Airedale-Wharfedale Senior Cricket League

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Airedale and Wharfedale Senior Cricket League was established in 1936 and is an amateur cricket competition in North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire. The league is structured into 6 divisions, with two clubs promoted and relegated into each division respectively. The league set-up was restructured in 2018 allowing club 2nd XI teams to be promoted into divisions that were previously reserved for 1st XI teams.[1]

Participating clubs are spread over a relatively wide geographical area in North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire. The location of the clubs broadly follow the valleys and landscapes of the River Aire and the River Wharfe.[2]

2022 Member Clubs[]

As of 2022, the league consists of six divisions of 12 teams, with a further two divisions primarily for a member club's 3rd XI.
