Eight counties will be invited to take part in each final. At the U19, U17 and U15 ages there will be a “Play-Off” match between the counties finishing the league in positions 5th to 12th.
At the U13 age group, the top eight teams in the league will be invited to the final – there will not be a “Play-Off” at the U13 age group.

Where possible we have attempted to avoid clashes with other circuit tournaments and National Age group events. However, some counties may still find that they have players who are unavailable due to other commitments.
NOTE 1: The reserved date for Play-Offs is shown in the table. However, once counties know who they are playing, they can mutually agree another date within the confines of those given by the League Secretary at the time of being invited to take part in the Play-Off.
NOTE 2: You may play Shires League matches after these dates, but they will not count towards either qualification for the Play-Off or the SL Finals.
