The Oxfordshire Cricket Association now boasts 105 teams from 61 clubs competing in 11 divisions and 5 cup competitions. The Association promotes competitive cricket in Oxfordshire and the outlying districts, maintaining the integrity of competition with regard to 2nd and 3rd team cricket, and promoting the highest standards in all facets of the game. Both of these leagues are represented at the Clubs, Leagues and Competitions committee to air views and share problems. The major touch point being Child Welfare (under 18) and our joint commitment to the Safe Hands policy. |
