Everything about Cumberland County Cricket Club totally explained
Cumberland County Cricket Club is one of the
county clubs which make up the
Minor Counties in the
English domestic
cricket structure, representing the historic county of
Cumberland and playing in the
Minor Counties Championship and the
MCCA Knockout Trophy.
The club is based at the Edenside Ground,
Carlisle and also plays matches around
Cumbria at various places including
Workington,
Penrith,
Kendal and
Barrow-in-Furness. The last two places are actually outside the traditional boundaries of Cumberland: Kendal is in the traditional county of
Westmorland (which doesn't have its own Minor Counties team), and Barrow is traditionally in
Lancashire.
The
Minor Counties play three-day matches at a level below that of the
first-class game. At present, Cumberland competes in the Eastern Division of the Minor Counties Championship.
