Yorkshire ECB County Premier League
The Yorkshire ECB County Premier League is the top level of competition for recreational club cricket in Yorkshire, England, and since 1999 has been a designated ECB Premier League.[1]
The competing teams in 2015, which will be the league's last season in its current format, are: Appleby Frodingham, Barnsley, Castleford, Cleethorpes, Doncaster Town, Driffield Town, Harrogate, Hull, Rotherham Town, Sheffield Collegiate, Sheffield United, York, and Yorkshire CCC Academy.
After the 2015 season, the league will be broken up to form the basis of two new leagues. Castleford, Driffield, Harrogate, Hull, Scarborough, York, and Yorkshire CCC Academy will join a new Yorkshire League North, together with five clubs who will be promoted from the York and District Senior League. Appleby Frodingham, Barnsley, Cleethorpes, Doncaster Town, Rotherham Town, Sheffield Collegiate, and Sheffield United will join a new Yorkshire League South, together with three clubs promoted from the South Yorkshire League and two from the Central Yorkshire League.
Both of these new leagues intend to have ECB Premier League status, and the Bradford Cricket League plans also to obtain this status. The winners of these three leagues together with the winners of the North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League will then contest a Yorkshire Championship.[2]
