ALL TIME LEAGUE RECORDS
The Northern Cricket League was formed following
a meeting between eleven clubs at a Whalley Hotel on 10
November 1951 and commenced in the 1952 season. Nine of the
founding clubs were formerly members of the Ribblesdale League
while Kendal and Furness were former members of the North
Lancashire League.
Of the founding clubs, Blackpool, Chorley,
Darwen, Fleetwood, Kendal, Lancaster, Leyland, Morecambe and
St Annes have enjoyed unbroken service with the league.
Furness left after the 1958 season to re-join the North
Lancashire League. They were replaced by Netherfield, former
members of the North Lancashire League.
Leyland Motors resigned in 2006, merging with
Leyland after losing their ground. Preston joined from the
Liverpool Competition in 1953 while recent newcomers have been
Barrow (2004) and Carnforth (2006), both former members of the
North Lancashire League.
Lancashire Colts entered the League Division One
in 2010, playing each member club once all away from home with
the points couting in the league table.
Carnforth resigned from the League in 2012
The complete record of the competing clubs in
Division One games reads as follows:
There was no Championship in 2020 due to Covid-19
