31st January 2012
Gentlemen,

2012 Fixtures 

It has proved abnormally troublesome since the introduction of leagues with an excess of 10 teams, and nigh on impossible, to match all sides on a home and away basis, thus resulting in an imbalance of games.  Hosting the Olympic Games within the area has resulted in further chaos, together with all X1 requesting deferments and non availability of grounds has proved “a bridge to far”

I list below the requests that we were unable to achieve, and further the double headers that have proved unavoidable.

Hainault 5th & 6th X1 on the 16th June
Stanford Le Hope 3rd & 4th X1 on the 17th July, although their 5th are away.
Pegasus 3rd & 4th X1 on the 28th July
Ilford 3rd & 4th on the 25th August
Southend on Sea 3rd & 4th X1 on the 1st September
Orsett 3rd & 4th X1 on the 1st September, although their 5th are away.

You may note that also several games are only 1 or 2 weeks apart and these at the start or the end of the season. 

Should any Clubs have extra ground availability in the above weeks, please contact relevant Club. 

Many thanks, 

Michael E Jones.

Message from the League Secretary

JEFF RODRIQUES COMPETITION

This competition was discussed at our recent committee meeting as a number of clubs were unhappy with the new format used in 2011.
The County have reduced the Under 16 Matchplay competition to smaller groups with 4 or 5 games instead of 9.
This should increase the availability of young players for other Sunday cricket.
We have decided to revert to the 40:40 format as for the league cup but with the following requirements.
At least 5 players must be Under 16
At least 5 players must be Over 40
The other player must be either Under 16 or Over 40
Batsmen must retire at a personal score of 30 (they can return once all players have batted)
This is to stop an adult player dominating the match
Bowlers may bowl a maximum of 8 overs
Please advise me by email if you wish to enter this competition (or not) as soon as possible and by the end of january at the latest.

 

UNDER 21 SUNDAY LEAGUE

A successful Under 21 League is being run south of the river.

We would hope to set up something similar in 2013

If clubs wish to take part in a small SNEL version based on the League Cup 40:40 rules this summer please advise me by email before the end of January
 

CLUB CONTACTS

Please complete up to date details of club contacts on the SNEL Website. This should include details of your bar manager so that Shepherd Neame can contact them directly.

 
PLAY CRICKET
Please take advantage of the winter break to update details of your player base on Play-Cricket. Please delete players no longer with your club and ensure addresses and dates of birth are correct. We have hundreds of players who seem to live at the clubhouse. A few players are less than ten years old and many were apparently born in 1900.

 
HANDBOOK DETAILS
Please respond to Andy Jenner as soon as possible remember there in a heavy fine for non-submission. As at last week's meeting less than half the clubs had responded.

 
20:20
Clubs must arrange all group 20:20 matches by the end of January and notify George Salmon so these can be entered on the website.

AGM Proposals 2011 Click for Word Format, Update to show Carried or Not Carried

Please see New Club Directory Click


All League Play-Cricket Overseas Registered Players have been removed from Play-Cricket.

Would Clubs please alter, add, delete & correct all their club members on play-cricket and also enter the addresses and correct information and not the Club Addresses which many are showing. During the Winter months prior to the new season, it is the best time to correct members information etc.

Play-Cricket Administrators: Would you please check your active playing members for duplications and if found match them to make the one player, it is better that clubs do it rather than the League. There are quite a few names showing more than once with different ID numbers. Also, if clubs wish to have anything altered on the details of playing members ie Address, DOB etc., then please email me with the correct details. It seems strange that we have a lot of players with 1st April (April Fools Day) as DOB.

When a match is cancelled etc., it requires an explanation in the highlights section on Play-Cricket.
When a match marked as Abandoned do not enter any points, they are entered automatically.
If shown Drawn (Abandoned as a Draw) then enter points in excess of 6 only.

Would clubs please make sure all that all playing members are registered on their club Play-Cricket site prior to the 1st round of the League Cup. It will save a lot of hassle later.

If clubs, who require the names etc., of players altered or corrected to let me know prior to the 2010 season by sending an email to me with the relevant information. I believe the ECB have now stopped individual clubs from altering them.

