No
website for a few hours
For
all those that were concerned about the lack of the website for
a few hours on Tuesday, the reason was fairly simple. It was a fault
at UKHosts.com, who have the parent server, someone turned us off
in error. A quick phone call and all was put back to normal.

No
success at Halstead
The
League's Over 50's and Over 60's teams were both in action at Halstead
on Wednesday but neither team could fashion a win. The Over 50's
were soundly beaten by the Halstead Seniors XI by seven wickets,
and the Over-60's XI held Suffolk Over 60's to a draw.
Coggeshall
Town Cricket Week

Coggeshall
Cricket Club are holding their Cricket Week in mid-July, all are
welcome to attend, for further details call Andy on 07919 023442
Ex-England
XI at East Bergholt CC
The
Ex-England XI are playing at East Bergholt on Friday August 28th.
Already confirmed for the England XI are Neil Foster, Peter Such,
Paul Jarvis, Mark Illot, John Lever, Phil De Freitas, Nick Knight,
Devon Malcolm, and the current England Ladies captain, Charlotte
Edwards. For further information click this link http://www.eastbergholtcc.com/cricketfestival.htm

Results
and the telephones
Again
can I remind all Captains that there are three phone numbers that
can be used for phoning the results through, I would request that
more of you use one of the two mobile numbers as neither has any time
limits and too many through to my home number and the recording space
fills up and all you get is a message saying that this is an answering
machine, but you are unable to leave the result. Can all Club Secretaries
remind any new captains that they must get someone to phone the results
through as usually the start of each season not all are aware of their
responsibilities.
Braintree
CC 2nd and 3rd XI home matches
Most
of Braintree 3rd XI's home Division 8 matches will be played at
Shalford Cricket Club's ground, but there will be occasions when
the 2nd XI will play there, and the 3rd XI will play on the clubs'
home ground. The fixture lists for Divisions 6 and 8 will indicate
if the match is being played at Shalford once the club has arranged
which fixtures will change.
Statistical
link
Mel
Phair has sent me this link which should take players to the League's
stats for the season. Mel asks if we can be informed if there are
any errors or omissions. So to see just clink on the following link:

Games
We
have just added an online cricket game to our site - and created
a Two Counties League. It's basically a catching challenge, and
is complete with a Two Counties League Table for the best performers.
I thought you may like to link to the game from your site.
The address is
http://brockleycc.com/brockley_new/cricket_game.htm
You
can also link to the league table if you like :

Administrative
pages
Gill
Denny has requested that we add an Administrative Page to the website
so that Club Officials can instantly see the important dates for
submitting entries, or making payments, and such like. The Link
for this page has now been added to the panel on the left.
Mistley
looking for ladies
Mistley
CC are in the process of forming a ladies team, interest so far
is good but we would welcome more players to swell the numbers and
allow us to get some friendlies underway; if you are interested
please contact the club via e mail mistleycc@aol.com
or robin@mills3358.freeserve.co.uk
Players of all abilities are most welcome.
Photos
I
would like to be able to publish more photos on the web-site during
the course of the season, whether they be team groups or actions
shots. I did not have any pics sent to me of last seasons' various
champions and so have been unable to update the opening page to
the site. So please send them in via e-mail, the link for which
is further down the page, and also add a caption as to what the
shot is, and the players names thereupon. Thanks very much.
All
the news, results and tables on your mobile
Anyone
with a wap enabled mobile phone can now access these pages there
upon. Just go to www.twocounties.com/news and you will get this
page, and all the links will lead you to the other pages.
Please
ensure I receive the correct scores
Quite
a number of times the scores being telephoned through to me are slightly
incorrect, and the wrong points therefore being awarded until such
time as I receive notification of an amendment. More than a few times
I can tell that the caller does not have the completed score sheet
in front of him or her when calling, and I assume they ended up guessing
either the score or the number of wickets to have fallen. Also on
occasions I have only been given the winning margin and the points,
and no scores whatsoever. It is not a hard job to relay the correct
information and each call need not take anymore than 30 seconds. Can
callers also please remember to hang up their phones when they have
finished.
Club
links page
I
have updated the clubs links page as much as I can, if any other
the links need updating then could someone from the club contact
me with the revised details sr.isaac@btclick.com
Have
Your Say message board returns
I
am pleased to announce that the Have Your Say forum will return
for the new season. It will be edited by Rick Jones, and all comments
should be posted to him on rickjones@ntlworld.com.

Isaac
Just
how well this web site functions
is also very much down to the individual clubs as I would like to
receive news of the matches and the clubs from individuals within
the clubs. So please nominate someone in your club to act as your
representative to forward such to me via e-mail. I would like to
know about outstanding performances, strange events during matches,
well you know the sort of thing we can put on the web site.
Your input is extremely important, whether it comes from a club,
an individual, or the General Committee itself. So please just mail
me via the link below.
