Andy Clay, of Alkborough, was really on the ball yesterday. Within a couple of hours of us emailing his club a list of their registered players (as held on the Lincolnshire League database) he sent through a shortlist of those we should remove, having left Alkborough CC, or retired.
Hopefully other clubs will find a few minutes to go through the list emailed to them and let us know whose names should no longer appear. My job as league registrar (with 50 teams to oversee) is not made easy by players who fail to complete the important "Previous Clubs" section of the official ECB registration form. If this is completed it allows me to remove a player from his previous club's list while adding him/her to that of the team they've moved to. But if this section of the form it left blank (as is often the case) we have to rely on 'yours truly' thinking where they might have been in the past. My memory is not bad - but we are, of course, thinking of taking human intervention out of the equation.
If/when we as a league go down the route of clubs doing all their player registrations online, it will be interesting to see what happens.
