I'm not sure of any way to really divide it geographically cleanly though. North and South would almost work, except that they're each distinct regions (in that model the west Philly and center city teams would end up on the "south" division). You might want to name the leagues Franklin and Penn or something like that.

You're touching on a problem I ran into while coming up with the league...
Doing it North/South just seemed too common/stereotypical. When looking around for ideas I noticed that all three of the real-life cricket clubs are based in the western half of Philadelphia, with Merion actually based slightly west of Philadelphia itself in Haverford.
I did see some sources that refer to "West Philadelphia" as its own area, with "Near Northeast Philadelphia" and "Far Northeast Philadelphia" as other sections of the city. So, between that and the cricket clubs all being west, I decided on the East/West split.
