The draw has been regionalised for the first few rounds to try and reduce travel distance.
The tournament is a straight knockout.
Clubs need to talk to their opposition to arrange the dates that the games will be played. The league is happy for these fixtures to take place on evenings or Sundays.
Please note the date deadlines for matches to be completed.
The matches will be played in whites with a red ball.
Where possible the league will attempt to help with umpires for the matches.
Clubs need to confirm with the league the confirmed dates for fixtures so we can update Play Cricket.
Any issues please get in touch.
We have 43 clubs playing in T20 competitions in 2023, which is more than we have ever attempted, we hope that all clubs enjoy the challenge and help to run the competitions smoothly.
