The Hampshire Association of Cricket Officials will be running a number of training courses for Umpires over the coming winter.

Courses last one full day and will cost £30.

The next course will run at The Ageas Bowl on Sunday 12th January 2020.

Anyone interested in attending this course can register using the following link: http://booking.ecb.co.uk/d/9hqz6f.

The League is proud to announce the release of a new Scoring Portal on this website, available at scoring.shicl.co.uk. The portal will include:

• Photographic copies of all submitted scoresheets
• Analysis and feedback on all submitted scoresheets
• Details of scoring courses run by the League
• Helpful resources such as an exemplar scoresheet and a training scoresheet

All of these will be accessible by login only, which will grant you access to the scoresheets associated with your team(s). If anyone associated with your team(s) (e.g. a scorer) wishes to be added to the system, all they need to do is request an invite by sending an e-mail to scoring@shicl.co.uk stating which teams’ scoresheets they wish to have access to.

Some news below on grant funds, a couple of which are open for a few more days.

Local budgets and precise criteria are still being confirmed, the HCB will be hitting the road in the new year to inform and consult on the plan for Hampshire.
