Appointment of umpires for knockout matches
Sunday 10th July 2005

Following the problems of the last weekend, club are reminded that it is the responsibility of the home team captain to advise the L&DCC Honorary Fixtures and Results Secretary/Webmaster and the MCUA Sunday Appointments Secretary (Ray Rigby) of the date and details of each fixture, in order that umpires may be appointed.

Failure by three clubs to comply with the above meant that a series of phone calls had to be made yesterday morning and last night to secure umpires in order that matches at Huyton and Worsley may be played. Unfortunately a third, Ainsdale v Liverpool, was unable to take place.
