CPL9 Round 2

For the uninitiated, CPL, or Chertsey Premier League, now in its ninth year, is sponsored by West End Garage, and is a bright, bold, interclub competition with four Chertsey-themed teams battling it out over 20 overs and four rounds, culminating in a big Finals Day send off Bank Holiday weekend in August.


Oh, and if you're wondering what the pirate ship in the corner of the ground is for, the team placed last after Round 3 has to man that for Finals Day as "punishment".


So, what’s it all about? Well, here’s everything you need to know:

The CPL is made up of four franchises, in no particular order Bourne Stars, Grove Armada, Meads Enforcers, and Gogmore Knights. Teams play double-header matches one Sunday a month.

It's a round-robin format, with two matches each Matchday, with a finals day held in August.

An auction night is held at the beginning of each season to officially fill the roster of each team.

Franchises can approach sponsors to help fund playing shirts and kit.
