Guernsey joined Division 2 of theSussex Cricket League in 2016 after Sussex clubs voted unanimously to allow the island to join the competition,[24] playing as theGuernsey Sarnians. Guernsey Sarnians cannot be promoted or relegated as they will play fewer games. Each league team plays ONE match against the Guernsey Sarnians XI. The points from these matches are included in team totals, and the Guernsey Sarnians XI's points are factored (by adjustment of bonus points) to show their relative League position.[25]
