The teams finishing in first place in the two divisions played for the Western Morning News Cup with the winner declared champions of Cornwall.

The irony of St Just winning the first title was that they were initially opposed to an all-Cornwall league because of the increased expenditure of travel for teams in the far west.

There were a number of advantages to participating in the ECB league structure which included financial assistance of £9,500 per year and encouragement to improve facilities and coaching.

In 2004 the clubs decided to share the 110 overs per match equally and St Just won the first of their six successive championships beating Truro, the second-placed team, on the final day of the season.

The ECB Cornwall Premier League consists of ten teams each playing the others on a home and away basis, to make a total of 18 matches each.
