- We are once again the only club to behind with League Subscriptions as Club Purser Geoff "Naebeard" Dean is still clinging on to his pieces of eight,
- Kingholm Meadow are retiring to the scrapyard and some of their former hands are opting to sign up with us this season. Tremendous news in view of last season's crop of injuries, etc.
- Although entitled to avoid relegation Lockerbie have decided to drop to Division 2, which will mean a couple more voyages for us this year as St Michael's Juniors now have an extra crew.
- This means some revisions to draft fixtures, but our first encounter looks to be with the Burgh Boys on Thursday 4th May
- There was only one minor rule change, allowing cabin boys and girls stationed in S1 and below to bowl from the popping crease to a back foot no-ball rule using a junior ball. All other League and Cup rules remain the same.
- In the Cup, Shipwrecks find themselves in an enlarged elimination group of four. The other vessels involved in the skirmish are: Healthpros, St Michael's Juniors and Galloway Allstars - thereby increasing the chances that we actually get to play the Allstars for the first time this campaign.
Is now the time to start the annual discussion about a pre-season practice?
Sadie the Goat expects that every man will do his duty!
