2024 AGM
The 2024 WCCL AGM will be at Royal Wootton Bassett Sports Association (where Royal Wootton Bassett CC play) on Monday 25th November 2024, starting at 19:30.
2025 Season Entry
Entry is now open for the 2025 season. Please log in and fill in the Online Season Entry form.
The deadline for entry for existing clubs (including existing clubs entering additional teams) is 31st October. The deadline for applications from new clubs wishing to join the league is 30th September.
A reminder that from 2025, matches cannot be rescheduled due to a team not being available. Thus this option on the online entry form has been removed.
Umpire Qualifications for the WCCL - 2024 and Beyond.
As you may know, the ECB ACO are redeveloping the umpire's education pathway. The pathway will consist of:
(1) A course, designed by the ECB ACO. This contains an online module and then a day's face-to-face course. It will also be possible to do the online module without continuing on to the face-to-face course.
(2) Seven "CPD Modules". These are face-to-face, and take 60-90 minutes each. They are run by WACO. The format is yet to be decided, but it may be that you do all seven in a day, or in 2-3 evenings, etc.
The current expected timescale is:
- The course is already available to book. There are two being run in Wiltshire, on 21st January and 3rd March. See https://www.wiltshirecricket.co.uk/officials/umpire-courses.html for details.
- The online only part of the course will be announced in the New Year.
- The CPD modules will probably be announced in March.
For the WCCL, the following will apply:
- Anybody who has done the online module of the course will be considered to be Forum-Trained.
- Anybody who has done both the full course and the seven CPD modules, will be considered to be ACO-Trained.
Anybody who is already Forum-Trained or ACO-Trained will continue to receive points for this.
