Good Evening All
The above rule covers Match Length/ Bowling restrictions and several enquiries relating to those issues have been reported to the Executive and Umpires Association for clarification.
The first paragraph refers to match length. Please note that it states the MATCH will consist of 90/80/70 overs. Therefore any unused overs from the first innings WILL be carried over into the second innings.
So taking Div 1/2 as an example. If a side is bowled out in the 40th over the opponents have 50 overs (45 + 5).
This will impact on the maximum number of overs any bowler can bowl in the second innings. Paragraph 3 deals with this issue and states 'No bowler may bowl MORE than one fifth of the overs in an innings'
Therefore in the above example bowlers may bowl up to a maximum of 10 overs.
The rule also states that part of an over will count in the maximum number of overs a bowler can bowl.
Therefore, if the number of overs in the second innings (or if the match is reduced in length due to delayed start) results in a number not divisible by 5 the decimal point MUST be round down
This ensures that the bowler does not bowl more than one fifth of the overs.
The match between PCCC and the SWCA plannedSunday 30th May 2021 - SWCA at Kilgetty CC has been postponed and will be rearraged later in the season.
150 Club monthly draw winners can be found here.
Good Day Ladies/Gentlemen,
The long awaited resumption of league cricket is nearly upon us. May we take this opportunity to wish all teams the very best.
Please ensure you are up to date with all the restrictions concerning numbers and in particular to the section on spectators.
Can you also inform your players/members to be careful what they put on social media. we do not want all the hard work of Cricket Wales/ECB to be undone by careless comments put on social media.
we will inform clubs of any changes to the playing conditions as soon as we receive them.

Indoor League Draw 2020/2021
Good Morning Everyone
I write on behalf of the County Executive to advise you that after interrogating the Cricket Wales Guidelines (29 pages) of it you will be pleased to know that we can play Indoor Cricket In Pembrokeshire this year. You may be aware in other areas this is not possible due to Lock Down measures. As such at this stage the winner will not progress further( Things Might Change).
After consulting our Organiser Peter Davies davispeter15@sky.com, 07833115445, we have decided to run it on a Monday night at the New Neyland Hub 6pm to 9pm.
Whilst we had a truncated Cricket season the interest has been tremendous. With not many other sports being played we have an opportunity to carry on playing Cricket. Peter will be the main contact and draw up the fixtures.
You will be pleased to know that The Pembrokeshire Groundsman Association have agreed to continue their sponsorship. To help and support you in what will be the inaugural season of the competition at Neyland, the County have agreed to keep the costs to a minimum. As such if we can get away without charging teams we will this year. However this will depend on the number of clubs that enter and such there might have to be a nominal cost.
The new hall is getting busy and I must ask you to let Peter and I know if you wish to enter your clubs into this year's competition by Friday 23rd October so the hall can be booked accordingly. We would then look to start the competition in November. Amalgamated sides will be allowed if you are struggling to get teams, but if the winner does go forward to any Welsh Finals, obviously they would not qualify.
If demand is great we may have to limit entry to one club per side unless you have entered a number of teams previously. Please ensure if you do enter you have enough players to fulfil all your fixtures in case of the odd person being unavailable, However if you do have more than one team let us know and we try to accommodate it.
You will be aware from Welsh Cricket Guidelines you will have to fill in a risk assessment which I will forward to you when entered. I will also forward you the hub Covid-19 Risk assessment with regard to Cricket ,The terms and conditions and Emergency procedures .
It would be great to have more numbers this year to carry on the momentum from the season and Peter and I look forward to hearing from you shortly
Kind Regards,
Martin Jones

Harrison Allen Bowl semi-finals:
St Ishmaels v Neyland at Haverfordwest
Burton v Haverfordwest at Pembroke Dock
Cricket in Pembrokeshire starts in earnest on Saturday. I strongly remind you to read the protocols and guidance previously circulated from Cricket Wales and the Welsh Government. Also, the Cricket Development Officer Martin Jones has emailed all clubs reminding them to follow the rules.
You are reminded that spectators are not allowed, only those who have a genuine need are allowed to be present (Such as a parent of a young player).
We are the only county in Wales playing our own competition and it stands to reason that many eyes will be upon us. A failure to obey these protocols may result in costly legal proceedings against clubs and could conceivably result in all Cricket in Wales being halted.
THE RULES ARE IN PLACE FOR A REASON. PLEASE ABIDE BY THEM.

The Pembroke County Cricket Club are pleased to announce that we have a new sponsor for the Harrison-Allen Cup competition.
Blas y tir (Puffin Produce Ltd) have kindly agreed to sponsor the competition. We thank them for this sponsorship in these difficult times and look forward to a long association. |
The Pembrokeshire ACO are pleased to confirm they will be running the Alan Brown Cup this season. The preliminary rounds and semi finals will be played on the week commencing 27th July, The draw remains the same as in the County handbook.
The final will be arranged when a suitable date and venue have been agreed so as to not impinge on County fixtures.
Our thanks go to participating teams who have agreed to play and we wish them all a successful tournament.

2020 Season Update
The executive would like to thank all Clubs for their responses to the questionaire concerning the playing of cup matches and junior leagues.
The executive is now proactively working with Clubs to try and find the best solution for Cricket in Pembrokeshire. We are now waiting for guidance from both the Welsh Government and Cricket Wales/ECB concerning the playing of recreational cricket and will update clubs as soon as it is available.
The next announcement from the Welsh Government is on Friday 10th July and the Executive are meeting again on the 13th July.
The Executive can meet earlier should the Government and Cricket Wales make any announcements before that date.'

