North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League


The Darlington Building Society North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League is the top level of competition for recreational club cricket in the North Yorkshire and South Durham area of England. The league was founded as long ago as 1892 with the first competition held the following year, but only since the 2012 season has it been a designated ECB Premier League.
The competing teams for 2020 are as follows; the letter D or Y indicates whether a club is from Durham or Yorkshire: Barnard Castle, Billingham Synthonia, Great Ayton, Hartlepool, Marske, Marton, Middlesbrough, Normanby Hall, Richmondshire, Saltburn, Stokesley, and Thornaby. While most ECB Premier Leagues have formally cancelled the 2020 season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and are running unofficial competitions in the second half of the season, the North Yorkshire and South Durham League has chosen to play an official, if shortened, competition.
Since 2016, the leading Yorkshire club in the league qualifies to take part in the Yorkshire Championship, together with the winners of the Bradford Premier League, the Yorkshire Premier League North, and the Yorkshire South Premier League. No team from the North Yorkshire and South Durham League has yet won the Yorkshire Championship.
