Winter Nets
PRT's preparation for the 2012 season will begin on Sunday 15th January 2012 when nets will start. All players old and new will be welcome.
The Venue : The Osprey Leisure Centre, Castletown ,Portland.
Time : 11.00 to 13.00
Cost : £3 per Session.
Club Captain, Jody Locke is quoted as saying: "Will all players make an effort to attend, it is vital that we all strive to improve our game and come out of the blocks firing on all cylinders when the season commences. Your Captains will be casting an eye over all players and assessing form and commitment, we had a fairly good season last year, but we can't afford to rest on our laurels - the club need to be competitive at all levels and this can only be achieved with attendance at coaching/training sessions and the fostering and building of a winning mentality at the club."

Dorset Cricket Association AGM News
The following decisions were taken by clubs, at the AGM, held on Monday 28th November:
1/. In The Dorset Premier League, there will be batting and bowling power plays and a free hit for a front foot No Ball.
2/. The Sunday Leagues will still consist of an 18 week season, but the games will be reduced to 40 overs-a-side, with a maximum of 8 overs per bowler. In addition, all games will now start at 1.30pm.
3/. There will also be a 20/20 competition, run alongside the Sunday Leagues, in June and July.
4/. On Saturdays, Divisions 5,6,7 & 8 will be regionalised.
5/. On both Saturdays and Sundays, the average points system has been abolished. If a match is cancelled, without a ball bowled, both teams will receive 5 points. Should a match be abandoned, after the commencement of play, then teams will keep any bonus points accrued, in addition to the 5 points.
6/. Unless both captains agree, the earliest that a game can be called off is as follows:-
(a) Saturday Premier and Division 1, and all Sunday Leagues - 11.00am
(b) Remaining Saturday Divisions - 11.30am
7/. The following regulations will be enforced in all Divisions, on both days:-
(a) A No Ball shall be called if the ball bounces more than once, or rolls along the ground, before reaching the popping crease.
(b) A No Ball shall be called for any full pitched delivery, above waist height, at the crease, regardless of pace.
(c) The maximum number of fielders allowed on the legside, at any time, is 5.
