West Join the Lobby for Retaining the SNCL

At a meeting last week players and members of West agreed to formally join the lobby to retain the Scottish National Cricket League.

Chairman Gordon Smith said, “We at West believe that Scottish Cricket deserves and needs a National League if players are to develop and achieve the highest standards of which they are capable .  But we do recognise there are many who do not want a lot of travelling and would rather play in local leagues.  What would concern us would be if our First XI played in the SNCL and our Second XI and/or our juniors weren’t allowed to play in the relevant local leagues.”

So West join Clydesdale, Greenock and Uddingston from this side of the country in supporting the retention of the SNCL in the future.  Let us hope that decisions are made quickly so that the playing of cricket on the field can again become the main source of chat in Clubhouses throughout Scotland.
