Senior Leagues

There are 4 Senior Cricket leagues in Sussex:

Sussex Cricket League

This is the ECB Premier League in Sussex and has four 1st XI divisions (Divisions 1 and 2 and Divisions 3 West and 3 East), four 2nd XI competitions which mirror the 1st XI leagues and a 3rd XI competition. Each league contains 10 teams.

From the end of the 2010 season, the bottom club in the Sussex Cricket League Division 3 West and East will be relegated to the West Sussex Invitation Cricket League and East Sussex League respectively, with the winners of each of those leagues being promoted.

West Sussex Invitation Cricket League

This league was formed in 2009 through the merger of the West Sussex League and the Sussex Invitation Cricket League.  There are four 1st XI divisions and four 2nd XI divisions and from the end of 2010 the winners of this league will be promoted to the Sussex Cricket League Division 3 West.

Please note the WSICL website is currently under development following the very recent merger.

East Sussex Cricket League 

The East Sussex League contains 120 teams in 12 divisions each of 10 teams.  The league structure is free flowing such that a club's 2nd XI can be promoted to any level other than in the same division as their 1st XI.

Mid Sussex Cricket League

The Mid Sussex League contains 3 divisions of 16 teams and is not yet integrated into the league “pyramid” system, though discussions are currently taking place to try to achieve this.
