Insurance Trophy shared for 2009

With us beating Scottish Widows then losing to Bank of Scotland and Scottish Widows beating Bank of Scotland comfortably earlier this week, we have decided to share the Insurance Trophy for this season rather than decide it with another round of matches or a net run rate calculation. The latter may have been invalidated by us playing retire-at-25 against BofS: the Widows wouldn't agree to this when they played BofS and so won by a fair margin, 160 for 2 versus about 75 all out.

We will need to consider the rules for next season. BofS do not seem keen to play without a retiral rule whereas we and the ScWids would naturally want to play a "proper" game. The competition may come down to just us and the ScWids once more, in which case it would make sense to me to play a home and away "final", with net run rate in force in the event of us winning one match each.
