. In this instance, play must not begin in light rain or drizzle and should not commence simply because conditions are no worse than before the break took place. This is a situation where judgement is not required and consistency should be paramount. Once play has commenced it is the individual judgement of the umpires when to actually suspend play but the following guidelines are suggested: Play can continue in light rain or drizzle but Principle 3 indicated above should be noted. Even if the rain becomes no heavier there may become a point where play should be suspended if the conditions indicated in Principle 3 become prevalent. In the case of steady rain it will depend on the circumstances. If the weather has “closed in” and there is no sign of a break it is advisable to wait to the end of the over and then suspend play. However, if the rain is showery in nature it may be advisable to wait for say two overs before suspending play, particularly if the rain may clear after a short time. In the case of a heavy downpour, play should be suspended immediately. In the event of a thunderstorm it is again the judgment of the umpires when to suspend play although it is quite often useful to attempt to do this before the storm actually arrives in order that the pitch can be covered. However umpires must be extremely careful not to suspend play until they are satisfied that the storm will “hit” the cricket ground itself.
CONSISTENCY It is imperative that we make every attempt to be consistent, in particular in respect of starting play when there is any rain whatsoever falling on the ground. The criteria is not what is reasonable in the terms of one match but what is reasonable bearing in mind the need to adopt a consistent approach over the whole League programme. Finally, when there is a suspension of play due to rain, it is imperative that the umpires monitor the weather and are seen to be doing this on a regular basis in order that play can commence, or an inspection of the pitch can be made, as soon as the rain ceases.
108 ECB FAST BOWLING MATCH DIRECTIVES This Directive as per ECB Web Site, March 2016. For any subsequent changes visit www.play-cricket.com AGE: MAX. OVERS PER SPELL MAX. OVERS PER DAY Up to 13 5 10 U14, U15 6 12 U16, U17, U18, U19 7 18 For the purpose of these Directives a fast bowler is defined as a bowler to whom a wicket keeper in the same age group would in normal circumstances stand back to take the ball. Having completed a spell the bowler cannot bowl again, from either end, until the equivalent number of overs to the length of his* spell have been bowled from the same end. A bowler can change ends without ending his current spell provided that he bowls the next over that he legally can from the other end. If this does not happen his spell is deemed to be concluded. If play is interrupted, for any reason, for less than 40 minutes any spell in progress at the time of the interruption can be continued after the interruption up to the maximum number of overs per spell for the appropriate age group. If the spell is not continued after the interruption the bowler cannot bowl again, from either end, until the equivalent number of overs to the length of his spell before the interruption have been bowled from the same end. If the interruption is of 40 minutes or more, whether scheduled or not, the bowler can commence a new spell immediately. In matches of 20 overs or less per team where the competition regulations only allow bowlers to bowl less than or equal to the number of overs specified as the maximum in a spell in the Directives the provisions requiring an equivalent number of overs from the same end to have elapsed before a subsequent spell can commence shall not apply (e.g.in any age group competition where a maximum of 4 overs per bowler is allowed these may be bowled at any time in the innings irrespective of the number of spells bowled. Once a bowler covered by these Directives has bowled in a match he cannot exceed the maximum number overs per day for his age group even if he subsequently bowls spin. He can exceed the maximum overs per spell if bowling spin, but cannot then revert to bowling fast until an equivalent number of overs to the length of his spell have been bowled from the same end. If he bowls spin without exceeding the maximum number of overs in a spell the maximum will apply as soon as he reverts to bowling fast. Captains, Team Managers and Umpires are asked to ensure that these Directives are followed at all times. For guidance it is recommended that in any 7 day period a fast bowler should not bowl more than 4 days in that period and for a maximum of 2 days in a row. Age groups are based on the age of the player at midnight on 31st August in the
109 year preceding the current season. *Any reference to he/his should be interpreted to include she/her. ENGLAND AND WALES CRICKET BOARD SAFETY GUIDANCE ON THE WEARING OF CRICKET HELMETS BY YOUNG PLAYERS In February 2000 the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) issued safety guidance on the wearing of helmets by young players up to the age of 18. In brief, the guidance recommends that: helmets with a faceguard or grille should be worn when batting against a hard cricket ball in matches and in practice sessions young players should regard a helmet with a faceguard as a normal item of protective equipment when batting, together with pads, gloves and, for boys, an abdominal protector (box) young wicket keepers should wear a helmet with a faceguard, or a wicketkeeper face protector when standing up to the stumps. With the assistance of schools, cricket clubs and leagues, the wearing of helmets by young players is now standard practice in cricket throughout England and Wales. Helmets are widely available and are covered by a British Standard (BS7928:1998). A face protector represents an alternative head protection system for young wicket keepers. Face protectors are, at the time of publication of this guidance, a relatively new innovation. Wicketkeeper Face Protectors are covered by a new British Standard (BS 7928 – 2 :2009). The original guidance allowed parents or guardians to give their written consent to allow a young player not to wear a helmet. However now parental consent