Thames Valley Cricket League


The Thames Valley Cricket League is a mostly amateur cricket league, catering to clubs geographically to the west of London, with clubs coming from Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Middlesex, Oxfordshire and Surrey, though most are from Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. The league, once the top level of amateur cricket in the area, has become a feeder league for the Home Counties Premier Cricket League since the creation of the Premier League, however the standard of the league is considered to be high, evidenced by the proliferation of Thames Valley League sides in the Premier Leagues, as well as the large uptake of expansion places in the league.

Format

The league is played on Saturday afternoons, and the matches are 100 overs in length. The side batting first can bat for a maximum of 52 overs, and the chasing team can use all overs not used by them. In Divisions 8 and 9, the matches are 90 overs on length with the side batting first allowed a maximum of 47 overs. Points are awarded as follows:
