Open Age League Cricket since 1976
The present day Surrey Downs League started from very humble beginnings when just seven (7) clubs from the Surrey/Sussex border area met on Thursday 29 May 1975. in the Red Lion in Ockley (now the Inn on the Green).
The Surrey Downs League started in 1976 with just nine clubs as the Arun Valley League.
To reflect the area in which the present League covers, approximately a 12 mile radius of Dorking, the name of the League was changed to The Surrey Downs in 1997.
