  • A HISTORY of CLUB CRICKET in COUNTY DURHAM Chapter One
    A HISTORY OF CLUB CRICKET IN COUNTY DURHAM Chapter One..........The eighteenth century In the beginning The first recorded cricket match in Durham was at Raby Castle in 1751. It was five years after the Duke of Cumberland and bayoneted Redcoats slogged through the county’s mud on their way to the Battle of Culloden. Defoe’s account of his travels through Great Britain had not long been published. Defoe found nothing remarkable in Darlington or Chester-le-Street except “dirt” but was impressed by Lumley Castle and acknowledged Lumley coal the best in the country. He thought Durham a “compact neatly contriv’d city” where clergy lived “in all the splendour and magnificence imaginable”. Durham cathedral and Saint Cuthbert’s remains were a shrine for pilgrims but the city was a vulnerable haven riding on a cut-throat sea. The poor lived in slums; the populace was prey to vagabonds, footpads and highwaymen. The Bishop of Durham bewailed “the scorn of religion”. His flock scratched a living on the land or burrowed beneath it for lead and coal; their leisure centred upon drinking and blood sports like cock-fighting. In 1742 John Wesley came across a village “inhabited by colliers only, and as such had been always in the first rank for savage ignorance, and wickedness of every kind. Their grand assembly used to be on the Lord’s Day on which men, women and children met together to dance, fight, curse, and swear, and play chuck-ball, span farthing, or whatever came to hand.” Somehow, sometime the game of cricket took root in these parts.

  • Darlington Building Society NORTH YORKSHIRE and SOUTH DURHAM ECB PREMIER CRICKET LEAGUE Founded 1892
    JUNE 2020 Darlington Building Society NYSD NORTH YORKSHIRE AND SOUTH DURHAM NEWSLETTER ECB PREMIER CRICKET LEAGUE Founded 1892 A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS No apologies for headlining our second lockdown newsletter with the magnificent Marske CC mural which was included in an ECB presentation to every county in the country in mid-May — the topic was ‘cricket connecting communities and improving lives’. In the following pages we devote some well-deserved space to a few of our clubs who have inspiring stories to tell, and we also include a story about a local cricket fanatic who has been involved on the NHS frontline. Our first newsletter was issued on what would have been the opening day of the 2020 season — since then the May Bank Holidays have come and gone with the ECB suspension of all recre- ational cricket still in place and uncertainty as to when, if at all, we might get a start, although as we write small steps are being taken out of lockdown, offering a glimmer of hope. The League provided clarity to their clubs from the outset of the crisis via contingency plans that have proved remarkably prescient — they remain as relevant as the day they were issued, and provide some guidance about what NYSD cricket may look like if and when the green light is eventually given. Inside this issue: Through This Test Together 2 SUMMER’S HERE !! Around the World 3 Oh the irony!