not to wear a helmet should not be accepted in any form of cricket. This guidance applies to all players up to the age of 18, both in adult cricket and in all junior cricket played with a hard cricket ball. The guidance also applies during all practice sessions. Any individual taking responsibility for players should take all reasonable steps to ensure that this guidance is followed at all times. The ECB asks that the guidance is communicated to the parents or guardians of all young players through clubs and schools, and that young players are not allowed to bat or stand up to the stumps when keeping wicket against a hard ball without wearing appropriate protection. ECB Cricket Department June 2013 ECB GUIDELINES FOR JUNIOR PLAYERS IN OPEN AGE CRICKET The ECB has issued guidance covering the selection and participation of young players in open age group cricket. This is to help clubs decide when to select young players in open age group cricket and how best to help their cricketing development when they play within open age groups. The guidance applies to Boys & Girls. The ECB keeps these guidelines under review and, following feedback from clubs and leagues, has revised these guidelines for the 2014 season. The ECB will continue to monitor the impact of these guidelines and you are invited to feedback your thoughts and comments in writing to the ECB
110 Non-First Class Cricket Department. The guidance is as follows: Making the step up from junior to open age group cricket is a significant event in any player’s cricket experience. Ensure the player’s safety, personal development needs and overall cricket experience are considered. Clubs, squad coaches & managers must take into account the requirements on age detailed in this guidance. Each case is to be determined on an individual basis, depending on the player’s ability and stage of cognitive and emotional maturity to take part at this level – however the minimum age guidance provided below must be adhered to. Juniors should be involved in all aspects of the game wherever possible i.e. socialising, team talks, practice, decision making and so on, so they feel part of the team. Children will often feel more comfortable and able to perform if they have a family member or friend also playing in the side. Remember, children’s early experiences will remain with them always and will often determine whether they want to remain playing the game or give up and do something else’ Provide an opportunity for players to show their talents in an appropriate way. Children who are just used as fielders will not fully experience the game. Be supportive, at all times, for all forms of effort even when children are not successful. Try and put them in situations where they will experience some success (however small) and ensure plenty of praise and encouragement. The Captain should inform the Umpires of under 18’s in the side. Restrictions ECB Helmets, Fast Bowling Directives and Fielding Regulations should always be adhered to for junior players in Open age group cricket. Minimum Age Year 7 pupils will not be permitted to play adult cricket in the League. Before participating in adult cricket, any player in school Year 8 must have both explicit written permission from a parent or guardian and the permission of a person within the club: Head coach, UKCC2 qualified coach or the CWO. Clubs must ensure their registration procedures ensure that this consent is obtained. The duty of care should be interpreted in two ways: Not to place a young player in a position that involves an unreasonable risk to that young player, taking account of the circumstances of the match and the relative skills of the player. Not to create a situation that places members of the opposing side in a position whereby they cannot play cricket as they would normally do against adult players.In addition, the guidelines note the need for clubs and leagues to recognise the positive experience young players should have in open age cricket. Clubs should provide an opportunity for players to show their talents in an appropriate way. 111 Fielding Regulations The ECB has regulations covering the minimum fielding distances for young players in all matches where a hard ball is used. • No young player in the Under 15 age group or younger shall be allowed to field closer than 8 yards (7.3 metres) from the batsman’s position on the popping crease on a middle stump line, except behind the wicket on the off side, until the batsman has played at the ball. • For players in the Under 13 age group and below the distance is 11 yards (10 metres). • These minimum distances apply even if the player is wearing a helmet. • Should a young player in these age groups come within the restricted distance the umpire must stop the game immediately and instruct the fielder to move back. • In addition any young player in the Under 16 to Under 18 age groups, who has not reached the age of 18, must wear a helmet and, for boys, an abdominal protector (box) when fielding within 8 yards (7.3 metres) from the batsman’s position on the popping crease on a middle stump line, except behind the wicket on the off side. Players should wear appropriate protective equipment whenever they are fielding in a position where they feel at risk. • These fielding regulations are applicable to all cricket in England and Wales. Age groups are based on the age of the player at midnight on 31st August in the year preceding the current season. ECB Safety Guidance on the Wearing of Cricket Helmets by Young Players In February 2015 the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) issued updated safety guidance on the wearing of helmets by young players up to the age of 18. In brief, the guidance recommends that: • helmets with a faceguard or grille must be worn when batting against a hard cricket ball in matches and in practice sessions • young players should regard a helmet with a faceguard as a normal item of protective equipment when batting, together with pads, gloves and, for boys, an abdominal protector (box) • young wicket keepers must wear a helmet with a faceguard, or a wicketkeeper face protector when standing up to the stumps. With the assistance of schools, cricket clubs and leagues, the wearing of helmets by