With yet more rain impacting us all, we understand that some games will not be able to be played.
A reminder on the rules of the League Cup
In the event of no decision being reached in a match because of inclement weather, inability to rearrange a fixture before the deadline date, or for any other reason then in the last resort the decision shall be made by the toss of a coin between the two captains when both are present. In the event of the captains not being able to be present, the tossing of a coin shall be referred to the Committee. (N.B. If both captains wish to resolve the decision of the match by another means, e.g. bowling at stumps, then such a decision will be accepted by the Committee). It is also possible to rearrange such a fixture but this must be done within 14 days of the cancelled match.

If matches can’t be played tomorrow a club may decide to withdraw from the cup, there will be no penalty for this.
On Tuesday - we will see what position we are in and update all clubs after that.
Let’s hope for a dry week before week 1 of the league season.
