Greater Manchester Cricket League
The Pennine Cricket League has confirmed that there are 17 clubs wishing to join the Greater Manchester Cricket League (GMCL).
A GMCL spokesperson said: "Those applications have been accepted and we look forward to welcoming them into the competition for the start of the 2018 season.
"The work to visit each ground is well underway, with nine completed already and Mike Hall and his team will move quickly to visit the remainder.
"This work will ensure we are able to place clubs on facilities and merit just as we did when the league was formed in 2016.
"An interim statement with key points will be issued in the coming days and we are on course to deliver the plan for the revised divisional structure to add up to 34 Saturday teams on or before 31 uly as we said we would.
"The actual placement of the new clubs will follow later when all determinations have been made.
"The board ratified the structure proposals made for 2018 and we will now work to prepare this for delivery to our members."
