The East Sussex, Mid Sussex and West Sussex Leagues all merged with the Sussex Premier Cricket League before last season, but still played under their own league rules.

The leagues are now represented under one banner - the Sussex Cricket League - and at the AGM tonight, the formats of the divisions were decided.
