Matters Arising
It was agreed to discuss the facilities of the clubs promoted to the Premier Division when the outcome of this season’s competition had been decided.
Correspondence
- Letter received from the umpires in respect of the Mirfield Parish v Batley. It was agreed that no action would be taken.
- Letter received from Townville appealing against the 6 point deduction from Townville A. It was agreed that this decision should stand.
- Letters received from Stanley and Hunslet Nelson regarding the second team fixture between these clubs. After a lengthy discussion it was agreed that Stanley A would be awarded 6 points.
- The Meeting discussed the allegation made by Methley regarding a breach of Rule 39 by Wrenthorpe in approaching one of their players. It was agreed that no further action would be taken on this matter. Chairman to write to Methley.
- Letter received from Woodkirk alleging Stanley A had fielded unregistered players. The score sheet had been examined and no unregistered players were identified. As a result, no further action would be necessary.
- A letter had been received from Stuart Clifton, the captain of Townville, with regard to incidents in their game against Mirfield Parish. The Chairman would deal with this matter.
- Correspondence had been received from Altofts and Wakefield Thornes regarding the result of their game. It was agreed the result should stand.
Most Urgent Business
The Chairman read out a letter received from John Skelly of Radio Leeds which was critical of our arrangements for the Jack Hampshire Final. The Chairman felt that many of John’s criticisms were valid and we needed to pay more attention to how we organise our “showpiece” final. It was essential that as many of our Management Committee as possible should be involved in, and attend our Finals. Our efforts this year did not bear comparison with the Heavy Woollen and Crowther Cup Finals and we would need to do better next year.
Rule change voting papers were issued and these should be returned to Andy Haley prior to our next meeting in October.
Website Forum
Due to derogatory and slanderous comments appearing on the forum, it was agreed that the forum would be closed pending further discussion on this subject.
Umpires Issues
The Chairman had attended the last Umpires Association Meeting and it was clear that the Umpires were not happy with players conduct on the field. They wished to hold a meeting with the Club Chairmen to discuss this matter.
Registration Issues
Following an inquiry from a member of the Wrenthorpe Club, the Registration Secretary confirmed that there were no issues with regard to the registration of Tim Bresnan by Townville.
Treasurers Report
A financial breakdown was given to the Committee.
Outside Agencies
In 2008 the CYCL had been chosen to host the Yorkshire Council Play-off Finals for both the Premier and Supplementary Competitions.
