Colleagues,

The ECB have re-issued their directives/guidelines on U13 and below playing in open age Cricket. At our Exec Meeting tonight The SCCC have adopted these directives/ guidelines

1. Any player in Year 7 or below ( Under 12 at midnight on 31st August in the year preceding the current season ) cannot play in open age cricket with or without explicit written consent.

2.The guidelines will allow junior players in Year 8 at school ( Under 13 at midnight on 31st August in the year preceding the current season)to play in open age cricket providing 'Explicit Written Consent' to play in open age cricket has been obtained prior to play.

The SCCC will now no longer accept a registration for a player in school year 7 or below and they are not eligible to play in the SCCC. Any current registrations should be viewed as cancelled, even if the players name appears on the SCCC play- cricket web site.
These guidelines will be in the 2010 Handbook.

Copies of all ECB Guidance documents can be found on the ECB web site at

If anyone requires any further information please do not hesitate to contact me

Kind Regards

Kevin Herbert

Hon Secretary.
