1.
The Association does and will continue to reimburse residents, that live adjacent to cricket grounds, for any damage caused by cricket balls to their property.
The Association expects ALL clubs and teams to show curtesy to those residents that receive damage. Failure to do so may mean that teams and individuals will have to front the Association's Committee of Management and explain why they should remain in the cricket competition. A recent window breakage has caused the Association to review its policies on team behaviour. Property damage is not something to be joyful about.
Any clubs or team captains who encourage willful damage to property or do not pay the resident affected common curtesies will find themselves without a competition to play in.
In past years the Association has covered the cost of vehicles damaged by cricket balls. It was always the policy of only covering members of the general public but over the years the Association has become lenient and has paid for players and officials vehicles.
From this point on (25 November 2004) any vehicle belonging to a player or umpire will not be covered if hit by a cricket ball. Players should know where to park to ensure that their vehicle doesn't get damaged.
There will be NO exceptions to this rule.
