At the recent RHBL Competition Management Committee meeting, it was agreed that all clubs would now follow the bat policy as handed down by BNSW at the beginning of the season.

Whilst the wording of the above policy may be a little hard to understand, RHBL will be adding the following wording to the rules:
Women: there is no restriction on composite barrels in the BNSW Guidelines.
(Note: This does not apply to T-ballers and Zooka.)
