During the winter, the Senior League registered with the ECB 'play-cricket' network.

This has allowed us to register our own ECB/BOTWCC Club Site with the league, within the same network. See Right----------->

So what does this mean? And why do we need 2 sites?

Well, the botwcc.co.uk site will continue to give us a nice fluffy view of the club, with news updates etc, along with fixtures, summary results, match reports and league tables.

The ECB site will hold more detailed results i.e. the scorecards will be recorded here. (At least they will for the 1st team!!). The site will then automatically generate statistics for each player, showing runs/wickets etc, and lots of other useful or otherwise stats.

For an example, the scorecard from the pre-season friendly against Woodhouse has now been entered. Click HERE to see it. Then try clicking on peoples names within the scorecard - this will bring up their individual stats. This should work for opposition players too. Clever, eh!

Alternatively, once the season starts proper, you will be able to search for fixtures/results on the Senior League site for all clubs who are registered with the league. A chance to check out the form of next weeks opposition!

In addition to this, club members can register their details on the ECB site.

This will allow each registered member to see details of other registered members eg phone numbers, email addresses etc. Perfect for sending encouraging/disparaging emails on a Monday morning depending on how well you performed at the weekend!

Time permitting, historical results from previous seasons will be entered. This has already been done for some of the 1st XI fixtures from last year.

The site may also be used, in the future, for posting some of the more sensitive documents about the club eg AGM minutes, accounts etc. These will only be viewable to registered members, and hence will be hidden from general public view.

Check it out, see what you think, any comments/questions etc feed them back to me via the site

Cheers