2020 Season Update
'On Friday the Welsh Government eased the restrictions placed on us all whilst this pandemic is still active. However, these are very limited and the social distancing remains in place along with the restrictions placed on meeting people from outside your household. A further restriction is placed on travel limited to 'as a rule of thumb' 5 miles. The ECB and Cricket Wales released their latest bulletins on Friday and recreational Cricket remains suspended indefinitely.
The next Welsh Government announcement is not due until 18th June and given their stated intention to proceed cautiously it is extremely doubtful restrictions will be lifted to enable recreational cricket to be played by the 27th June which is the half way point of our fixtures.
It is with sadness therefore that the Executive have made the decision to cancel league cricket for this season. It is hoped that should circumstances allow cup fixtures can be played in August.
Junior Cricket is also cancelled, however, if circumstances allow some form of Junior Cricket could be played later in the year.
I also refer you to the email I circulated from Keri which deals with friendly fixtures with other clubs from different leagues within South/West Wales'

When groundsmen are working alone at the ground, can you please inform someone that you are at the club and please keep in regular contact with someone to keep safe.
Coronavirus Update
The outbreak and impact of Coronavirus in the UK is a serious, unprecedented and currently still very unpredictable matter.
Cricket Wales has been in close and regular dialogue with colleagues at Glamorgan Cricket and the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB), in order to align our approach and to manage our response for our staff, visitors to venues, participants and supporters of cricket.
These conversations are ongoing and our approach has been to follow the standing government advice. In light of the recent shift in the UK government’s position, in relation in particular to ‘non-essential travel and contact’.
The Pembroke County Cricket Club, supports this position and urges all clubs, leagues, participants and volunteers to follow this guidance and suspend all cricket activity with immediate effect.
The Pembroke County Cricket Club's priority is the safety and wellbeing of all participants in what will undoubtedly be a testing time for our sport and, indeed, our nation. We will endeavour to serve cricket in the best and most appropriate way possible, under the challenging circumstances we will all face in the coming weeks and months.
We will of course continue to update you regularly, as this situation evolves.
The Chairman and the County Executive are here to support you through this period of uncertainty. If you want to further discuss any issues, please do not hesitate to give our Welfare Officer, Dave Loosmore a call.
Please ensure that you take every precaution to keep you and your families safe.

It
is with regret that the Pembroke County Cricket Club has to report that
Trevor Thomas of Pembroke sadly passed away on the 7th August. Trevor
was a well respected cricket umpire in Pembrokeshire for over 20 years,
including two Harrison Allen Finals. Our thoughts are with his family
and friends at this sad time.
It
is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we have recived the news
that John Williams passed away this morning, Thursday 15th August 2019,
with his family at his bedside.
Our
thoughts, and I am sure the thoughts of the whole of the Pembrokeshire
Cricket family, are with Hilary, and the boys at this very sad time.

Umpires Retire.
Three of Pembrokeshire’s most popular umpires have decided to hang up their whites.
Les
Hastings, Huw Davies and Denis Chiffi, for various reasons, have
stepped down from umpiring around the county this season. This is a sad
loss to Pembrokeshire cricket as they were all highly experienced
umpires, well liked and respected, who are going to be greatly missed
by colleagues and players alike.
Huw
was recently awarded Life Membership of the Umpires Association for his
services as Training Officer and to Committee over many years. A
decision welcomed by all his colleagues. He still serves on the Umpires
Executive so is not cutting his ties completely and Les still retains
the Presidency of the Association sharing his wealth of experience with
current members.
We
wish both Les, Huw and Denis well in their retirement and hope we will
still see them around the County enjoying their cricket from the other
side of the boundary rope.
Umpires Move Forward.
At
the recent AGM of the Pembrokeshire Association of Cricket Umpires and
Scorers (PACUS), it was agreed after much debate, that they should
align themselves more closely with the national umpires group, The
Association of Cricket Officials (ACO), organised and run, albeit as a
separate entity, by the ECB. Therefore with immediate affect, the
association will now be known as The Pembrokeshire Association of
Cricket Officials, or PACO.
This
decision was based upon a number of factors, not least allowing access
to the latest training materials produced by the ACO, which contain
copyright material of television clips and videos of incidents which
can be used for teaching new umpires and scorers. We have used the
system for a couple of years now but were reliant upon the goodwill of
the ACO allowing us access, and the availability of a tutor to deliver
the course for us.
To address this
issue, Richard Merriman has recently completed his instructor training
with the ACO and can now deliver the course “in house” for
Pembrokeshire and remove the need for the restrictions placed upon us.
The
second factor involved in the change is the use of a national
appointments system known as “Who's the Umpire”. This system allows us
to use a computer based program to make our umpiring appointments and
deliver them electronically to the individuals appointed. This
alleviates double appointments and allows a more even spread of umpires
to clubs as well as the need for the Secretary to be continually making
phone calls and amendments which he can now do via email at the push of
a few buttons. It has made the job that much easier and again we are
grateful to the ECBACO for allowing us access to the program at no cost.
In
conclusion, it will take a little time to adjust and you may see little
obvious change. The committee and the constitution remain unchanged and
until we amend our paperwork you may still see stationary with our old
headings affixed.
The name change and closer ties with the ACO will
allow us access to more innovative training materials and any
improvements that occur in the umpiring and scoring world in the future
that we would otherwise be excluded from or find difficult to access.
Dave Brandon. Chairman.
Pembrokeshire ACO.
