And remember registration includes full Personal Accident Insurance and a contribution to the CL Disability Cricket Programme.
Finally, any youth players who do not participate in organised CL youth competitions (especially under 9s) can register in their own name under the ‘social’ category at a cost of just €5.00.
This means that all such participants will be fully insured (personal accident cover) under the CL Insurance Scheme as they enjoy informal club cricket, friendlies, blitzes or even the national programmes - Smash It & It’s Wicket!
And remember, there is a briefing for all CL clubs on the national programmes next Wednesday 3rd May at 7.00pm, you can register to attend (by zoom) here:
