Not played div 1 chiltern league myself but I'm pretty sure the top divisions of the tvl are a higher level. The Chilterns league is effectively a village league and the tvl is the dominant club level league in the area.

Old thread so apologies for the bump!

Having played TVL div 4, and currently play in Chilterns div 1, in my opinion the Chilterns div 1 is of a higher standard than TVL div 4. I played a handful of games in TVL 3 and again I would say the standard in Chilterns 1 was higher than the handful of teams I faced in TVL 3.

From speaking to my team mates and a couple of guys who have played high TVL and Home Counties but now playing in Chilterns, they believe that there are 3, maybe 4, clubs in Chilterns which would hold their own in TVL 2/top of TVL 3. Unfortunately in Chilterns 1 there is quite a big gulf in standard between the top 4 or 5 clubs in Div 1 and the bottom 5 or 6 clubs. A couple of sides I played last year would have struggled in TVL 5 or 6 I reckon - naming no names but a look at the table would reveal the clubs in question. To look at it another way, Wraysbury who finished 3rd or 4th last season, got to the national knock out stages of the Village Cup so there are definitely some good players in the league.

And Wargrave is a bit far from Windsor just for Sunday cricket...lovely ground mind. Closer to home, Cookham Dean, Taplow, White Waltham all have Sunday sides and all of them have nice grounds. I know nothing about Windsor CC and their set up so I can't comment on them.
