An application from Bedale Cricket Club has been recieved by the League to enter a 2nd XI in 2012. This application was approved by the Management Committee and this new team will enter in Division 9, thus making a division of 8 teams.

As a result of Dishforth CC withdrawing from Division 5, all points gained in fixtures against Dishforth will be removed from all clubs in Division 5. This was seen to be the fairest option as not all teams had been given the opportunity to play Dishforth at home. The Division 5 league table will be ammended and published. This decision also affects the end of season calculation of averages, both in league fixtures and cup fixtures. Any performances against Dishforth CC will not be counted in calculation of end of season averages.
