A reminder to all clubs that rule 17 of the East & South Dorset Youth Leagues states:-
'Helmets are mandatory for all batsmen and wicketkeepers'
We are experiencing an unusually long period of hot weather at present, but some managers have raised the issue of wicketkeepers not wearing a helmet when standing back. They are concerned that if they, or their umpire, does not enforce the rule, and an injury occures, they would be liable.
Therefore, would all clubs please respect this rule. It can be discussed, and, if necessary, amended, at our AGM
