Regional teams should categorise their first  7 players, per team, as R players  

Any bench players should be categorised as RA
These details must be forwarded to Michelle Martin so she can monitor the Somerset league matche

An RA player can play in a Somerset league fixture but only in their club’s first team in the Somerset league.

Any player coming back from injury, who is no longer registered as an R or RA player, will be treated in the same way as any player already registered to the  Somerset league

Teams can re- categorise players at any time
