The inaugural meeting of the original League was on 14th April, 1970 and league cricket commenced in May, 1972. We had 14 clubs initially, two more joining in 1975, as did two more in 1979. In 1988 a further two clubs joined and one departed. The following year we gained another club to ensure our complement of 20. Following our reconstitution, 1993 saw 39 clubs join the league, 30 from the Lee 75 and Morrant Three Counties, both of which were disbanded. We then elected 9 new clubs to the reconstituted league. In 1994 with one club joining, we were at our full size of 60 clubs. 2000 sees us with 51 clubs including two at 3rd eleven only and playing in divisions set out in the 2000 Fixtures section of this Web Site.
