The club are re-introducing what used to be the works league in a slightly! new format.

Starting in June on Friday nights Clackmannan County Cricket Club will run a six-a-side League for social cricket at the Arns. This league is open to any organisation or collection of people who would like a friendly wee game of cricket on a Friday evening. It is not intended to be for regular cricket players, indeed each side will be restricted to one regular weekend cricketer. The team can consist of males or females or a combination of both. The intention is to play two games each Friday evening starting at 6.30. Teams will not have to play every week, a fixture list will be produced to indicate when each teams games are. The games are likely to last about an hour, kit will be provided and the bar will be open to celebrate or drown your sorrows. The club will help out with rules, and a wee bit of coaching if you think you need it.

So what are the Rules for the game ?

1. Teams shall consist of 6 players each selected from a squad of 8.
2. Each match shall consist of one innings per team
3. Each innings shall consist of a maximum of 5 six ball overs
4. No bowler shall bowl more than one over (in the case of a bowler becoming incapacitated, the over may be completed by a bowler who has bowled an over, even if he bowled the preceding over)
5. Two batsmen shall be at the wicket at all times during an innings. In the event of a team losing five wickets within the permitted 5 overs, the last man shall continue batting with the fifth man out remaining at the wicket as a runner.
6. When a batsman reaches a personal total of 25 he shall retire, but may return to the crease in the event of his side being dismissed within the 5 overs. Retired batsmen must return in the order of their retirement and take the place of the retiring or dismissed batsman. Two ‘live batsmen’ shall be at the wicket until such time as the fifth wicket has fallen.
7. If in the bowler bowls short of the halfway mark, a no ball shall be called. In addition if the ball reaches or passes the batsman at or above shoulder height standing at the crease in his normal stance, a ‘no ball’ shall be called. This may be called by either umpire.
8. The laws relating to wides shall be interpreted by the umpire.
 
RESULTS
The team scoring the most runs in its innings shall be the winner. If the scores of both teams are equal, then the team losing the fewer wickets shall be the winner. If the teams are still equal, then each member of both teams shall bowl one ball (overarm) at the stumps : the team hitting the stumps the greater number of times shall be the winner.
