CRICKET clubs, umpires, scorers and fans will have the chance to learn the sport's new laws in a series of classes.

Kidderminster's Chainwire Social Club, Oldington, hosts the course from Tuesday, January 9, to Tuesday, March 13, between 7.30pm and 9.30pm.

The law changes include awarding penalty runs and the reduction of scores for many offences.

The courses are run by Worcestershire Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association.

There will also be an opportunity to take the first stage examination in umpiring as well.

Anyone interested can call Peter Stevens on 01905 421747 for more details.