young players is now standardpractice in cricket throughout England and Wales.Helmets are widely available and are covered by an updated British Standard (BS7928:2013). A face protector represents an alternative head protection system for young wicket keepers. Wicketkeeper Face Protectors are covered by a new British Standard (BS7928–2:2009). The ECB strongly recommends that wherever possible junior players use head protectors that have been tested against junior sized cricket balls. Parental or guardian written consent allowing a young player not to wear a helmet should not be accepted in any form of cricket. This guidance applies to all players up to the age of 18, both in adult cricket and in all junior cricket played with a hard cricket ball. 112 THE UKFast CHESHIRE CRICKET LEAGUE DISCIPLINARY REGULATIONS Definition :- For the purposes of these Regulations, the expression ‘player’ shall throughout this document be deemed to mean and include not only any player, but also any member or official of any club in any incident of alleged misconduct occurring on any part of a cricket ground or building and not merely the field of play. In addition to these Regulations, Appendix 2 contains the ECB’s Guideline Disciplinary procedures for Clubs. Unless specifically stated otherwise in the Regulations, the League will conduct Disciplinary Hearings and Appeals in accordance with the ECB’s Guidelines, which we have included here as Appendix 3. 1. CODE OF CONDUCT AND SPIRIT OF CRICKET 1.1 Code of Conduct 1.1.1 The League is committed to maintaining the highest standards of behaviour and conduct. All Clubs & Players, by virtue of their registration with the League and/or their participation in Competitions organised by the League, explicitly agree to abide by this Code Of Conduct, which incorporates the Spirit Of Cricket, and are bound by the provisions in these Regulations. The Code of Conduct applies to all matches played under the auspices of the England and Wales Cricket Board (the ECB) and may be applied to cricket in general. for ensuring that play is conducted within the Spirit of Cricket as well as within the Laws of Cricket (the Laws). 1.1.2 The Captains are responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted within the Spirit of Cricket as well as within the Laws of Cricket (the Laws). 1.1.3 Players must at all times accept the umpire’s decision. Players must not show dissent at the umpire’s decision or react in a provocative or disapproving manner towards another player or spectator.. 1.1.4 Players shall not intimidate, assault or attempt to intimidate or assault an umpire, another player or a spectator. 1.1.5 Players shall not use crude and/or abusive language (known as “sledging”) nor make offensive gestures or hand signals nor deliberately distract an opponent. 1.1.6 Players shall not make racially abusive comments nor indulge in racially abusive actions against fellow players, officials, members and supporters. Clubs must operate an active open door membership policy whilst respecting player qualification regulations and welcome players/ members irrespective of ethnic origin. 1.1.7 Players shall not use or in any way be concerned in the use or distribution of illegal drugs. 1.1.8 Clubs must take adequate steps to ensure the good behaviour of their members and supporters towards players and umpires. 1.1.9 Neither players nor clubs shall act in a manner likely or calculated to injure or prejudice the good name or interests of the League. Players shall not make any public or media comment which is detrimental to the League, clubs, umpires or the game in general. In this instance, 113 media shall include press, radio, television, external websites, club websites and social networking sites. 1.1.10 In the case of any breach of the provisions of these Regulations clubs must institute disciplinary proceedings against the player or players concerned in accordance with their own disciplinary procedures, whether or not a disciplinary report has been raised to the League. 1.1.11 The League actively encourages the use of Websites and other Social Media facilities and readily appreciates that they are very efficient, quick and cost effective communication tools. On the other hand, we are equally aware of unacceptable usage which can give rise to anxiety, embarrassment and offence. Clubs should be very clear that they have a duty to make their members aware that the League will not tolerate incidents which might be classed as follows :- • Offensive • Indecent • Threatening • False • Distressing • Embarrassing The League reserves the right to take action against Clubs, officials or players for breaches of acceptable comment 1.1.12 Players and club officials shall not disclose or comment upon any alleged breach of this Code. 1.2 Spirit of Cricket Cricket is a game which owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that it should be played not only within its Laws, but also within the Spirit of the Game. Any action which is seen to abuse this spirit causes injury to the game itself. The major responsibility for ensuring the spirit of fair play rests with the captains. 1.2.1 There are two Laws which place the responsibility for the team’s conduct firmly on the captain. Responsibility of Captains The captains are responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted within the Spirit of the game as well as within the Laws. Player’s Conduct In the event of any player failing to comply with the instruction of an umpire, criticising his decision by word or action, showing dissent, or generally behaving in a manner which might bring the game into disrepute, the umpire concerned shall in the first place report the matter to the other umpire and to the player’s captain, requesting the latter to take action. 1.2.2 Fair and Unfair Play According to the Laws the umpires are the sole judges of fair and unfair play. The umpires may intervene at any time, and it is the responsibility of the captain to take action where required. 