Cheshire County Cricket League
The Cheshire County Cricket League for Cheshire's top performing clubs comprising three divisions at 1st and 2nd XI level - Premier, Division 1, Division 2 and Division 3. Additionally, there are Sunday 3rd XI competitions and the long established, midweek over 40s tournament. The CCCL was formed in 1975 when eleven clubs from the Manchester Association and one from the Lancashire & Cheshire League bravely took the plunge and joined the new set up. There were further intakes in 1981 (two clubs), 1993 (10), 1996 (2) and a significant expansion in 1998 when another 11 clubs became members, and in 2022 the top division of the Cheshire League (12 clubs) joined the CCCL. Below the Cheshire County Cricket League is the Cheshire Cricket League. Promotion and relegation is between all the divisions in the Cheshire competitions representing a classic county pyramid model.
