UKICCC County Championship 2022 Division 4 Forum.

Please use this forum for all matters relating to Division 4. The team links and the 2022 fixtures can be found below. The results and tables can be found by clicking this link:CC22 League Results

The minimum number of players for a division 4 match is 5 but please aim for more. 

The aim is for 3 teams to be promoted, and 3 to be relegated at the end of the season.

There will be one match per month, the fixtures are published below.  Challenges should be sent only after the instruction is received in a news item.  This will usually be sent on the 26^th of the previous month and the start date for matches will be set at 7^th of the month.  An exception to this will be in March where there will be 2 fixtures, one set for the 7th and the other on 21st March. Either team can send the challenge.  If a team does not have enough players on the day the match is due to start then they will be given 48 hours to find the extra players, after this, the opposing team can choose to claim the match by default.

Please set up all matches as follows:
