Following the meeting last night, all games on Saturday will start at 12:30pm with all times for the game brought forward by 1 hour.
If any team wants to revert to the normal start time of 1.30, they will need to get the agreement of the opposition and then let Dave Lever know.
All panel umpires will be informed of the 12.30 start time.
We are calling on all players in the Moore and Smalley Palace Shield to help shape the way we play cricket over the next few years. During the Covid crisis, a number of changes to the way we play the game have been forced upon us. Some of these seem very popular with players and others less so. Therefore, we are launching a survey to run throughout the month of July to see how we want to play Saturday league matches in particular from season 2022 onwards.
Please take a few minutes to complete this short survey and also pass the message on to ensure all your fellow players and teammates get a chance to have their say.

Many Thanks
All,
It gives me no pleasure in sending out this letter in my role as disciplinary chair for Moore & Smalley Palace Shield.
The 2021 season has just completed round 9 of the fixtures and to date I have received 13 reports for various offences/incidents.
The level of reports relating to player behavior is not acceptable.
I wish to place on record my thanks for the majority of clubs who have not had any reports – Well done, please continue the good work.
The clubs who have been involved in discipline issue already this season, can I ask you to relay this to all playing members that I want to see a marked improvement for the remainder of the season.
Cricket is an exciting game that encourages leadership, friendship, teamwork and brings people together to enjoy themselves.
By playing cricket we create a positive atmosphere with our own conduct and I’m encouraging all players to do likewise, even when things go against you.
If attitudes around discipline persist I will not hesitate to enforce sanctions in line with the code of conduct.
Poor behavior will not be tolerated.
Yours in sport
Steve.

As an innovation this year, each week we will select a Colts of the Week team.
This will mirror the NL Team of the Week (TOTW) feature that we have been running for a number of years.
The youngsters coming through are vital to the future prosperity of the game and this seems to be a good way of recognising the progress and development and celebrating their
achievements.
Appearances in the eclectic Colts of the Week will earn a place in the end of season Colts DreamTeam