PLAY-CRICKET STATS. Would clubs please ensure that all unsure players showing in their match scorecards are updated/corrected to the correct names. The statistics for these players marked as unsure will not be correct. I am able at anytime to unlock any matches that are required to be unlocked at a clubs request. email me at essexcricket@btopenworld.com

MOST IMPORTANT
Clubs who are using Total Cricket Scorer and then uploading to Play-Cricket please read the Following from Play-Cricket Administrator Chris Higginbottom. Some players statistics will not show up as their names have either been duplicated, entered spelt differently or for another reason. the quote from Chris is below. Please ensure that you carry this out correctly.

The reason for this is that the scorers are not following the instructions from TCS correctly. They MUST  download the players from BOTH clubs' site databases before EVERY game, rather than use the ones already in their computer, which may have different IDs to those in the play-cricket system. It is also incumbent on the clubs to ensure that their site databases are correctly maintained, with only one entry per player, so that there is no possible confusion over which entry to use

 

The upload, which is via TCS, not play-cricket, simply uploads everything using the IDs in their machine, which if they have not done the above may be incorrect, bypassing LRP restrictions and creating the situation that you are seeing.

 

The solution for the games where this has already happened is to get them to manually edit the scorecards if possible. Otherwise it will be a case of delete and recreate the fixture, and they will have to enter it all again manually - a cathartic exercise that usually ensures that they don't make the mistake again!

ALL INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND ON THE LEAGUE WEBSITE AT:
http://www.essexcricket.com/pages/play-cricket.htm
The information below might help those Club Administrators who may require it.
Admin then
Members then change Role to League Registered and click search then
Click the Hat to the right of the names then
League registered players and then fill in the details of the players as required.
You can use the Club address as the home if you do not know it and also the DOB can be something that can be altered later by myself when you know the actual date. Please send me the list as names, club and correct DOB when known.
You can also enter them into Squads which will make for ease of use when entering the scorecards. Player can be in more than one Squad.

It would help immensely if Club Play-Cricket Administrators would delete members who are no longer with their clubs

Any Club Administrators that are finding problems in Registering Players as 'League Registered Players' can contact me on:
01375 387442. If players are not 'League Registered' at the start of the season all clubs will find it difficult if not impossible to enter Scorecards onto play-cricket.

Results/Scorecards are being entered very well by clubs with very few exceptions.
Here are a few notes I should remind club administrators.
1. An unsure name on the result sheet should not occur, their are or have been a few this week.
2. After entering the scorecard information ensure you tick the box provided.
3. The other club, usually the away club checks the information and also ticks the box to say they confirm the information.
4. I should only lock the results/scorecards when both ticks are in place.
5. Please ensure bowling and batting analysis is entered for statistics at end of season. It is up to clubs to decide if they want more information than that.
6. If a club calls off a match due to not being able to raise a side etc. this information must be entered in the highlight section after the other team has entered 'won batting first'. Both clubs still need to tick their appropriate boxes.
7. Only enter Bonus Points. All others are automatic from what you put as the result.
8. It was the public side of play-cricket that had the problem yesterday 17th May. Therefore if it should occur again, check your club admin page at:
http://sitename.play-cricket.com/admin/admin.asp This will then ensure that you can enter the information

 

TO ALL SHEPHERD NEAME CLUBS
OVERSEAS PLAYERS

All overseas players must be registered prior to week 5.
Can all clubs please thoroughly check that all their overseas players are always registered correctly each season

CATEGORY 3:

Any player resident for less than 4 years prior to the start of the season is Overseas Category 3

CATEGORY 3 EXEMPT:

Any overseas player who has been resident in this country for at less than 4 years prior to the start of the season is classified as overseas exempt. Appropriate forms downloadable from the website must be submitted to back up a request for exempt status. Play-Cricket will show these players as Category 3 Exempt with country of birth and date of entry to UK for residence purposes.

CATEGORY 1

Any player born overseas but who has been resident for more than 4 years is now classified as a Category 1 Player but the correct country of birth and date of entry for residence purposes still needs to be shown
Where an overseas player has gained exemption by being resident for the 18 month period and then leaves the UK for a period greater than the qualifying limit he will not automatically lose his exempt status if he can prove he is still ordinarily resident in the UK. This should be by evidence through bank statements and utility bills and preferably by evidence from his employer. Each case will be treated individually and an explanation of the period out of the country should be sent to me. This will cover players who have to return to their original country to sort out family affairs or have an extended holiday etc. It will not cover someone who lives six months in Australia for example and six months in the UK and has properties in both countries.

