The Abberton Premier League 2015 is here! The Abberton Premier League is an exciting twist on the ‘fantasy’ style competitions that have been so successful in the past. With some innovative scoring features such as your captain scoring you double points (similar to the Joker) and the constitution of the team needing to be balanced between bowlers, batsmen and wicket-keeper, imagination and thoughtful selection will be key to success. The competition will operate throughout the TCL and NECL seasons and will be administered by Sam Trussler. Entries are not restricted to ADCC members so give it a try and help earn some much-needed revenue for the club. THE RULES 2015! Please read carefully.
