The successful team will represent Wiltshire in the National Indoor Cricket competition. We have been drawn at home and will play Dorset (Poole CC) on Sunday, 24th February 2008. The venue at this stage is not known but clearly it would be fitting for our County winners to play at their home League venue.
Balls and scoresheets will be provided on the day and I take this opportunity to wish all teams the very best of luck and look forward to seeing you on the day.

County Indoor Cricket
At present there are four Indoor Cricket Leagues operating within Wiltshire. These are the Chippenham Indoor Cricket League, Salisbury and District Indoor Cricket Association, Savernake Forest Indoor Cricket League and the Swindon Indoor Cricket Association.
Currently the four leagues play out their seasons individually and from this provide a champion to compete at a county finals day held in early February of the following season. The winner from this competition then goes on to represent the county at the ECB National Indoor Competition which is run primarily by Patrick Mahoney, competitions manager for the ECB.
The games consist at the moment of a preliminary round in late February followed by the Regional Finals which are held at the Somerset School of Excellence at Taunton in early March. The winners from this venue then travel to the Indoor School at Lords for the finals.
