1. On receipt of the
fixture lists, it is the responsibility of
the home team to contact the away team and
agree a date within the stated week
commencing. Two dates should be offered and
one agreed to. During a Shield Week,
clubs are expected to play their scheduled
Shield/Plate matches. This does not prevent
clubs from playing League matches during
this week but the Shield must take
precedence. Additional matches may be
organised through the Fixture Bureau.
2. It is the responsibility of the winning
manager to put the match details on the
Play-Cricket website.
4. A club shall be eligible if its ground
is based, or it draws its players from,
within the county borough boundaries of:-
Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Newport,
Monmouthshire, Torfaen. It may enter more
than one team in an age group and name its
teams A, B etc. (in descending order of
merit). A club may be entered from outside
this area provided this has been agreed at
the Annual Meeting of Clubs. A player who
is a member of any final County or National
Squad, and has played for a club’s A team
twice, may not play for its B team in the
same age group. (In the event that a club
has more of such players than places in the
A team then they may play in the B team. The
same may happen for players in the first
year of their age group who will not get a
chance to perform regularly in their A team.
The club shall notify the League Organiser
if this is likely to arise.)
5. A player, who must be
a bona fide junior member, may represent a
club provided he is under the age of 11, 13
or 15 at midnight on 31st
August 2017 of the Competition
except as provided for by the Under 15
Playing Condition No 1. A player may play
for one or more age groups provided the
above birth date requirement is satisfied.
No player may play for more than one club in
a season unless at an age group where the
player’s normal club has not entered a team.
A player wishing to move club during a
season may only do so with the approval of
both clubs.
6. Girls will be deemed
to be one year younger than their actual
age. However, if they are members of a
Cricket Wales (or English County Board)
Squad they are subject to the same
conditions as the boys in Rule 5. Girls,
who are not National Squad Players, are
allowed to play in mixed teams two years
below their age group i.e. U13 Girls (Y8) to
be allowed to play U11 Cricket and U15 Girls
(Y10) to be allowed to play U13 Cricket.
Also, if any girl plays in a club’s girls’
team she may only play in one mixed team for
the same club, or one at another club, but
not both.
7. Organisation shall be
the responsibility of Gwent Young
Cricketers. All decisions reached by the
Organiser will be final. Clubs are accepted
into the League on the understanding that
they comply fully with the ECB guidelines on
the wearing of helmets and child welfare and
that the League shall have no liability
whatsoever for anything that happens before,
during or after any match.
