FINES totalling £298 were handed out to Drakes League clubs for various playing and administration offences.
While some were for failing to bowl 50 overs inside three hours – the biggest of £42 to Honley for a third such offence – most were for late score sheets and failure to report results.
Match secretary Yvonne Collins has also appealed to all clubs and scorers to ensure they fill in full names for batsmen and correctly identify bowlers and fielders when two have the same surname.
She also appealed for sheets to be filled more neatly.

All players over the age of 13 now have to be registered with the league, but clubs have been fielding juniors – mostly in second XI matches – without following the rule.