1.2.3 The umpires are authorised to intervene in cases of: • Time Wasting 114 • Damaging the pitch • Dangerous or unfair bowling • Tampering with the ball • Any other action which they consider to be unfair 1.2.4 The Spirit of the Game involves RESPECT for: • Your opponents • Your own captain and team • The role of the umpires • The game’s traditional values 1.2.5 It is against the Spirit of the Game: • To dispute an umpire’s decision by word, action or gesture • To direct abusive language towards an opponent or umpire • To indulge in cheating or any sharp practice, for instance a) appeal knowing the batsman is not out b) advance towards an umpire in an aggressive manner when appealing c) seek to distract an opponent either verbally or by harassment with persistent clapping or unnecessary noise under the guise of enthusiasm and motivation of one’s own side. 1.2.6 Violence There is no place for any act of violence on the field of play. 1.2.7 Players Captains and umpires together set the tone for the conduct of a cricket match. Every player is expected to make an important contribution to this. 1.3 Failure to comply with the provisions of Paragraph 1 may lead to disciplinary action, irrespective of an alleged breach being related to a match not under the jurisdiction of the League. DISCIPLINARY REGULATIONS 2 Aims and Jurisdiction These regulations shall apply to any player who plays for any club at any level under the auspices of the ECB and are intended to provide assistance and uniformity to all Clubs and Leagues in dealing with any alleged breach of the Code of Conduct and Spirit of Cricket (Paragraph 1). It is intended that any breach of Paragraph 1 should in the first instance be dealt with by the player’s Club who should notify the Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee of the result of any action taken against it’s player. The League must inform Member Clubs, who in turn must advise their players, that any player suspended for part or all of the forthcoming season may have their information shared with other Leagues. The details are to include the player’s name, Club, the nature of the offence, the sentence and the start and end dates of the suspension. 3 Breaches 3.1 A breach of the disciplinary regulations occurs when:- • Any player in the course of, or in connection with a match, offends against the Code of Conduct or acts at any time to prejudice the good name of interests of the Leagues • Any club fails to properly control or discipline its players or acts in a 115 manner prejudicial to the good name or interests of the League. 3.2 Any player or club committing such a breach shall be liable to penalties in the manner prescribed in this document. 3.3 A breach of the Code of Conduct will normally be categorised as Level 1, 2, 3 or 4, as set out in Appendix 1. 3.4 Reporting of Breaches 3.4.1 For a first offence of a Level 1 breach of the Code of Conduct in a match, the umpire(s) should warn the player as to his future conduct and advise him and his captain that any repetition in the match will result in a Level 1 Disciplinary Offence report (L1DO) or a formal Disciplinary report. 3.4.2 If any player receiving such a warning then commits a further Level 1 breach in the match, the umpire(s) will advise him and his captain that they will be submitting an L1DO. 3.4.3 Should the umpire(s) consider that the first (or subsequent) offence of a Level 1 breach is sufficiently serious, they have the authority to decide to submit an L1DO or a formal Disciplinary report without having previously issued any warning. The player and his captain should be advised accordingly. 3.4.4 In all instances of any perceived Level 2, 3 or 4 breach, the umpire(s) must complete a formal report. 3.4.5 The report should be submitted using the standard discipline report form. 4 Procedure 4.1 Any alleged breach of Paragraph 1 above shall be notified in writing (to be known as ‘a Complaint’) to the Chairman of the Disciplinary Sub- Committee (the Committee) 4.2 Upon receipt of such complaint by its Chairman and as soon as reasonably practicable, the Committee shall consider the complaint and resolve either: 4.2.1 To take no action except to record the complaint and notify the club and/ or the player, as the case may be; or 4.2.2 To endorse the disciplinary action taken by the Club; or 4.2.3 To issue a Level 1 Disciplinary Offence (L1DO) notice; or 4.2.4 To refer the matter to a Disciplinary Hearing which shall be convened by the Secretary to the Committee as soon as practicable. 4.3 The Committee may of its own volition consider any incident which may come to its notice even if no complaint relating to such incident has been made. In such event the Committee shall resolve as set out in sub- paragraph 4.2. 4.4 On receipt of an L1DO notice, a player or Club may, within 7 days of receipt, request a formal hearing in place of the L1DO. In such event the Committee shall resolve as set out in sub-paragraph 4.2. 5. Disciplinary Hearing 5.1 In any case which is referred for a Disciplinary Hearing, at least seven days’ notice in writing of the hearing and the offence(s) alleged shall be given to the player, or in the case of a Club, its secretary. All level 3 and 4 offences will result in a full hearing. 5.2 The Secretary to the Committee shall convene a hearing as soon as is 116 practicable and in any event within 21 days of the decision to refer. Any adjournments may be granted at the discretion of the Chairman of the Disciplinary Hearing. 5.3 The player and Club shall be entitled to make written statements before the hearing, attend the hearing, state their case (in the case of a Club by its Secretary of other official), to be supported by a colleague and to call witnesses. 5.4 If the player or Club is to have representation present at the hearing, then the details of that representation must be given to the Chairman of the Committee not less than 48 hours before the date of the hearing. 5.5 A Club or player involved in Disciplinary proceedings will be solely responsible for meeting such costs or expenses as it or they may incur, including the cost of any legal or other representation. 5.6 The hearing shall be conducted by the Committee, provided that none of the sitting members of the Committee shall be connected with the player, the Club, or their opponents, or a Club which might directly benefit from any disciplinary action, either at the time of the alleged breach or (as the case may be) at the date of the relevant hearing. 