On Wednesday 26th November, Emmbrook and Bearwood CC kindly hosted a Mixed Boys Berkshire Youth Cricket League Forum. This session was arranged following feedback received from the post season survey sent out by Berkshire Cricket to clubs who had participated in the BYCL during 2025. It provided an in- person opportunity for clubs to discuss key themes they had identified as working well and where further improvement could take place.
Clubs were placed into groups and asked to discuss the below topics
-
Fixture Organisation
-
Challenge and Blast Guidance
-
League Structure and rules
The forum enabled lots of ideas to be generated which will now be reviewed and considered ahead of updating the guidance for 2026.
The entry forms for 2026 have been sent out by Fixtures Co-Ordinator Barry Carter – Here is the timeline for next steps . . .
