On resumption in 1919-20 after the War, the team from Midland altered its name to Midland-Guildford, the name they still bear today, and the competition had six teams in both First and Second Grades.
This situation lasted two seasons before the Fremantle group were returned to the fold in 1921-22, fielding a First Grade team and two teams in Second Grade. The uneven number of seven teams in First Grade existed for two seasons. However, in an effort to prevent the bye, the North Perth team, having a surplus of players, agreed to field two teams in First Grade in 1923-24.
Two major developments occurred in 1924-25. Firstly, parts of the North Perth and East Perth teams became Maylands-Mount Lawley thus displacing the second North Perth team in First Grade. Secondly, a C Grade was formed due to increasing player numbers. Five teams took part, but it was not compulsory for a club to field in each of the three grades. Second Grade was now composed of ten teams.
The increasing popularity of cricket was placing demands on the administration - and on local councils to provide suitable playing areas for the summer sport. Twelve teams nominated for Second Grade and the Cricket Council opted to have an East and West division, with six teams in each. Meanwhile, the C Grade increased by another team to make seven in all.
At the WACA's 1928-29 Annual General Meeting, Members present voted to change the word "Cricketing" in the Association's title to "Cricket."
