Stanmore and North Midd went toe-to-toe for the title in Week 18 with the hosts ultimately coming out on top. Brondesbury end up silver medalists, Hampstead join Twickenham in heading to Div 1 for 2024. Richmond beat North London to secure a quick return to the top flight alongside Hornsey while Winchmore Hill fail to beat Acton and so drop back to Div 2. Elsewhere, Wycombe House go big and clinch the second slot in Div 2, Ealing Trailfinders pip Actonians in Div 3 and the Stallions fall at the final hurdle in Div 6. Tune in for the full lowdown.

Rain (and thunder and lightning) did their best to ruin Week 17, but plenty of cricket was still played. Twickenham blew the title race apart by beating North Midd, Stanmore beat Ealing. Cue a title decider when The Midd travel to Stanmore in Week 18. Elsewhere, Hornsey are champions in Div 1, Kenton gain promotion - in what sounds like entertaining fashion - in Div 2. Plus, the weird and wonderful case of a side declaring (when you can't) and an internal ruck meaning that Ealing Hanwellians don't even take to the field.... Learn more about your ad choices.

Ups and downs galore across the MCCL. North Midd edge away but still a gaggle of teams in contention. Hornsey are up and in the Prem in 2024 whilst top beats bottom in Div 3. Stallions, meanwhile, win a thriller in Division 6. It really is all to play for moving into week 17. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

With rain (again) decimating everything in Week 14 of the MCCL, Sal and Dan think forward to who's going where come September. One 1st XI is already promoted, three more could be at the weekend. Three sides across the eight divisions of 1st XI cricket are already relegated, three more could join them on Saturday. And what of the other runners and riders?  There's also been cup action in the Middlesex Trophy and indeed the national stages of the Vitality Club T20.

The destiny of the premier league title remains far from certain, but North Midd and Bron both gained valuable ground with wins in Week 13. Poor old Osterley (Div 1) and Tower Hamlets (Div 3) are now mathematically relegated, with United Sports (Div 5) all but certain to suffer a similar fate. Elsewhere, North London hit the top of Div 1, Old Isleworthians stretch away in Div 3 and the previously imperious Friends United have their wings clipped in Division 4.

Brondesbury continue their title charge, but the big guns are very much in and around them at the top of the Prem. North London edge closer to Hornsey and Richmond in Div 1, whilst Harrow beat Indian Gym in the game of the day in Div 2. Old Isleworthians plough on at the top of Div 3, Friends United (Div 4) and Pinner Challengers (Div 5) almost out of sight. Elsewhere, Twickenham triumph in a topsy-turvy T20 finals' day at Ealing.
