1 2017 Junior Competitions in GMCL Junior Committee Greater Manchester Cricket League Ltd February 2017

2 Greater Manchester Cricket League Introduction After a good first year where we pulled together junior competitions for 149 teams across the region from scratch we have completed a review of what we did and how it went and looked at how we can make it bigger, better and stronger for 2017 and beyond. The strength will now come from an improved structure behind the competitions with a junior committee brought together to work with age group administrators, junior inter league team managers and the club managers in the competition to make sure GMCL is doing everything it can to produce a quality competition and opportunity for development. With so many teams in the competition we have the flexibility to offer a variety of competitions, the flexibility to have options for playing days where a number of clubs choose the same days and the flexibility to allow clubs to select their level of involvement where they have low numbers at one age group or high numbers at another. The competition is made better by the breadth of competition on offer and number of prizes on offer supplemented by individual prizes for our best players. For 2017 we have more teams, a small increase to 156, but we believe we now have the organisation to manage change year on year irrespective of the moves that take place at senior league level, which for 2018 are looking more and more likely. We continue to welcome clubs from other senior leagues and support already existing junior leagues in which our own clubs are members and we will stick firmly to these principles in the coming seasons as we strive to make this the best junior competition available in the region. This document will remain available through the season via the website. Wishing you a successful 2017, GMCL Junior Committee Contents: - GMCL Junior Rules Junior Competitions Entrants League Fixtures Cup Draws

10 Report on the Output of the Junior Committee determining Junior Fixtures for the 2017 Season The committee identified some areas of weaknesses but also the strengths of last year s games and fixture programme and wanted to resolve the problems to deliver an improved product for the larger number of entries received for this year s age groups. The key changes are: - Junior cups finals days semi-finals and finals at one venue to make for a memorable occasion and big event for the players and clubs involved, finals to be played in July Set league fixture days to avoid fixture congestion Playing night options for clubs and local arrangements New Pairs Comp for Under 13 clubs who prefer this form of the game No Monday Bank Holiday games No Tuesday or Thursday games in the North and West of the region for most teams No Thursday games in the Tameside Area No games fixtured after end of school summer term Fixture break to help with 18s and exams All leagues ensure that all teams in a division play each other. The smaller divisions give room for clubs to organise their own games and tournaments in August / September, potential for Big Bash style events and games and local derby mini tournaments. In the Under 9 competitions there are multiple games against the same teams and everyone plays each other at least twice but the number varies to get the fixture dates used. Loan Players It was agreed that the Loan Player system hadn t worked particularly well at Junior Level and therefore changes would be made as follows There should be no loans taken from clubs outside the league Clubs should make every effort to sign players full time to their club. Loans can be made with GMCL clubs but opponents must be notified and their agreement sought for the loan in advance of arrival for the game, it may be that the opponents have players available. The same loan players should not be brought in regularly to boost the team. Loan player system should be used to ensure that the club can get a full team out. Lancs KO GMCL will again support clubs taking part in the Lancashire Cricket Board Junior Club competition and continue support with funding and organisation of the GMCL inter-league sides. GMCL Inter League Teams Under 12 & Under 14 There are 4 inter-league fixture dates on Sunday afternoons 14 May, 28 May, 16 July, 30 July So, working around the Inter league fixtures and LCB finals in July we have two dates available: - 23 July when we will play the Under 11 semi-finals and final at one venue and the Under 15 semi-finals and final at another venue. 9 July when we will play the Under 13 semi-finals and final at one venue and the Under 18 semi-finals and final at another venue. On 9 th July, there are Sunday League fixtures and the 3 rd XI Cup quarter finals and on the 23 rd July, there are 1 st and 2 nd XI Cup semi-finals and Sunday League games. We will be looking for hosts for these 4 finals days from clubs competing in our junior competitions.

11 From here we line up the dates for the cup competitions at each age group and build the league fixtures around these dates. There are almost a thousand fixtures in total including preliminary cup rounds, please let us know if there are any clashes (home/away) by ing GtrMcrCricket@mail.com All contact with the league should be by , with 156 teams it is impossible for us to issue a phone number for one of our volunteers.