Contact Cliff Greenhill or George Salmon if you need any clarification.

Club Play-Cricket Administrators Please Note:
If a team is playing with less than 11 players, please enter it in the highlights section of the summary result, as they will be shown as unsure and therefore point deductions may be applied.
Please enter in the highlights section the overs in a rain affected match as this can affect the points.
When a club is unable to raise a side and the other club enters won batting first would they also put in the highlights club name 'unable to raise a side'
I have and will lock the Play-Cricket result/scorecards that have been ticked by both clubs. (It would help a lot if both clubs TICKED to say scorecards are correct.)
I will remove the tick if a club has an unsure player showing and will not lock the scorecard until corrected. Unsure is not acceptable as a players name.
By Fridays I will lock all Results and Scorecards that are correct with no unsure etc., players showing.
The unsure players showing on scorecards will remain open until corrected. Clubs should let me know when these are corrected or tick the box on you club site as I will then lock the Scorecards

Club Play-Cricket Administrators Please Note:
Would the clubs in the Friendly League please enter the result on Play-Cricket to set the League table correct. No penalty points are in being and it is up to clubs whether they wish to enter the scorecard.
If a team is playing with less than 11 players, please enter it in the highlights section of the summary result, as they may show as unsure
If marking a playing member as CAT 1 and not born in UK, a date MUST be showing in the 'Date Last Entered UK'

CLUB PLAY-CRICKET ADMINISTRATORS ARE AGAIN REMINDED TO TICK THE APPROPRIATE BOX ON THE RESULTS/SCORECARD ENTRIES ON THEIR PLAY-CRICKET SITES TO SHOW THEY HAVE READ AND BOTH CLUBS AGREE. IT WILL NOT BE LOCKED UNTIL BOTH TICKS ARE SHOWING.

A FIVE POINT DEDUCTION IF A SCORECARD SHOWS AN UNSURE PLAYER ON PLAY-CRICKET (ON FOLLOWING FRIDAY AM) AS FROM 2012 SEASON.

LETTER FROM THE LEAGUE CHAIRMAN TO ALL CLUBS - Click 


Statement from the SNEL Executive Committee regarding Ongar CC


UPDATED LEAGUE STATEMENT REGARDING WALTHAMSTOW CC - 22nd July 2011

Statement from the Shepherd Neame Essex League Executive Committee

At midnight on Thursday 14th July Walthamstow Cricket Club were expelled from the Shepherd Neame Essex League (SNEL).
Walthamstow CC have decided not to appeal against this penalty.
Therefore their expulsion will take effect immediately and they will not be playing any further fixtures in the SNEL nor in any other competitions organised by the SNEL.
Walthamstow CC have been summoned before the Disciplinary Committee on two occasions during the 2011 season.
Both of these hearings related to breaches of Regulation 12.3 of the Organisation and Playing Conditions of the SNEL related to overseas players (Page 33 of the SNEL Rules handbook).The first hearing on Thursday 2nd June 2011 found Walthamstow guilty of playing 2 overseas players in 13 matches in SNEL 1st XI Division Three during the 2010 season. This however was subject to an appeal.
The second hearing on Tuesday 5th July 2011 found Walthamstow guilty of playing 2 overseas players in 13 matches in SNEL 1st XI Division Two during the 2009 season. However during investigations into the second breach of this regulation it became apparent that club officials had falsified information on an ECB overseas player registration form and a SNEL overseas exempt form and forged a player's signature on two occasions without that player's knowledge.
Walthamstow CC admitted these latter two offences and declined to attend this second hearing.
The SNEL Disciplinary Committee considered this second offence to be most serious, and that the club should be expelled from the SNEL.

The SNEL Executive Committee met on Wednesday 20th July to consider the impact on current league positions and promotion and relegation at the end of the 2011 season.

