A no ball is called if the ball bounces more than once or is bowled above stump height without bouncing.
A wide is called if the ball can not be reached by the batter in more than one step.
If a player hits a no ball they can not be caught out. However, if they decide to run on a no ball or wide they can be run out.
Umpires decision is final. Any unsporting behaviour may results in points being awarded/removed.

WINNING TEAM

The winning team will go on to represent Barnsley in the Mixed Yorkshire Final. Therefore the winning team will have to take one girl as the ratio is 7:1. This is due to the fact that there is no Boys Final.
