WEST SURREY CLUBS DEFY THE CLUB

CRICKET CONFERENCE

P

is

Competitive cricket — which I have always supported anathema to the Club Cricket Conference, which runs the club game in the South of England. Now this body has been rapping over the knuck- les Surrey clubs which have transgressed, but which remain unrepen- tant.

The competition is an annual one, played in West Surrey for a cup, and several clubs who regularly enter are members of the CCC.

So Mr Duncan Wright, competition secretary, has received a letter from the Conference which enjoins:

"This type of cricket is not approved by the Club Cricket Conference and it is a condition of membership that clubs do not take part in competitive cricket."

"In this cup cricket you've got to be lively in the Beld and at the wicket and the youngsters get a chance in these games. The competition has vened

So what will the CCC do now? Pas sentence of excommuni- cation?
