26/2/2014 saw a good turn out at our 1st net at Blue Flames.

Nets are every Wednesday 7pm till 8pm last net 26/3/2014, members asked to make every effort to attend. 

We have been trying to book South North, however they do not have 2 lanes available for the dates we have, we could have booked odd dates but only for 1 lane, which is not what we wanted as we want to net as a club.

So we have booked Blue Flames staring Wednesday 26th February up to and including 26th March, starting at 7pm till 8pm, cost per player is £2.50. Hope to see as many members at the nets as possible, we have booked 2 lanes one for the 1st Team and the other for the 2nd team. 

We have organised a 1st team friendly with Morpeth CC to be played on Saturday 12th of April, 40 over game, venue Morpeth, Longhirst front pitch.

The 2nd Team are looking for a match on the same day.    

Tuesday 28th January saw a good turn out at our clubs AGM as normal, no changes with our committee and senior officers.

Our 8 a side team qualified for the 2nd stage of the indoor league at our first attempt, 1st stage we went through against New Hartley, Mitford, Ashington U17's.

Sunday 26th January saw the rugger boys come up against Percy Main and Tynedale in the semi-finals, we played Percy Main 1st and we posted 170 a very good score and the Main scored just over 100. 2nd game we played Tynedale we scored around 130 and Tynedale scored approx. 110.

That meant we won our group and played last year’s champions Blagdon Park in the final we did not bowl and field as good as we had done in the earlier games and we lost to a good young Blagdon Team. Blagdon scored 136 and we scored 110 approx., well done Blagdon Park.

Great effort by our lads at the first attempt in this format.

Big thank you to Tom Vickers who organised and ran the league.

Ashington Rugby Cricket Club is happy to announce the return of 3 former players, they are;

Chris Harwood he returns after 1 season at Blyth CC

James Richards he returns after  3 seasons at Ashington CC

Adam Peacock he returns after 3 seasons with his studies now complete at University and with him moving into the area with employment.

We have another player who is looking to commit to the Rugger Boys for the 2014 season, but we await his final decision. All of this is great news and will strengthen our club, we must be doing something right when former players want to come back.

On the back of that news, we are losing one of our up and coming youngsters to our local rivals Bedlington, we wish Matty Tanney well and if things do not work out he is more than welcome back at the Rec.