5.7 The standard of proof shall be on the balance of probabilities rather than the criminal standard of beyond reasonable doubt. 6 Penalties 6.1 As a guideline, the following penalties should be expected to be imposed for any complaint referred to the League and, if appropriate, proved at a Disciplinary Hearing. Level 1 Disciplinary Offence (L1DO) Automatic 2 week ban on third L1DO in two seasons. Level 1 (non-L1DO) 2 to 6 weeks Level 2 3 to 8 weeks Level 3 4 to 10 weeks Level 4 A minimum of 10 weeks 6.2 Where applicable, penalties will be carried over to apply in the following season. 6.3 If, at the hearing, the Committee finds any alleged offence or offences to have been proved it shall have the power to impose one or more of the penalties set out in regulations 6.4 and 6.5, together with such order or orders as to the payment of costs by any party or parties as is deemed to be appropriate. 6.4 In the case of a player 6.4.1 To require the player to submit appropriate letter(s) of apology within a specified time. The player’s failure to comply with such requirement shall be deemed to be conduct leading to a further complaint. 6.4.2 To record a reprimand and give warning as to future conduct. 6.4.3 To impose a fine. 6.4.4 To suspend the player from one or more matches, or for a stated period of time. 6.4.5 To deduct League points from the player’s team. 6.4.6 To expel the player from the League. 6.5 In the case of a Club 117 6.5.1 To require the Club to submit appropriate letter(s) of apology within a specified time. The Club’s failure to comply with such requirement shall be deemed to be conduct leading to a further complaint. 6.5.2 To record a reprimand and to give warning as to future conduct. 6.5.3 To impose a fine. 6.5.4 To deduct League points from the Club’s team(s). 6.5.5 To relegate to any lower division of the League or to the Cheshire Cricket Alliance. 6.5.6 To expel the Club from any competition of the League. 6.6 The Committee will take the following factors into account when determining the penalties to be imposed :- a. If the accused player/Club has pleaded guilty. In all cases and for all offences, an admission of guilt will almost certainly result in a lesser sentence being imposed than if the matter is contested – credit being given for the admission. Plainly, the extent of the credit to be given will depend upon all the circumstances of the case, including how early the admission of guilt is made, but, save possibly in the most trivial of cases, it will not normally be such as to change the nature of the penalty or to bring about total suspension of the penalty. b. The player’s previous Disciplinary record c. If the player is also the Captain d. The conduct of the player subsequent to him being warned and told that a report would be made e. If an Appeal is considered to be spurious 6.7 The Committee shall have the power to suspend the operation of any part, or all, of the penalty it imposes for such period and subject to such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate. 6.8 Suspensions will be imposed in weeks (7 days), commencing midnight Friday to midnight Friday and will normally apply to all matches played under the auspices of ECB during that time. 6.9 Decisions of the Committee (a finding that a complaint is proved or not proved or a decision on penalty) shall be by majority vote; where necessary the Chairman of the Committee shall have a casting vote. 6.10 The decision of the Committee shall be confirmed in writing to the club or the player (and his Club) as appropriate as soon as reasonably practicable. 7. Appeals Procedure 7.1 A player or Club shall have the right of appeal to the Appeals Sub- Committee (the Appeals Committee). Notice of Appeal setting out the grounds must be given in writing to the Secretary to the Appeals Committee within seven days of the decision of the Disciplinary Committee being communicated to the relevant player or Club as required by subparagraph 5.6, together with a deposit of £10. 7.2 If a Notice of Appeal is given no penalty or penalties imposed by the Committee to which the Notice shall relate shall take effect pending the hearing of any such Appeal, which shall take place as soon as practicable. 7.3 The Appeal shall be by way of re-hearing before the Appeals Committee. 118 None of the sitting members of the Appeals Committee shall be connected with the player, the Club or their opponents at the time of the alleged breach or (as the case may be) at the date of the relevant hearing. The player or Club shall have the same rights of attendance and representation, and to call witnesses as they had before the Committee. 7.4 If the player or Club is to have representation present at the Appeal hearing, then the details of that representation must be given to the Chairman of the Committee not less than 48 hours before the date of the hearing. 7.5 Non-attendance at an Appeal hearing by the Club or person that submitted the appeal, without good and valid reason for such non- attendance, will automatically result in forfeiture of their right of appeal. 7.6 The Appeals Committee may confirm, vary or reverse any decision of the Committee. In addition to exercising the power conferred on it under Regulations 6.4 & 6.5 of these Regulations, the Appeals Committee may require any relevant player or Club to pay the costs, or part of the costs, of any Appeal Hearing when it considers such requirements to be appropriate. Decisions of the Appeals Committee shall be by majority vote; where necessary the Chairman of the Appeals Committee shall have a casting vote. 7.7 The Appeals Committee shall have the power, where they consider an appeal to be without merit, to order the deposit to be forfeited to the League. 