Helston & Goldsithney Cricket Clubs have won their respective appeals regarding the playing of Justin Stephens by Penzance CC earlier in the season. Following complaints from the two clubs the League's Disciplinary Committee ruled that Stephens had not been released from his contract by St Just when he appeared for Penzance. The breach in registration rules resulted in the statutory maximum penalty for the offence of a fine of �100 on the club and deduction of the 29 points 'unfairly gained' in the two games. The Cornwall Cricket Board's Appeal's Committee have now upheld the appeals and, in accordance with the league rules, additionally awarded the full twenty match points to Helston and Goldsithney respectively.
