2nd top Ulgham (away)and bowled them out for 39 runs; DG 13 overs, 7 wickets, 10 runs

4th top Monkeseaton (away) and we lost the toss and were asked to bowl and we bowled them out for 40 runs; DG 13 overs, 4 wickets, 16 runs.

Our lads had a great night at Blue Flames, great laugh and banter all night. Big thank you to Jim (The Hoover) Peacock who treated our members with 3 bottles of bubbly.

Dean also collected the runners up trophy for the 1st Division after a great finish from the 1st team snatching the runners up spot from Kirkley CC who ended up 3rd.
