ECB Premier Leagues

Yeah, and I think it's one of the beauties of the Southern Premier League that, you won't know this, but we're doing some work on success and competitiveness around the leagues at the moment.

And currently, the Southern Premier League is coming out in the top 10% of competitiveness leagues around the ECB Premier League world.

We've got a little bit of work to finish it off and we'll get that done in a few weeks.

But there's also very little churn, as we call it, in terms of clubs going down and back up.

Hey, let's get round to Datchet.

Y- you're one of the first clubs we'll be talking to this winter who've been promoted to the top tier of Premier League cricket.

You've had a couple of years at Datchet out of the Premier League now, and, you know, I've got to ask you, after six games last season, you'd won three out of six.

Were you starting to go, "Hang on a minute.

Mm-hmm.

But how to build it from the bottom up, really.

So the long-term plan is, you know, we- we've created a winter academy, which has been really successful, um, where we can, we can, I guess, offer club cricket as something that other clubs can't.

So-

nicely.What, what, what I found was impressive was that, you know, the draw can sometimes favor certain clubs in how it's sort of set out, but for, for Bush it was tough game after tough game.

Every, every team was a, a Premier Division side, ECB Premier side.

You know, you had Banbury from the Home Counties in the next round.

Um, I mean, East Molesey, who won the Surrey Champ this year.