7.8 The decision(s) of the Appeals Committee or, if no appeal, of the Committee shall be final and binding. The decision shall be confirmed in writing. APPENDIX 1 – BREACHES OF DISCIPLINE Certain conduct, whether on or off the field of play of play, amounting to a breach of the Laws of Cricket and/or the Spirit of Cricket has been categorised into 4 levels which are set out below:- Level 1 • time wasting by either the fielding side or the batting side • abuse of the cricket ground, equipment or fixtures • showing dissent at an umpire’s decision by word or action, or persistent questioning of an umpire’s decisions and comment thereon – where this falls short of 2a) below • using language that is obscene, offensive or insulting and or the making of an obscene gesture, whether in self-frustration or at an umpire or player, at such a level as to be heard at or beyond the boundary thus bringing the game and the League into disrepute. NB it is acknowledged that there will be verbal exchanges between players in the course of play. Rather than seeking to eliminate these exchanges entirely, umpires will look to lay charges only when this falls below an accepted standard. • excessive or orchestrated appealing, including ‘ridiculous’ lbw appeals from a position where the fielder could not possibly make a considered appeal. • Premature ‘celebrations’ prior to an umpire’s decision • Gesturing/pointing towards the pavilion upon dismissal of the batsman, or any other form of aggressive ‘send-off’ • Any action(s) whatsoever considered by both umpires to be outwith the ‘Spirit Of the Game’ 119 Level 2 • showing serious dissent at an umpire’s decision by word or action • inappropriate and deliberate physical contact between players in the course of play • charging or advancing towards an umpire in an aggressive manner when appealing • deliberate and malicious distraction or obstruction on the field of play, regardless as to whether such conduct is deemed to be fair under law 42.5 • throwing the ball at or near a player, umpire or official in an inappropriate and dangerous manner • using language or gesture that is obscene or of a serious insulting nature to another player, umpire, team official or spectator • changing the condition of the ball other than as permitted by Law 42.3 • the bowling of fast short pitched balls that result in the bowler being disallowed from bowling further in that innings • causing avoidable damage to the pitch contrary to Laws 42.13 and/or Law 42.14 that results in a five run penalty being awarded Level 3 • intimidating an umpire • threatening to assault another player, team official or spectator • using language or gesture that offend, insult, humiliate, intimidate, threaten, disparage or vilify another person on the basis of that person’s race, religion, sexual orientation, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin • the deliberate bowling of any high full-pitched ball contrary to Law 42.8 Level 4 • threatening an umpire • physical assault of another player, umpire, official or spectator • any act of violence on the field of play • using language or gestures that seriously offend, insult, humiliate, intimidate, threaten, disparage or vilify another person on the basis of that person’s religion, sexual orientation, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin. The conduct listed in Level 1 to Level 4 above cannot be considered to be exhaustive. Appendix 2 - Model Regulations for Clubs Clubs must have their own Disciplinary Procedures. This Appendix contains the ECB’s suggested Template for such Procedures and Processes, dated August 2014. Appendix 2.1 Internal Club Enquiry A2.1.1 The club of its own volition and without any need for the receipt of a written complaint or other prompting shall, where any alleged case of conduct which is not fair and proper occurs as stated in Paragraph 1 above, or otherwise as the club may think fit, forthwith convene an Internal Club Enquiry. A2.1.2 The purpose of the Internal Club Enquiry shall be to establish the facts and, where appropriate, to take the necessary disciplinary action so as to ensure that the club does not fail properly to control or discipline its player or players and to ensure that the club acts in a manner designed 120 to protect the good name of the club and of cricket generally. A2.1.3 Any player requested to attend such an Internal Club Enquiry, or any Appeal therefrom, shall be entitled to be accompanied at the Enquiry by a friend or other representative. Appendix 2.2 Penalties A2.2.1 If the Internal Club Enquiry finds the misconduct proved, the club shall have the following powers: A2.2.1.1 To require the player to write letter(s) of apology within a specified time A2.2.1.2 To record a reprimand and to give a warning as to future conduct. A2.2.1.3 To impose a fine. A2.2.1.4 To suspend the player’s right to be considered for selection by the club to play in one or more matches. A2.2.1.5 To suspend the player’s membership of the club for a period. A2.2.1.6 If the conduct constitutes gross misconduct the club shall have the power to terminate the player’s membership forthwith. A2.2.2 The club for the same offence may, if it is thought fit, impose more than one of the above penalties. Appendix 2.3 Appeals Procedure A2.3.1 The player shall have the right to appeal to the President of the club or to the President’s nominee for a review of the findings of the Internal Club Enquiry and of the penalty or penalties imposed. A2.3.2 The decision of the President or his nominee in all cases shall be final and binding. Appendix 3 – Guidelines on the Conduct of Hearings and Appeals These ECB Guidelines do not replace or form part of the League’s Discipline Regulations, which should be read carefully by all those falling under their jurisdiction. Natural Justice The rules of natural justice are the minimum standards of fair decision-making imposed on persons or bodies acting in a judicial capacity. The standard of proof shall be on the balance of probabilities rather than the criminal standard of beyond reasonable doubt. The rules of natural justice consist of the following elements: (i) The right to a fair hearing (ii) The rule against bias. 1. The right to a fair hearing The right to a fair hearing requires that an individual shall not be penalised by a decision affecting his rights or legitimate expectations unless he has been given prior notice of the case against him and a fair opportunity to answer the case against him and to produce his own case. (a) Prior notice of the hearing The accused person should be given adequate notice of the allegations against him and of the procedure to be followed so that he may be in an position to make representations on his own behalf, to appear at the hearing, to prepare his own case and to answer the case against him. The time and location of the hearing must also be properly notified to the reported person. (b) Opportunity to be heard The reported person has a right to attend the hearing and be allowed to present his case. If the Disciplinary Panel is satisfied that the reported person 121 has been given adequate notice of the alleged breach and of the time and location of the hearing, they may allow the hearing to proceed if the reported person fails to attend.However, it may not be justifiable to proceed if the time or location fixed for the hearing is such that the person cannot reasonably be expected to attend. Within the Model Discipline Regulations it states that “at least seven days’ notice in writing of the hearing and of the offence(s) alleged shall be given to the player, or in the case of a club, its Secretary”. 