NOTES
A few early notes and remarks, moved to the bottom of the page where they're in nobody's way
THE DRAW
was notified by the Home Director 12.1.09 and amended 14.1.09. This draw is final. If a team does not take up its place, a bye will result. (Note 14.1.09. He said that first time round and it wasn't true, but we'll let him off. The WECU had mistakenly nominated Devon in the U125 instead of the U150, and the draw committee has allowed them to correct their mistake.)
     We give the names of qualifying Counties where known. Our information on this comes from various sources and may not be official. Even with SCCU teams it is not official till they have accepted nomination and David Smith has told the ECF at the end of March.
     Note 31.3.09. Our fixture list accords with that sent to match captains yesterday by the Home Director, save that he gives Cambridgeshire's opponents in the U150 as Hants. Later: He agrees with us now.
     Remark 10.5.09. For the third year in a row the EACU nominee in the U175 has defaulted at the first hurdle. Last year, when Suffolk did it, we noted: "As far as we can make out, EACU nominated Suffolk without asking if they wanted to play; and they didn't." Has this happened again? Has it happened three years in a row? Later: It seems not. We understand Cambridgeshire actually accepted nomination this year.
