Devon Cricket League announces changes for 2018 with ‘All-through’ league

The Devon Cricket League has announced that it is to have a complete overhaul of its league structure from the 2018 season.

The decision was ratified at an extraordinary annual general meeting of the league held in Exeter.

The proposal that had been put to the clubs was: “That from the 2018 season the Devon Cricket League becomes a Single Tier Structure (All Through League) in line with the structure plan attached with this agenda. Promotion and relegation will take place on the basis of two teams being promoted and two teams being relegated from each division.’

There were 50 clubs in favour of the proposal and 14 against and therefore the proposal got the required two-thirds majority.

A league statement issued after the meeting said: “The League will now commence the process of looking at any changes that will need to be made to the constitution and playing regulations. These will be circulated to clubs with a view to their being discussed at both the club chairman’s and end of season divisional meetings in 2017.

So how will the NEW league structure look? Below is the make-up of the all-through league with the new division’s made up depending on where teams finish in their respective divisions in the coming 2017 Tolchards Devon League season.
