Langbaurgh Land

posted by John Winn

The minutes of the Langbaurgh League AGM, held on February 6th, are now published and they confirm the resignations of Craythorne and Skelton Castle from the league. Westerdale CC have been admitted to the league from the Eskdale League.

The net loss of one club, sad as it is, has left the league conveniently with twenty teams and, as one might expect these will be organised in two divisions of ten. Moorsholm are reprieved from relegation by virtue of Craythorne's resignation.

Having been away from home for much of the last two weeks I had missed the announcement of the draw for the 2017 National Village Cup which this year will be sponsored by Pipers' Crisps. The first round will be played on Sunday April 30th and holders Sessay will play Scarborough Beckett League Champions, Staithes, away.

 In Scotland,  Falkland CC, always strong opponents in this competition are away to Kilmacolm with the other three Scottish entries receiving byes. Sessay's opponents in last year's final, Kent outfit Sibton Park, will travel to Castle Hill CC who play their cricket in Brenchley near Tonbridge. The full draw is available at nationalvillagecup.com
