Oakworth will face Cowling at Cure Hill in the opening round of cricket's Wynn Cup.

The draw for the Craven League cup competitions took place recently and Oakworth, last year's beaten finalists, will fancy their chances again this year.

Champions Carleton are at home to Second Division Jimmy Nelson's.

Cowling Cup holders Haworth face a local derby against Long Lee in the opening round while Oakworth 2nds are at home to Skipton CI.

The league has a new treasurer with Richard Webster replacing the late Malcolm Garbutt. There are also changes to the Executive Committee, Brian Nelson had retired and Rod Booth (Chatburn) has joined together with David Mills of Airedale.

There is one major rule change for the new season. In games where the start is delayed by the weather two overs will be deductd from the maximum 90 for every six minutes lost.

The deducted overs will be shared equally between both sides and the minimum numbers of overs in a weather-hit game will be 25 per innings.
