Scorer and Umpire Courses
As you might be aware the MCC has introduced a new set of Laws which will be in effect for the coming season. At the same time the ECB Association of Cricket Officials (ECBACO) has introduced a new set of courses which are now focussed on umpiring skills and much less on the Laws. The MCC has introduced a new on-line resource which anyone is able to access.
You will know that we have a continuing need for scorers and umpires and that the League is keen to encourage clubs to put people forward to become more capable and qualified. I hope that you will continue to support this initiative.
Courses are now booked on-line via the ECBACO. For details of courses see below or visit HACO (www.herts-aco.org) websites.

Your club will always need more umpires and scorers to run your matches, so please make every effort to encourage your players and members to put themselves forward to learn more about these two important roles in our sport.
We will be writing to you again shortly to offer your club and others an opportunity to familiarise yourselves with the new Laws at your or a nearby local club.
Thank you.
