The WDCU Fair Play League promotes the values of respect, sportsmanship and the Spirit of Cricket.
Following each match, captains are asked to provide a fair and honest assessment of their opponents, by completing the WDCU Fair Play Assessment Form. Scores and feedback will be used to celebrate positive behaviour, support clubs in maintaining high standards, and help ensure that WDCU competitions are played in the right spirit.
Access to the WDCU Fair Play League Assessment Form can be found on our website, in the link in our instagram bio, or by asking your club secretary.

Some sad news: Honorary Vice President Norman Wilson passed away on Friday. Norman was a great servant to the club over many years- an ex-player, 1st XI captain ground convenor and president of Ayr Cricket Club (to name just a few of his roles) he was an active contributor to the club throughout his life. On hanging up his boots Norman kept up his involvement in the game by umpiring for many years. His presence on match days over this and future summers will be greatly missed. Norman was heavily involved in the development of New Cambusdoon in the late1990s, and a valuable source of information and help to many in maintaining and improving the ground. We will pass on details of the funeral as we get them. Condolences to his wife Lesley and all the family, from everyone involved with Cambusdoon.
The new committee have updated the playing conditions ahead of the 2026 Season. Please see the updated playing conditions in our website within the Documentation and Playing Conditions section.
All the best for the 2026 season!
Hi all,
Ahead of the start of the 2026 Scottish domestic season, the transition process to PlayHQ is continuing, as Cricket Scotland moves to ensure player registration and live scoring exists on one all-encompassing platform, helping to streamline domestic cricket operations. We appreciate the support of all regional associations and clubs as we continue this process.
As a result, Cricket Scotland can confirm that the current regional association match centres (CS LIVE, ESCA LIVE, NESC LIVE, NoSCA LIVE, SPCU LIVE and WDCU LIVE) will be deactivated from 1 April 2026. The Cricket Scotland Live App will also be deactivated at the same time, to be replaced in due course by a new app which is linked to PlayHQ. Cricket Scotland will communicate more details about the new app at the appropriate time.
Cricket Scotland can confirm the data contained within the regional association match centres will be retained as part of the transition process to PlayHQ. We will update further on this data at an appropriate time within the transition process.
Regarding the Scottish Cricket Registration System (SCRS): SCRS will continue to operate for specific purposes until 31 July 2026. This will allow those who are attaining coaching, umpiring, or safeguarding qualifications during the first half of 2026 to access these courses and to add any acquired certificate evidence to their personal profiles. This information is important with regards to the 2026 safeguarding audit and allows anyone who is still to upload any outstanding certification to their profile to do so.
