League Merger Update 23rd October 2024
The Surrey Cricket League, Surrey County League and Surrey Championship recently held EGM/SGMs in order to vote on motions to dissolve their current leagues in favour of creating a new league. These motions were all passed which means the Surrey Cricket Championship will be created, with its inaugural season in 2025.
As a result we (The Surrey Cricket Foundation/Surrey Cricket Championship, “SCC”) have opened the window for new clubs to apply to join this new league. You will find the following draft documents that will provide some of the key information you might require in order to make an informed decision about applying to join the new league and this includes:
- Summary of Playing Conditions for Tiers 1-4
- Guide for Promotion and Relegation
- Facilities and Grounds Guidelines
If your club would like to apply to join the new league please complete the following application form no later than Friday 8th November (and ideally by the end of October if you are currently playing in another Surrey League):
If you have any specific questions or queries regarding the possibility of joining the new structure please contact Simon Hards on shards@surreycricket.com in the first instance.

Dear Clubs
As the season (2023) ends, Surrey Cricket Foundation will be embarking on a series of consultation events linked with the ongoing discussions around the creation of a new, merged league, in Surrey.
Working with the Surrey County League, AJ Sport Surrey Championship, and the Surrey Cricket League we will be hosting four face to face events along with an online event from late October.
The consultation events are open to players and club committee members from clubs playing in ALL leagues across Surrey and we would encourage you to come along if you can. The dates for the events were:
- Monday 30th October – 7.30-9.30pm at Ashtead CC
- Wednesday 1st November – 7.45-9.45pm at Merstham CC
- Tuesday 7th November – 7.30-9.30pm at Wimbledon CC
- Thursday 9th November – 7.30-9.30pm at Chobham CC
- Monday 13th November – 7.30-9.30pm Online
Ahead of the event we will be producing and sharing a prospectus which provides some background on the project’s progress to date along with some emerging thinking around what a new league structure could look like. We will be hoping that this document provokes some thinking so you can come to the consultation events with any questions and feedback you might have about the progress made to date.
If you are unable to attend any of the consultation events, you can use the form below to make any comments about the emerging plans as well as asking any questions you have about the project:
Surrey Cricket Foundation will be sharing this information with players who completed the player survey and asked to be included in the consultation and would ask you to share this widely with your playing membership as well so we can ensure we hear the views of as many people as possible.
Surrey Cricket Foundation look forward to seeing you at one of these events over the coming months
