Just wondered if anyone on here is playing Prem at the mo?

[Mr Cricket]

play equivalent of prem on sundays and play 1 level below prem on saturdays.

Leo, do you mean ECB Premier?

Our first team play Palace Shield Premier, but I wouldn't class that as a Premier league like the Yorkshire League or Northern League etc...

[Howzat]

Yeah Johnny I mean in the ECB Premier Leagues, and in answer to kookaburraking - Im just wondering

The difference between Premier league and Div 1 compared to Div 2 and lower in Surrey is huge... I played a season of Div 1 and averaged 12 - now I may have had a few technical issues then, seriously I was massively found out!!

That's one of the Leagues I have played in.

I'm quite priviledged to have played at a very high standard (Yorkshire League and Northern League), and been in those sides on merit, without ever having actually been good enought to play at that standard.

As Buzz has alluded to, the step up is massive. I've always been good enough at the level below to warrant an extended run at 1st team level, and consequently I've had the chance to play with and against some exceptional cricketers. Not quite up to it myself though, hence one of the reasons I'm content to play more locally these days.

Sunday prem... that's a new one!

Its a 6 county league with various prem champions and other teams that arent far off, we are able to compete through prioritising sunday cricket while other teams sometimes lose a player or two to minor counties fixtures. If we prioritised saturday cricket we could play prem but in reality, our local prem isnt as good as what we can play on sundays, never called it a sunday prem but its the closest you could get.

I have played premier league cricket most of my life including Lancashire league,bolton league and played a season at Devizes in the west of england orem and had a few months at acton in the middlesex prem i think it was??.

The only difference i found was strength in depth and wickets and of course the proffesionals .
