The Old Hamptonians Cricket Club in south-west London has been relegated from its league for failing to field a girls team or maintain a junior section, the Daily Mail reported. The club had been promoted to Division One last season but has now been demoted to Division Two for not meeting tier-one club requirements. [1]
According to the Daily Mail, the club lodged two appeals against the decision before the demotion was finalized. The team is primarily made up of former students from Hampton School, an independent school that charges up to £31,248 annually. Although it is an old boys club, it operates as an open team that allows non-students to join. [1]
The league guidelines fall under requirements set by the England and Wales Cricket Board, the Daily Mail reported. The school itself does not have female pupils, which contributed to the club struggling to form a affiliated girls section. [1]
In short
- Old Hamptonians Cricket Club was relegated to Division Two for lacking a girls team and junior section.
- The club lost two appeals against the league demotion.
- Hampton School is an independent school charging up to £31,248 per year.
