Old Tonbridgians forfeit Cricketer Cup win

Old Tonbridgians, defending Cricketer Cup champions and the side who knocked us out of the 2009 tournament, were eliminated from the 2010 competition after it was discovered they had played an ineligible player in their second round win over Old Brightonians.

"We beat the Old Brightonians by seven wickets to earn a home tie against the Charterhouse Friars, but discovered subsequently that we broke the rules of the Cricketer Cup by playing one of this year's leavers, who was not eligible to play in either the first or second rounds of the competition. As soon as we realised our error we immediately offered to forfeit the game. As a result we will take no further part in this year's competition."

The final is between Old Malvernians, who we lost to in the first round, and Oundle Rovers at Shenley on August 15.
