Chertsey Premier League

For the uninitiated, CPL, or Chertsey Premier League, now in its tenth (and birthday) year, is sponsored by West End Garage, and is a bright, bold, interclub competition with four Chertsey-themed teams battling it out over 20 overs and four rounds, culminating in a big Finals Day send off Bank Holiday weekend in August.

Oh, and if you're wondering what the pirate ship in the corner of the ground is for, the team placed last after Round 3 has to man that for Finals Day as "punishment".

So, what’s it all about? Well, here’s everything you need to know:

• The CPL is made up of four franchises, in no particular order Bourne Stars, Grove Armada, Meads Enforcers, and Gogmore Knights. Teams play double-header matches one Sunday a month.
• It's a round-robin format, with two matches each Matchday, with a finals day held in August.
• An auction night is held at the beginning of each season to officially fill the roster of each team.
• Franchises can approach sponsors to help fund playing shirts and kit.

Our first Hall of Famer is Luke Westcott. Where do we begin? Captain of the Meads Enforcers, our longest-serving captain, the CPL Boss, he's behind every afterparty you've ever stumbled out of and isn't adverse to painting the pirate ship a completely different colour just because he wants to. On the pitch he's moulded the Enforcers into a team that is unbeatable, unplayable, and his back to back wins show the Meads dominance is in no danger of being broken soon.

Next up is David Sloan. Through and through Grove Armada, their talisman has scored the most runs ever in the CPL, surpassing 1000 runs in CPL10 Round 3. He's won the title twice with the Armada, and was retained for years for £1m, but this year we saw his true value, as joint-MVP and £13m. He's also the player with the most centuries - four, and is known to turn his arm over too, with 24 wickets. Just pure class.

Our final performance hall of famer is Jack Ogle. The best bowler in CPL history with 50 wickets to his name, and 20 catches, everyone wants "Bogey" in their side. He's played 35 matches for Grove Armada and Gogmore Knights, with best figures of 4/4, and can bat a bit too, in 2024 winning both the purple and orange MVP caps.
