Feb 22 2012

Following their Appeal, Kashmir were reinstated to the League but were relegated to Division B by the Appeals Committee.  As a consequence of this, fixtures for all except Division C have now been released.

The League has received a late application for Division C but we are still awaiting some final details and the club in question have been set a deadline of this weekend (26th Feb) to submit the required information.  If it is not received then fixtures for 6 clubs playing each other 3 times will be released early next week, otherwise the Division will have 7 clubs and form part of the normal fixture grid.

Play Cricket site will have the fixtures updated shortly.
