Umpires with mentors
An important decision has been made regarding new umpires requiring coaching and mentoring.
Mentorship is an essential part of a new umpires development and therefore the mentor will receive the £10 umpire payment and not the developing umpire. Each mentor is an extremely valuable asset to the league so we hope you all support us in the decision.
Umpiring
Many thanks to all those who attended our recent Beginners/Refreshers Umpire Course held on 15th April. The course was a great success & we all look forward to welcome all the new umpires in the Summer Season.
End of Round 2 – Update
At the end of Round 2 Jo’s Angels are still (impressively) at the top of the League table. But, with Round 3 starting in January all the teams have a lot to play for. The standard of match play has risen throughout the Season & Round 2 saw some very close matches indeed. Our newest team, Hurst, have certainly enjoyed their debut season and have made several teams work hard for the wins they have have had against Hurst. Both Jo’s Angels and Phoenix have found themselves digging deep at times which has made their performances exceed expectations in the more closely fought games. Hassocks Honeez are enjoying their best season yet and, whilst both Red Roos and Sapphires both struggled early on in the Season, they have both recently enjoyed more impressive performances that have earned them valuable points in the League table.
Looking ahead to January when we usually experience some colder weather, please can we remind all teams of the importance of a thorough warm up prior to match play & the need to have team first aid available court-side. Our Accident Guidelines can be found under the ‘Rules’ section of this website & we ask all teams to familiairise themselves with these.
Round 3 dates in 2012 are: 11 Jan, 18 Jan, 25 Jan, 1 Feb and 8 Feb.
Finally, we would like to thank all teams for their involvement in MSNL & hope you all have a well-deserved & fun break over Christmas. We are all keenly awaiting Round 3 and the fresh competition that will bring so we look forward to seeing you all back on court in the New Year.
