Resignation of Northop Hall

With regret, I have to inform you that Northop Hall have resigned as members of the Cheshire Women’s League.

Any club that has a scheduled division three match against that club should note that those fixtures will not now take place. The one Division 3 match Northop Hall did fulfil will now be removed from the league table.

I understand that most, of not all, of the Northop Hall players who wish to continue playing cricket will now transfer to Hawarden Park. However, the squad are free to join any other league club should they wish. As they have not played any matches in the T20 competitions this year, players who transfer will be available for the Senior Knockout Cup and the T20 Divisional Competition, as well as matches in the main league.

Northop Hall were due to play Leigh in a semi-final of the Development Knockout Cup on June 19. The next committee meeting is on June 15, when we will discuss the implications of their withdrawal for this competition.

The revised master fixture programme has been mailed to all club main representatives.
