INJURED BATSMAN - USE OF A RUNNER
There has been some confusion following a report that an injured batsman was refused a runner when the umpires stated that the rule had been changed. This happened in another league – but has been reported in the press.
The situation is as follows. The ICC have changed their rules and do not allow a batsman to have a runner – this applies only to International (and possibly First Class) cricket. League cricket is governed by the MCC ‘Laws of Cricket’ – which have not been changed – thus the Law relating to the use of a runner within the York Senior League is unchanged.

HANDBOOK CORRECTION - MARCUS ARMITAGE
It was Marcus Armitage who recorded the best bowling figures for Hovingham, and not his brother Sam as reported in Hovingham's Club Profile in the Centenary Handbook. Marcus took 9-15 against Stillington in 1974, and in so doing also recorded the best bowling figures of the year overall.
Sam's figures of 9-17 versus Magnets in 1977 is the best return recorded by a Crayke bowler.
Note that the information, though incorrect in the Club Profile, is correctly reported on page 201 of the Handbook
