Preston out to defend their cup
Daryl Wearing receives the T20 Cup in 2008 from Brian Standing |
The Latham Baxendale Twenty20 Cup competition starts on Tuesday 25 May when Barrow, the 2008 winners, entertain Kendal at Ernest Pass (6-30pm).
Holders Preston have moved groups from South One to South Two this season.
The clubs are arranged in groups as follows:
North One:
Barrow, Kendal, Netherfield
North Two:
Carnforth, Lancaster, Morecambe
South One:
Blackpool, Fleetwood, St Annes
South Two:
Chorley, Darwen, Leyland, Preston
Fixtures are played home and away and can be rearranged in the event of abandonment.
But all group games must be completed by Sunday 11 July 2010 with the finals day scheduled for Sunday 25 July at the winners of the South Two group.
A reminder that the League committee decided that the possibility of a void game is eliminated. If a game cannot be completed according to the playing rules and there is no possibility of a replay date then the game will be decided by a bowl-out or, as a last resort, the toss of a coin.
The group winners will be the team with the highest number of wins and, in the event of a tie, the team with the highest run-rate.
