The new grass is looking good after the area was covered with our 3 germination sheets, which we moved the on Thursday 1st October to another area of the square, hoping the growing weather stays with us a little longer.

We have purchased another 4 sheets and should have them early next week to help boost the grass growth on the rest of the square.

Our Chairman/Treasurer still needs to know how many people will come to our event along the names for the horses and the money from the horse sales and from our sponsored races.

We still have outstanding match fees owed to the club from the 2015 season can the captains chase this up ASAP along with their match fee sheets.

We started our work on Thursday 17^th September our groundsman had help from Ryan Pringle, David Wanless Snr, Craig Jobson for part of the day, We also had a guest John Bound put in an appearance with his Clubs scarfier big thank you to John and Alnmouth and Lesbury CC for their support. Thursday we scarified, seeded, fertilised, loamed and drag matted our square, we also dismantled our mobile covers and sight screens and put them away.

Our work was finished off on Friday with help from Dean Greaves supporting our groundsman they level off our worn ends, fitted our germination sheets and fenced in our square with mesh to keep the rabbits and the footballs off (hopefully).

Both our fixtures against Bomarsund CC was called off due to the heavy rain, leaving our season finishing on a low.

The first team finished 3rd in the Northumberland Premier Division our highest ever finish and our second team finished 4th in Division 2.

Never mind it was great to see so many turn out for our end of season drink starting at the club and then going down the street.

Another honour for our club Cory Milburn capatined the Northumberland League under 21's side at Whitburn CC in the U21 final, where they came up against a very strong North Yorkshire & South Durham (NYSD) League team. Cory lost the toss and we had to bowl on a red hot day.  The NYSD team posted a great score of 306 for 4, two of their players hit hundreds. The Northumberland side tried their best but were no match against a top top side, the Northumberland team were all out for 152, with Cory top scoring with a lusty 49 including 4 hugh sixes one of which hit the club house first floor windows.