It was decided that all statistics for games played against Walthamstow CC would remain on the play cricket website. All matches played or to be played against all Walthamstow CC teams would be conceded and the teams awarded 20 points for each match. It was also decided that any points deductions related to any games against Walthamstow CC would stand. The league tables have now been updated on play cricket. All clubs that still have remaining fixtures vs Walthamstow CC need to enter 'Conceded by Walthamstow CC' on play cricket once that fixture has passed. It is not possible to do this on play cricket for matches in the future.

It was also decided that the following amendments would be made to the relegation of teams at the end of the 2011 season.

1st XI Division Two - Only one team will be relegated.

2nd XI Division Two - Only one team will be relegated.

3rd XI Division Two - Only one team will be relegated.

4th XI Division One - Only one team will be relegated.

4th XI Division Two - Only one team will be relegated.

This will leave a vacancy in Division Three of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th XIs.

An advert requesting applications from clubs to fill the vacancy left by Walthamstow CC's expulsion will appear on this website and the ECCB website in the next week.

Following a number of queries from many clubs and individuals we have put together a list of Frequently Answered Questions below:-

1) There is a concern that clubs that have a gap in their fixtures will strengthen their lower XIs. What will the SNEL do to deter this? There will be instances in the remainder of the 2011 season where a club's higher XIs may not have fixtures. All SNEL clubs are reminded to abide by the Spirit of Cricket, and should therefore select all their teams as if all XI's had a fixture. The SNEL Committee retain the right to investigate any breaches of the Spirit of Cricket with regard to team selection and to impose appropriate penalties.

2) Can SNEL clubs still retain their fixtures vs Walthamstow CC as friendlies for the remainder of the season? Yes, but this would be for the two clubs to arrange between each other.

3) Can Walthamstow CC players transfer to other SNEL clubs? Yes, but this would be subject to SNEL rule 15. a. on Page 34 of the SNEL rules handbook. Any player that represented Walthamstow CC on Saturday July 9th (WEEK 10) would NOT be eligible for transfer to another SNEL club.

4) Are Walthamstow CC Junior teams affected by this decision? No, the expulsion only applies to SNEL competitions and not any other senior or junior competitions that Walthamstow CC may compete in.

5) If a club's 1st or 2nd XI were due to be playing at home to Walthamstow CC, can they move their home 3rd/4th XI fixture to their 1st XI home ground? Yes

Laws of Cricket 2000 (Code 4th Edition 2010) (73 KB) New for 2011
 

After our Essex 60+ v Victorian Australian 60+ X1 at North Stifford in September, Fred Taylor the Belhus C.C. Chairman received an email from John Hammer the Aussie Tour Manager, advising he is back in March with a 70+ squad, he also advised that many counties have already agreed fixtures and he wants to know about Essex. Fred believes this is too good an opportunity to miss out on. Fred is very willing to help out and is looking for a response from anyone in the County who would like to be involved in an Essex Over 70's XI for 2011.

The link below is a new website set up by the CCC webmaster for clubs to arrange their own last minute fixtures, you can at present link you own clubs to it and the fixture secretaries will be able to register themselves eventually. You can view it at present and as I stated can already link your own clubs to it. Take a look it appears to be very good. I have also linked it on the menu list near the bottom and one click will take you there.

Fielding Circles 50/50 Matches

These are a requirement for all 50 over matches in the Premier League. It was noted on a number of occasions last season the inner 'catching' circle was missing. If the home side fails to mark this adequately they will be reported and subsequently penalised.
Results/Scorecards are being entered very well by clubs with very few exceptions.
Here are a few notes I should remind club administrators.
1. An unsure name on the result sheet should not occur, their are or have been a few this week.
2. After entering the information ensure you tick the box provided.
3. The other club, usually the away club checks the information and also ticks the box to say they confirm the information.
4. I should only lock the results/scorecards when both ticks are in place.
5. Please ensure bowling and batting analysis is entered for statistics at end of season. It is up to clubs to decide if they want more information than that.
6. If a club calls off a match due to not being able to raise a side etc. this information must be entered in the highlight section after the other team has entered 'won batting first'. Both clubs still need to tick their appropriate boxes.
7. Only enter Bonus Points. All others are automatic from what you put as the result.
8. It was the public side of play-cricket that had the problem yesterday 17th May. Therefore if it should occur again, check your club admin page at:
http://sitename.play-cricket.com/admin/admin.asp This will then ensure that you can enter the information
