At their AGM this month the North-East Mid-Week Cricket League confirmed expansion of their fifth division so as to include three new clubs and thereby create a vacancy for one further club. Ponteland CC, Kings School Old Boys and the Matrics Barbarians have joined at the AGM, following on from the Corinthians (British Airways) and Stonebridge Spitfires who were elected at the end of the 2009 season. Clubs interested to take up the one remaining vacancy in the extended structure of 44 teams should contact the Secretary, Don Catley on 07986 307 688 or don@catley.org within the next week or so.
The AGM, with President Malcolm Kennedy CBE in the chair, attracted the usual large number of attendees and minor changes to the League Laws were made. This included recognition of the increased number of runs now being scored in evening matches and an adjustment with 6 runs (rather than 5) per 8 ball over now being required for the first batting point and 8 (rather than 7) for the second batting point. Matches are usually of 16 off 8 ball overs, slightly more than the popular twenty20 format, but this is flexible to account for the conditions and promptness of start on the night. The use of team cards is being introduced to assist umpires to identify and protect players who are under 18. The league season starts on Monday 26th April but is preceded by the traditional Merz & McLellan Cup on Sunday 25th April when last season's champions, Beamish & East Stanley take on the President's XI. The Hopper Howe Sadler Cup for league teams will culminate in the cup final on Sunday August 22nd

There are proposed minor modifications to the League Laws and introduction of team cards to assist the umpires (but note this is NOT player registration). This is the time for registrations by current and newly applying Clubs with a possible extension of the League from 40 to 44 teams so as to satisfy as much as is practicable the current level of interest being shown.
