NEW TEAMS: OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITIES
The Oxford and Cambridge University Championships also grow to ten teams each. Teams from Pembroke and King’s Colleges are now part of the championship in Cambridge, while Wadham College and St Edmund Hall join in Oxford. The Oxford University Championship could have grown to twelve teams, but with insufficient interest for Cambridge to do the same it was decided that the competitions should retain the same format, to simplify the scheduling of the Varsity Series.
Both leagues will play a thirty-six game schedule, with midweek games scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays one week and just on Wednesdays the next. After every nine games, there is a spare midweek with no scheduled games and the idea is to allow rescheduled games to be placed there, reducing the likelihood of too many double games or fixtures late in June.
