  1. WELCOME TO THE JOINT MEETING OF

  2. Our Aims and Objectives • To provide a clear and coherent pathway for clubs, players and officials in the area covered by the two Leagues. • To enable and foster aspiration for clubs, players and officials of all abilities. • To grow participation by providing an improved and relevant offer of Cricket. • To reduce travelling distances for those wishing to play more localised Cricket.

  3. How can we achieve this? • By combining our League structures. • By revisiting our playing rules to determine if they are relevant for all players and officials. • By seeking to improve ground standards and facilities for all players and officials. • By adopting common policies on Registration of Players, Results Reporting, Discipline, Website etc. • By using economies of scale to obtain better ball subsidies, sponsorship and commercial backing.

  4. Combined League structure One possible structure would see the following for 2017: • Current Cherwell League Divisions 1-3 would remain the same with promotion/relegation to/from HCPCL • CL Division 4 and OCA Division 1 to combine to form two divisions based on geography • CL Division 5 and OCA Division 2 to similarly combine • CL Division 6 and OCA Division 3 to similarly combine • CL Divisions 7&8 and OCA Divisions 4&5 to combine to form four divisions based on local centres • CL Divisions 9(N) & 9(S) and OCA Divisions 6-9 to combine to form divisions based on local centres • Other teams from the area could join at an appropriate level

  6. How might the divisions look?A couple of examples: DIVISION 7A Banbury 5 Brackley 2 Charlbury 2 Chipping Norton 2 Deddington Great Tew 4 Hook Norton Sandford St Martin 2 Shipton 3 Westbury 2 To Division 6A DIVISION 8D Abingdon Vale 4 Challow & Childrey 3 Didcot 3 E & W Hendred 2 Hanborough 2 Hanney Radley 2 Steventon Sunningwell 2 Wootton & BH 2 To Division 7D

  7. Next Steps • League Secretaries will contact clubs to gauge support for further discussions towards an integration of competitions. • Establish a working group to finalise arrangements if a majority of clubs wish to proceed. • Use our proposed new structure to enable an easier transition to the planned ‘Two Valleys’ pyramid. • Carefully monitor any new arrangements and encourage feedback from clubs and players.
