However, sadly this year will mark our fifth and final season sponsoring the Surrey Championship. It has been an absolute pleasure being part of such an outstandingly well run organisation in recent years and it has been great to align Ryman with such a well-established cricket League that is steeped in history. From a personal viewpoint, it has been great to watch some truly inspiring cricket over the years and I will continue to follow the League closely. I am confident that the league will continue to grow and flourish under new sponsorship. Finally, I just want to say thank you to the Executive Committee, clubs, supporters and of course the players, who make it such an exciting league to be involved in. On behalf of myself and everyone at Ryman, we wish you all the best for the coming season and beyond!

The Panel operates in the 1st XI League from Premier Division down to Division 4 only. I would also like to express the thanks of the Panel umpires for the warmth of the hospitality that so many clubs offer our members over the summer months. We continue to see a steady flow of younger umpires wishing to join the Panel each season, and this year is no exception - we hope to be able to cover all matches down to Division 3 and most in Division 4 this season.
