The Scarborough Beckett Cricket League, founded in 1958, is a Saturday League that administer's cricket clubs that participate in its League, Cup[1] and Trophy competitions.[2] The league headquarters is based in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.[3]
The Scarborough Beckett Cricket League format is the result of an amalgamation with the Derwent Valley League in 2016.[4][5] The league consists of 5 Divisions. The Premier Division contains a maximum of 12 teams, Divisions 1 to 3 hold 10 teams and Division 4 contains the remaining teams.[6] Clubs participating in the league are mainly from eastern North Yorkshire, with some clubs from the northern border region of the East Riding of Yorkshire.
Since 2008, the Championship has fluctuated between four clubs, with Staithes Athletic winning 4 and Staxton 4 titles,[7] until the emergence of Filey, achieving a double championship win in 2018 and 2019.[8]
