North Somerset Cricket League
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The North Somerset Cricket League (NSCL) is a cricket league in England serving the North Somerset, Bristol and South Gloucestershire area.
The NSCL was founded in 1969, with the first season taking place the following year. The aim of the league was to provide competitive cricket, with the hope of maintaining the interest of youngsters in the sport.
There were six original members of the league; Chew Magna, Chew Stoke, High Littleton, Nailsea, Whitchurch and Stanton Drew; and the first match took place on 19 April 1970 between Stanton Drew and Chew Magna. From these small beginnings, the league has grown, and now comprises over 80 teams, playing in 9 divisions.
Due to this expansion, and the desire of teams to play on different days, in 2007 the divisional structure was reorganised into Saturday and Sunday conferences. In 2009 a Sunday Premier Division was introduced, which allowed teams from higher leagues (such as the West of England Premier League) to compete without unbalancing the rest of the divisions.
