Yorkshire Cricket Southern Premier League

The Yorkshire Cricket Southern Premier League, known until 2020 as the Yorkshire South Premier League, was formed in early 2016, as part of the restructuring of club cricket in Yorkshire,[1] and is an ECB Premier League. Of the twelve initial teams competing, seven came from the now disbanded Yorkshire ECB County Premier League (Appleby Frodingham, Barnsley, Cleethorpes, Doncaster Town, Rotherham Town, Sheffield and Phoenix United, and Sheffield Collegiate), four from the South Yorkshire Premier League (Aston Hall, Treeton, Whitley Hall and Wickersley Old Village) and one from the Central Yorkshire League (Wakefield Thornes). The League headquarters is based in Bircotes, Doncaster.[2]

A process of promotion and relegation is in operation. Originally the bottom two teams each season were replaced by the top two teams from the South Yorkshire Championship, formerly South Yorkshire Premier League.[1] The South Yorkshire Championship amalgamed with the Yorkshire Cricket Southern Premier League in time for the 2021 season.

The league winners qualify to take part in the Yorkshire Championship, together with the winners of the Bradford Premier League and the Yorkshire Premier League North, and the leading Yorkshire club in the North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League.
