DEVON Cricket League chairman Joe Clowes has stunned colleagues by resigning his post with immediate effect.
Clowes, who used to play for Abbotskerswell, took over from David Gambie in 2010.
Clowes is currently on holiday and not available for comment.
Vice-chairman Stuart Munday confirmed Clowes had resigned and he will be taking interim control.
However, Munday declined to say whether he wanted the job full-time.
“It is something I have to think about as I have other commitments,” said Munday. "As a committee member of Devon CCC, a trustee of the David Shepherd Foundation and the representative of the Lord's Taverners in Devon and Cornwall, I have a lot on my plate.
Officially, No reason has been given for Clowes’ decision to call it a day.
Geoff Coish, the Devon League administrator, said: “This has come as a complete surprise as Joe has said nothing to me about packing it in.”
Munday said Clowes' contribution to the running of the league will be missed.Matt Theedom, the CDM for the Devon Cricket Board, said: “Joe has had profound impact on Devon League cricket in his time at the helm, dealing with ECB and UK Borders agency legislation as well as seeing through the new Premier Division rule changes.
“These have taken up a considerable amount of his time and energy. In the time Joe has been the DCL chair he has given them clear direction and leadership.
“He will be missed on the Devon Cricket Board and we thank him for his selfless commitment to Devon cricket over the past few years and wish him well.”
