Young Officials
Young Officials Conference
Following feedback received from the last couple of years, we have decided to change the annual Young Officials conference to a post-season one. We think this will give us an opportunity to reflect on the season just gone and for active members of the scheme to talk about their experiences over the summer. There will be more information in the summer issue of this magazine … so keep your eyes peeled.
2017 Young Officials Fixtures
We are delighted to confirm that we will be appointing Young Officials to the following fixtures in 2017:
11 May 2017 – MCC Corporate Cricket Day @ Lord’ s Cricket Ground
17 – 21 July 2017 – Bunbury Festival @ Stowe School
14 August 2017 – NatWest U13 National Club Championship Finals @ Rugby School, Warwickshire
15 August 2017 – NatWest U15 National Club Championship Finals @ Rugby School, Warwickshire
23 August 2017 – Royal London U15 County Cup B Division Final @ Millfield School, Somerset
23 – 24 August 2017 – Royal London U15 County Cup A Division Finals @ Kibworth CC, Leicestershire
We will also be appointing to a number of English Schools Cricket Association( ESCA) finals throughout the season.
Finally, we are also hoping to confirm a festival appointment to replace the London Schools Cricket Association County
Festival that we have previously appointed to. A communication will be sent round in due course to confirm if we have been able to find a suitable appointment.
If you are keen to be considered for any of the above, please make sure either yourself, or a member of your County ACO committee, has put your name forward. As with previous years, ECB ACO will provide travel and accommodation expenses for all appointments, except the MCC Corporate Day, which offers you the chance to umpire or score on the main ground at Lord’ s. We think this is an experience worth paying for! We look forward to seeing some new faces at games around the country this season!
