Two new Sunday cup competitions are to be launched by the Oxfordshire Cricket Board next season.

The OCB have decided to go ahead with the two new competitions a KO Cup and a 40-plus cup after inviting entries from clubs in the county.

They have taken the initiative on board in a bid to halt the overall decline of Sunday cricket in the county.

Both competitions are aimed at supplementing clubs' existing Sunday friendly fixtures.

Teams participating will play only a limited number of fixtures in the inaugural season, probably on a league basis.

Fixtures will be with clubs by the end of this month.
