Young players compete in fast paced matches with, and against, their friends in a great atmosphere. It offers a format of cricket to inspire and enthuse young people to stay in the game. In 2026, 21 clubs across 3 county divisions took part, wearing coloured kit, playing music and smashing a pink ball around. U19 Club T20 has had a positive impact on the game and helps to:

  • Retain young players within the game by providing them with additional opportunities to play with friends
  • Create exciting match day experiences.
  • Create volunteering opportunities for young players within the club

There are many reasons why players love U19T20. Some of the key areas are:

  • Participating with friends from their own age group
  • Competing against other peers
  • The opportunity to play cricket in front of a good crowd
  • The opportunity to create their own match day experience
  • Player statistics at a county and national level

Participating clubs can expect the following:

  • Access to discounted T20 kit both locally & nationally
  • 4 – 8 U19T20 fixtures, leading to a County Finals Day

Once clubs have entered, the Somerset Cricket Foundation will place teams into leagues based on geography, with fixtures to be played at convenient times for clubs between mid June and early August.
