Rules as follows:

Competition rules

• Entry fee of £30 per team.
• 5 overs per innings (maximum of 1 over per bowler).
• Batsmen retire on 30 and can return during the innings should all other wickets fall.
• Any wides – two runs and no extra ball (except in final over).
• Any no-balls – two runs plus any runs scored off the ball (no extra ball – except in final over).
• The team with the most runs wins the game. Should it be a tie, the team to lose the least wickets wins.

Competition format:

• 10 am welcome and briefing, 10.30 am start.
• To save time during innings, two games will run simultaneously (ie. When the first innings of a match ends, a second match will begin its first innings to save ‘changeover’ time. After that, the respective second innings will be played).
• Round robin group stage (4 teams per group) leading to semi-finals and then finals.
• The two bottom placed teams to play each other for the wooden spoon.
• Minimum of 3 games per team.
• Unlimited amount of squad members per team, however only six playing at a time.
• Match fee includes cricket tea (served from midday onwards).
• Barbeque available in the evening.
• Fully stocked bar.
• Lots of fun, a great setting and hopefully some good cricket!

Given that we can have any number of players on the squad and we get a minimum of 3 matches, we’ll try to give everyone who turns up a game. We’ll canvas for interest a bit closer to the date.
