Premier Leagues crown 12 new champions
The 2008 ECB Premier Leagues were plagued by some of the wettest weather in living memory as hundreds of matches were cancelled or abandoned due to rain.
Ormskirk crowned champions of Liverpool
Ormskirk went four whole weeks without a win yet still achieved 16 victories from 26 matches in 2008 to take the Business Assistance Liverpool and District Premier Cricket title with a five point advantage over last years champions Bootle and ten points ahead of third placed New Brighton.
Netherfield clinch Northern title
The 3D Sports Northern Premier ECB League reached an exciting conclusion as Netherfield were crowned champions after a dramatic final day's action.
Moddershall triumphant in defeat
Moddershall lost their final match of the season but in claiming seven Little Stoke wickets on their way down, they collected the three bowling points they needed to clinch the championship title in the Waterworld North Staffs and South Cheshire Premier League.
Ealing cap remarkable season
Ealing CC topped off a remarkable season as they beat Sunbury by two wickets to win the Evening Standard Challenge Trophy – and add it to a clean sweep of the top honours in the ECB Middlesex Premier League.
Sun finally shines on Walsall
After yet another abandonment due to rain, there was a sense of irony when Walsall were presented with their third successive Birmingham & District Premier Division title in bright sunshine.
Small grant scheme launched
The England and Wales Cricket Trust has launched a Small Grant Scheme, offering potential grants up to £1,000 to eligible ECB-affiliated clubs with a junior section.
Weather gods in dark mood for season end
All but eight of 128 scheduled ECB Premier League matches were either cancelled or abandoned last weekend as the weather gods proved hapless arbiters of the 2008 season's endeavours.
