Vitality U19T20 Returns for 2021!

The Vitality U19 Club T20, a vibrant competition that lets young players take ownership within their club, is coming back to Somerset in 2021 after shortened summer of action in 2020 due to the Covid-19 Pandemic which saw the Bridgwater Red Sox, Congresbury Cobras, Hinton Hornets & Yeovil Whirlwinds win their respective area competition.

What is U19T20?

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 2019, over 650 clubs took part nationally, wearing coloured kit, playing music and smashing a pink ball around. U19T20 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

For more information and entry please visit: SCB U19T20 2021

The cost of entry to affiliated clubs is £45.00, which includes the provision of pink match balls for every game.

All entries should be completed by 28th February.
