A new competition is being introduced for season 2026-27; the Premier League T20 competition, which in true T20 style is going to be over before you know it!

The first round is being played under lights on Friday 16 October, before the two winning teams play the final a couple of weeks later.

These matches will give our players the opportunity to showcase their T20 skills in the limited time that we have available before our team gets selected for the Country Championships.

These are the dates for our Tremain-Copeland Cup matches this season.

We've increased the Men's program to two days, with Colts and Under 16s the same as last season, having two 50 over matches and a T20 double header.

We still have some venues to confirm, but you can at least put the dates into your diary.
