The Swinburn Maddison Durham Sunday Football League  after Consultation with Hetton Lyons Cricket Club, have removed Hetton Lyons Cricket Club from the League Cup sponsored By Spennymoor Town and the Alan Smith Trophy Sponsored By Castle Insurance Ltd. The reason behind this was that  the Two Cups above were a Long way behind in the Fixtures due to the very bad weather we have experienced this Season, Hetton Lyons Cricket having suffered  more than Most Due to the Football Association Sunday Cup and the Durham County Football Association  taking preference each Sunday, this means that when a Game in either of these Competitions were cancelled they have to be played the Following week until completed, this created a Major Fixture problem for Hetton Lyons Cricket Club  as they have been very successful in both the Cup Competitions  this did not allow them to  Premier League Games and League Cup Competitions .

Both the Alan Smith Trophy and League Cup need to be completed before the end of the Season and removing Hetton Lyons Cricket Club from these Cups will hopefully allow the Completion of Both Trophies.As per Durham Sunday Football League Rules Hetton Lyons Cricket Club will be fined for Not Fulfilling their Fixtures.

As I have already mentioned Hetton Lyons Cricket Club are in the Final of the Football Association Cup to be played at Anfield the Home of Liverpool Fc on Sunday 25th April against Magnet Tavern Fc, Hopefully by removing Hetton Lyons Cricket Club  from these Cups this will help Hetton Lyons Cricket Club  Prepare for this Final.

The Best wishes of the League Management Committee and all the Clubs/Referees in the League go with Hetton Lyons Cricket Club to be successful on the day and bring the Trophy back to the North East.
