Whereas the League are affiliated to ECB via NCB, individual 'nomadic' clubs who are independent of any League CC must also be affiliated. The fee for 2026 is 20 pounds.
Details, including available benefits, may be found at
https://ncb.play-cricket.com/web_pages/club_affiliation.
Several clubs have not yet completed their affiliation.
This is really important for both the league and the board to ensure the processes are in place for jurisdiction as well as the affiliation benefits
