Quick Facts Countries, Administrator ...

The original South Wales Premier Cricket League did not include all of South Wales's leading clubs. Its clubs came from South Glamorgan and the traditional county of Monmouthshire, while clubs from further west played in the South Wales Cricket Association, a league which has been in existence since 1926. That league too sought ECB Premier League status, but the ECB was not willing to accredit two Premier Leagues in South Wales.

In 2010, the South Wales Premier Cricket League was reorganised. The top five clubs in the 2009 season, together with the top five clubs in the South Wales Cricket Association in 2009, formed a new Premier Division. The original league became a feeder to it and was renamed as the Glamorgan and Monmouthshire Cricket League, and in 2016 it was renamed again as the South East Wales Cricket League. The South Wales Cricket Association continued to operate, and became the other feeder to the South Wales Premier Cricket League. Before the 2015 season, the South Wales Premier Cricket League formed a Division Two by taking five further clubs from each of the two feeder leagues.[1]
