Pink balls and derbies for 2017 T20

The initial draw for the 2017 1st XI Joseph Holt T20 Trophy sees 10 groups of three/four teams put together on a 'no seeded' basis and aimed to restrict travelling.

Full dates and details are to be ratified at the upcoming League AGM but we will see pink balls used and a knock out basis in the later stages. Games are likely to remain midweek and the Final's day host will be drawn between the four participating sides. A Cheshire side will also host the area finals this year.

CBH's group includes Alvanley, Barrow and Christleton.
