As you're aware, there is nothing specifically written down on the subject of wides and no balls within the AECL rules. We've generally just got on with it. However there have been a few instances in recent weeks of umpires no balling anything down leg side and also not being aware if shoulder high or head high is being applied for no balls.

In the interest of consistency and to adopt rules most appropriate to our Evening League, the following 'Spirit of the Game' document has been prepared (see attached). This has been reviewed by the President and the Committee.

We have a four way tie at the top of the table following defeats for DeC Rebels and Chevron at the hands of Ellon and Inn at the Park respectively. The Rebels and the Park sit at the top of the table, with an identical margin. At the other end of the table, St Ronald have finally gained their first win of the season.  

The draw for the 2008 Oxy Cup was made by Chris Bell this afternoon in the splendid surroundings of Chevron reception. First out of the paper coffee cup were ATSSC, winners of the Oxy Cup for the last three years, closely followed by Chevron to Chris' 'delight'.

The four teams receiving a bye to the quarter final are the four teams currently at the wrong end of the league table (opportunity for Methlick v Grammar Hockey on Tuesday 22nd July at the Shed in a rearranged league match).