2. The rule against bias A person adjudicating on a dispute must have no pecuniary or proprietary interest in the outcome of the proceedings and must not reasonably be suspected, or show a real likelihood, of bias. The rule against bias also provides that a party should not normally be judged by his accuser. Conduct of Hearing Within these Guidelines words importing the singular shall include the plural and vice versa, and those importing the male shall include the female, and vice versa. 1. A complaint is received by either the Chairman of the League or the Chairman of the League Disciplinary Committee who decides to refer the matter to a Disciplinary Hearing. 2. The Hearing is conducted by a minimum of three and a maximum of five persons (the Panel) appointed by either the Chairman of the League or the Chairman of the League Disciplinary Committee. No-one connected with the individual or the club, or their opponents, or a club which might directly benefit from any disciplinary action (e.g. by the deduction of points), should be a member of the Panel. 3. The accused person/club should be notified of the offence(s) alleged against him/ them and the time and location of the hearing. The notification should be in writing, include all relevant documentation and give at least seven days’ notice. 4. The accused person is entitled to be supported by a colleague. There is no right to legal representation but the Panel would normally permit the accused person to be legally represented. However, the attendance or otherwise of the legal representative should not be used as a ‘delaying tactic’. In the case of a minor it is recommended that he should be supported by the County Board/League Child Welfare Officer or other appropriate adult. 5. If the complaint has been made by the umpires, they should be available to give evidence at the hearing. 6. Witnesses should not be present in the room at the outset but should be called in individually to give their evidence at the appropriate time. (Ideally, a separate waiting area should be provided for each party). It is recommended that in the case of a minor attending to give evidence on behalf of either party he should be supported by an appropriate adult. 7. The Chairman should open the hearing and introduce all the parties. He should then briefly outline the procedure to be followed, specifying the standard of proof to be adopted. 8. The charges against the accused person/club should be specified. 9. Witnesses should be called individually and asked to give their evidence. The Panel may question the witnesses. The accused person (or
122 representative)/club may question the witnesses. 10. The accused person/club should be asked to give his/their account and may call witnesses. The Panel may question the witnesses. Once the witnesses have given their evidence and answered any questions, they should either leave the room or, with the permission of the Chairman, they may remain but should take no further part in the hearing. 11. The Panel may question the accused person/club. 12. The Panel should deliberate in private. The Panel’s decision should be by majority vote; where necessary the Panel Chairman shall have a casting vote. 13. The accused person/club should be called back in and the Panel should give their decision as to whether the case is proved or not proved. If proved, the accused person/club should be asked to give any mitigation which might affect the Panel’s decision as to sentence, if they have any discretion in this area. 14. The Panel should consider the sentence in private. 15. The accused person/club should be called back in and the Panel Chairman should announce the sentence. The accused person/club should be made aware of the Appeals Process, particularly the time within which an appeal should be lodged. 16. The decision of the Disciplinary Panel and if appropriate the penalty should be communicated to the accused person/club in writing within 21 days. Appeals Process 1. Notice of appeal against the decision of the Disciplinary Panel, whether as to verdict or sentence, to be given in writing to the Secretary of the League within 7 days of the decision of the Panel (together with a deposit of £X (to be set by the League) if appropriate). The notice of appeal should record the decision or part of the decision against which the appeal is made and the grounds and basis of the appeal. 2. Any penalty imposed by the Disciplinary Panel should not take effect until the appeal has been heard. 3. The appeal must be heard by a different Panel from those who sat on the original Disciplinary Panel.

BLOOD INJURIES The Executive Committee has considered the question of “blood injuries” on the field and has resolved that the following course of action should be followed:
1. If a player sustains a minor cut or graze which can be adequately treated quickly by the use of plaster, play should be suspended briefly to allow such treatment. 2. If a player is bleeding freely he will be instructed to leave the field of play for treatment. 3. In the case of a fielder he will be entitled to have a substitute at all times. 4. In the case of a batsman he will retire hurt and return at the fall of a later wicket or retirement of a later batsman. If he is one of the last batsmen at the wicket 10 minutes will be allowed for treatment, after which the innings will be deemed closed.

