A welcome increase to 29  participating teams, with the welcome return of Sussex

teams in both the U160 and U140 Divisions



Full details of all Match Captains will be circulated within the next day or two, and

will also be published on the SCCU Website. If any MC does NOT wish their details

to appear on the Website, please advise either me or the SCCU Webmaster as a

matter of urgency.



All relevant Rules are already published on the SCCU Website and I urge ALL Match

Captains, particularly those new in post, to read and digest  them.



Some “Guidance Notes” for Match Captains and updated “Thoughts on Venues” will

also be circulated shortly and published via the Website


At this stage all the fixtures should be regarded as provisional.



I received a number of requests to avoid certain dates and I have tried to accommodate

such requests, although this has not been possible in every case



If any fixture(s) are completely impossible please contact the opposing Match Captain to

re-arrange on a mutually convenient date, letting both me and Richard Haddrell know the
details once finalised

Best Wishes to all for a successful and enjoyable season. Any problems, just say
