Bedfordshire County Cricket League

Welcome to the Web Site of the most competitive Sunday Cricket League in the Country.
I had the honour of taking over from the Leagues founding Chairman, Bob Gray in 1998.
With Offley & Stopsley CC & Pilgrim Oakley CC joining in 2010 we now have 31 member clubs.
In 2005 we started to operate a single League ladder format that sees promotion & relegation between our five divisions.
In 2007 we added a Development Division
We field a Representative XI in the Club Cricket Conference Inter League Competition.
The Representative XI in 2009 beat the RAF Cricket Association at Leighton Buzzard Town on Wednesday 13th May in a friendly fixture
We then lost to the Kent League (Div 2, 3 & 4)in the second round of the Club Cricket Conference Inter League Knock Out (a competition we reached the Final of in 2007)
We also visited Southill Park CC to help them celebrate their 125th year.
The side is Captained by Carl Ferguson (Flitwick CC), scorecards & fixtures can now be seen on the Beds Cricket Board site.
In 2010 we visit the RAF on Thursday 13th May at RAF Vine Lane.
Hopefully we will once again take part in the Club Cricket Conference Inter League Knock Out
