We<\/strong> are committed to ensuring all players have the opportunity to play competitive cricket at a suitable level.<\/h3>\n

We run Premier Leagues at U11, U13, and U15, our elite competitions, supported by Championship Divisions at the same age groups to bridge the gap between Premier Leagues and our \u201cStandard\u201d Leagues.<\/p>\n

We also run 8-a-side pairs hardball cricket leagues at U9, U10, U11, and U13, which complement our 11-a-side leagues. These provide a perfect introduction to hardball cricket for younger players.<\/p>\n

All Premier, Championship, and Standard leagues are 11-a-side traditional cricket, with 20 over games at U11 and 25-over games at U13 and U15. Our Standard leagues are 11-a-side, 20 overs per side for U12, U13, U14, U15, and U17.<\/p>\n

For slightly younger players, we offer softball leagues: U9s compete in a festival format across the county, while U10s play in a league format. Softball cricket is ideal for children starting competitive cricket for the first time, as well as those beginning to experience hardball cricket, helping ensure a smooth transition.<\/p>\n

Our leagues run until the end of July, with finals for the Standard and Pairs leagues taking place in September.<\/p>\n
