Fielding regulations will apply for the 2008 season in Cup matches.

7th December 2007 - Ground Update For 2008 Season

We will be playing the first 6 matches, or so, away from home & the 2nd XI will be playing these matches on Sundays as the pitch will not be ready.  When it comes to the return fixture, we cant reverse the fixture, as both teams cant play at home on the same day. The League have decided that once were able to play on our ground, the fixtures will continue as printed.  This will mean that we will be playing some teams twice on their ground in season 2008.