127 In the event of a match due to be covered by panel umpires being cancelled on Saturday morning, or before, it is the responsibility of the HOME CLUB CAPTAIN to telephone the appointed officials in order to prevent them travelling unnecessarily. The match expenses for 2017 have been fixed at £38 per umpire when acting as a pair and £56 for an umpire standing alone and should be paid, half by either captain, AT THE PRE-MATCH MEETING. The expenses for Twenty20 knock-out matches are £27 per umpire (£40 for an umpire standing alone.) PRE MATCH MEETING A pre match meeting will be held between captains and standing panel umpires at least 15 minutes before the scheduled or rescheduled start of play of any League or Twenty20 match at which the following should take place: • Supervision of the toss, the result of which must be recorded on the results sheet. • A fully completed team card to be presented to the umpires duly signed on the reverse. • Both match balls and any spares to be handed to the umpires. • The payment of umpires’ expenses for the match. • Clarification of over rate regulations and any local rules. • A clear statement of the umpires expectations in respect of behaviour based on The Spirit of Cricket as enshrined in the laws of the game. Umpires will advise captains that they are primarily responsible for their team’s behaviour and they will be reported along with any other individuals where it is felt necessary. • Confirmation of the appointed scorers and their position. In the event of either side not having a designated scorer batting side must ensure a minimum of 2 people to undertake scoring and updating the scoreboard throughout. • The umpires to reserve the right to a brief post match meeting with the captains when felt necessary. Umpires are to advise captains that games will not begin until all the above points have been carried out to their satisfaction. APPRAISAL OF UMPIRES FOR LEAGUE MATCHES Captains of both home and away teams must complete separate appraisal forms independently of each other, preferably on the day after the match and provided that a minimum of 25 overs play has taken place. It should be noted that appraisals will be between 4 (the highest) and 1 (the lowest). The mark for an acceptable performance without any particularly positive or negative incidents should be 3 (good). A mark of 4 (very good) should be reserved for umpires who have performed particularly well in the match and marks below 3 (average or below average) should only be used where umpires have fallen short of the required standard in any category or overall. If an umpire is given a mark of 1, 2 or 4 in any category, then the captain should provide reasons for his marks. Completed appraisal forms should be emailed to Chris Moore ([email protected]) within three days of the match. Please note online 128 forms are the preferred method and the email address only to be used if the online form is not available. Failure to submit the form within the specified time will result in a fine of £15 being levied. Captains should be objective when completing the report. It is designed so that the overall performance of the umpire can be assessed and not just the decision making. The information supplied helps with the development of umpires and improvement of their performance. Where umpires gain low marks in any category then this information may be used to provide further guidance or training. At the end of the season the marks are used to ‘grade’ umpires locally, are supplied to the ECB to assist in the further development of umpires and to make regional and national appointments. Communication – did the umpire? • Communicate effectively with the captains, players, and his colleague throughout the match? • Communicate effectively with the scorers and wait for response? • Conduct a pre-match discussion prior to the toss? • Obtain team sheets and match balls? • With colleague, raise any issues related to the match with the captains including ‘Spirit of Cricket’? • Have a polite and appropriate attitude throughout the match? Control of the match – did the umpire? • Ensure that the timings for the match and intervals were followed? • Ensure covers were used, if required? • Involve his colleague when it was necessary to speak to either captain? • Interpret ground, weather and light issues effectively? • Have a confident and positive manner throughout the match? Control of the players – did the umpire? • Deal effectively with any potential conflict situation? • Use common sense when dealing with players? • Allow the match to be played but have an appropriate level of intervention? • Apply the Laws of the Game and Spirit of Cricket effectively? Decision Making – did the umpire? • So far as you are aware, apply the Laws of Cricket correctly when making decisions? • Consider appeals in a calm and confident manner? • Make decisions consistently throughout the match? • Consult his colleague where necessary? • Have a consistent interpretation of wide balls, leg byes and no balls? • Get into position, at either end, in order to make correct decisions for No balls, Run outs or Short runs? • If utilised, manage a runner for an injured batsman effectively

132 The Ian Bishop Fair Play Award Sponsored by UKFast
The Fair Play Award is now sponsored by the League’s Main Sponsors, UKFast and we are delighted that from the Season (2016) it will be known as ‘The Ian Bishop Fair Play Award, Sponsored by UKFast’. This naming is in honour of our friend and colleague Ian Bishop, who sadly passed away in 2015. Ian’s contribution to Cricket at Hale Barns CC, with the League, and in his tireless efforts to lick the fledgling Cheshire (and the League’s) Umpires Associations into shape was immense. A great many of the Umpires standing in the Cheshire Leagues today attended Bish’s Umpires courses, benefitting from Ian’s wise counsel as well as learning how to implement the Laws. The concept of the Fair Play Award is to encourage teams to play the game within The Spirit of Cricket and reward those who most consistently do so, an aim very close to Ian’s heart. The following cash awards will be made to the three leading teams in the Fair Play Table.
Winners £300 Runners up £200 Third £100
Umpires in all 1st XI matches will jointly award a mark to each team according to the following criteria: The league will continue to be open to all First Teams. Umpires in all 1st XI matches will jointly award a mark to each team according to the following criteria: +5 -- Exceptional behaviour – the team playing the match within the true Spirit of Cricket +4 -- The team played the game in a good spirit and in an incident free manner. +3 -- The team played the game in good spirit but with incident. +2 -- The team played the game in less than good spirit and with incident. +1 -- The team created a generally antagonistic atmosphere. +0 -- The team’s behaviour was unacceptable. Marks given by umpires must be communicated promptly by email to Chris Moore (see page 127 for details)
