Again, the minor premiers will secure automatic qualification in to the decider while second and third placegetters playoff.
This season’s second grade competition will be known as the Sportspower Cup thanks to generous sponsorship by Wayne and Jenny Howard at Cowra Sportspower.
Three teams from Cowra along with Grenfell and Canowindra make up the competition for 2018/2019.
Four teams will contest semi-finals at the end of the regular rounds.

Each game is played in a 36-over format and begins at 1.30pm.
“These teams look pretty strong. Three out of the five sides have teams in the Lachlan Premier League so players can feed through to the top grade,” Cowra District Cricket Association president Greg Garlick said.
“I’d like to see more senior clubs involved with the junior clubs to help create a pathway into senior cricket.
“It’s been done in previous years by some clubs and it’s a proven success.”
