I currently play for brigstock cc who play in the northants divsions, however i am moving to a village in Devon, i want to carry on playing cricket of course but
do not understand the league system as there are for example E and F divsions, are these based on standard or just regions within the county ? i would
really appreciate someone explain it to me please so i have a understanding of the standard and system etc.
thanks

Can't help with the Devon system but feel free to pop in and see us for any new gear before you move, Brigstock to Peterborough is about 30 miles i think. :)
-
Thank you, does your shop stock much keeping gear ? i think i have played agasint your side before on a sunday.
-
Plenty of keeping gear at all price points available currently. I am a keeper myself so i try to make sure we have a good selection.
I don't play many sundays, but Brigstock is a team we have played against in the Rutland league before i believe.

good old Brigstock. Havent played you guys for a few years. Play for Kempston Hammers.
where in Devon are you moving? My Brother moved down there last year and is playing for sidmouth atm. some lovely grounds, nice clubs and a very good standard can be found there too.

VITAS CRICKET - ok cheers I will have to pop down at some point, I have bought 6 pairs of keeping gloves in the last 2 years its getting a bit strange now but I can't stop buying them.
Yeah that will be it then, you guys did the double over us.
RED INK CRICKET - some of the grounds do look rather pictureesk, is sidmouth the side with the ground right by the beach so to speak ? And we'll I'm staying near the Cornwall border west of sidmouth I think about a hour away I think ( my geography is terrible)
-
Feel free mate, we are open 11-7 in the week and 9-3 (maybe until 4 in the coming weeks) on saturdays until the season starts.
I am forever chasing the perfect pair of gloves. closest i have got were my 2012 GN Legends.

this will help...

whilst at Uni I played for both Exeter CC and Alphington (didn't really shine for either irritatingly) both good clubs. There are some great grounds, good luck with your move...
-
yes sidmouth is right on the beach. if you play on a pitch towards the beach you can get hit into the sea ( if your an average enough bowler). there are plenty of teams down there so would imagine there is a decent team a little closer to where you will be living, if not i think sidmouth would be worth the drive.

VITAS CRICKET - ok cheers for the info, there nice gloves classy looking design i think, my most used pair are the AERO KPR GEL WK GLOVES 2010, boring design for aero but are really subtle and have a good size web, i also have a old pair of gm 606 from 2008 but bought them from a little shop in market harborough last week, i also have some salix pod ones,grey nicolls powerbow 2012, and some dukes pro century which i got from morrant on sale they must of been in the warehouse for years or something there old gloves, and finally a set of newberrys sps.
apologies for the random essay i like talking kit haha
BUZZ - thank you very much, the grounds do luck picturesque
RED INK CRICKET - haha that seems so alien to me being a midlands lad if the ball is hit out the ground you might kill a cow or two not lose the ball in the drink, there are a few small teams dotted around near the village where im going to live which have decent enough facilities which im going to give a go, my current side are a small village team but play at a good level so im hoping for something similar to that and continue with my keeping, i will just have to see how it goes really.

I prefer to be up the other end and try and land a few in the croquet lawn

Unless its changed mate, I believe that is correct.
-
ok thank you for your help

Sounds messed up, like their scones!
If you search for DevAussie/Iconic cricket on here he lives in that part of the world and may be able to explain the leagues or advise a club to you. Have another mate who plays for Yelverton but I think thats a fair drive from Sidmouth
-
ok cheers i will investigate

Why? I've just explained it to him.....

Here are all the clubs in Devon, and where they are on the map!
-
You've explained how the leagues work
Someone new to an area might want some info on travelling distances, club infrastructures etc. I was only trying to help
Wind your neck in
-
And the map is there clearly for all to see. Quite simple really.... Find a club, look at he league they're in and look at the travelling. It's similar to using google really, only easier because the Devon cricket board have done it for you!

Personally I think a little bit of human interaction would be better when choosing a new club than just looking on the internet. Thats why I suggested a chat for Mr Damo with an adopted Devonian or two. Is that wrong?
Copying my words - Don't children do that in the playground?
-
Was just trying to work out if it was as unnecessary at the end of my post, as it was at the end of yours!
-
I dont think you needed to comment atall, if Damo doesn't want to act on my advice he is welcome to ignore it. Im sure he doesn't need a minder
-

Quite agree damo, straight divs is far better than this second xi league crap.
-
Cheers for your help anyway guys I have a better understanding now
