Nov 22, 2017, 7:10 pm We attended the last AGM for the Northumberland Cricket League on Tuesday 21st November and then new joint league AGM for the newly formed Northumberland & Tyneside Cricket League. Fixtures will be out soon, we were informed that the first league game will be played on 14th April 2018, 1 week earlier than we used to start. When the fixtures are released members will be informed and fixtures sheets will be given out. Leagues 1 & 2 will have 2 umpires for each match and leagues 3, 4 & 5 North and South will have 1 umpire, if there is any spare umpires they will be given position's in League Division 3 to try to get this league up, to 2 umpires for each game. League Division 6 North and South will have no umpires. It will certainly be a change from what we have been used to with clubs from our old league now looking for professionals, our club is not one of those, we will be playing with what we have and any new players who want to play for us without a payment. Nov 17, 2017, 9:12 pm If members are looking for a present for Christmas this year why not look to order some of our clothing range. If you want it for Christmas you will need to let your Chairman know by no later than Friday 24th November. Nov 11, 2017, 6:48 pm
The new season starting 2018 will see the merger of the Northumberland & Tyneside Senior League and the Northumberland Cricket League to form a league with 8 divisions, the bottom 4 being regionalised to try to cut down on the traveling. Northumberland & Tyneside Cricket League 2018 Structure
Nov 5, 2017, 7:52 pm Our cricket square had its first aeration since the end of season renovations today 5th November. Aeration helps the square with drainage, getting air in the soil and it also supports the grass root system. We try to do our aeration at different depth each year so not to have the root zone at one depth, which can cause problems. Oct 31, 2017, 11:29 pm Following the end of season work (big thank you to our Groundsman and Dean Greaves who helped out) where we once again invested heavily in improving our square, with 3.5 tonnes of Surrey loam and 4 bags of seed along with the fertiliser and the green on granules treatment. The square is looking very good the best grass coverage we have ever had; our groundsman was looking pleased when he was over last Saturday to cut the square grass down as it had grown so much. Next job sometime soon will be the aeration of the square when the weather is right with the square being firm enough to get our machine on without causing any damage. Oct 31, 2017, 11:21 pm We have booked Bede School in Blyth again for 10 weeks starting Monday 29th January 7:30pm till 8:30pm. More information will come out nearer the time. Oct 23, 2017, 10:09 pm We host Chorley Cricket Club from the Lancashire Northern Premier Cricket League on Sunday 8th April 2018. They are coming up to the North East to play South Northumberland CC on Saturday 7th April and then coming to the "REC" to play the Rugger boys the next day. Former Chorley player Adam Peacock was instrumental in this fixture being organised. It is early in April so we all know what the weather can be like, so if the game cannot be played I am sure the Chorley lads will be up for a session in the club house. |
