Devon League teams to play win-lose cricket
ALL NORTH Devon's teams in the Francis Clark Devon League will be playing "win-lose cricket" this year.
The format, similar to one-day internationals, was tried out in the premier division last summer.
At the annual meeting in Exeter on Friday, clubs voted overwhelmingly in favour of introducing it to the whole league.
It means a team batting second will no longer be able to block out for a draw.
In support of Armed Forces Day at the end of June we are offering £9.99 Family/Portrait Photographic sittings to anyone who holds a Police/Military I.D card! That's a saving of £25.01! Ends July 31/13
Terms: You must show proof of I.D when booking your shoot and pay £9.99 to hold your booking date and time. Only one shoot per family. A viewing day will be held roughly one week from the shooting date.

Valid until: Wednesday, July 31 2013
North Devon, in the premier division, and Braunton and Hatherleigh, in the A division, will play 50 overs a side, with powerplays, fielding restrictions and bowlers limited to ten overs each.
The only difference in the B and C divisions, which include Barnstaple and Pilton and Bideford respectively, is that teams will play 45 overs a side with a nine overs per bowler limit.
In the D division, Filleigh will play 45 overs a side with no powerplays or fielding restrictions.
Clubs voted against introducing a registration process for second XI players.
