    Darlington Cricket Club 2nd XI Presentation 2013 Season The 2013 Season There were big hopes for the second team before the season opened. The team looked strong on paper but found themselves struggling for penetration with the ball in their early games. The season's opener saw ex Darlington professional, John Glendenen put our attack to the sword as he smashed 112 at Feethams for Marske 1st team Marske made 227 -7 with Dan Baldwin taking 5 for 66 with his left arm spin. Thanks to 55 from Danny Morgans we held on for a draw finishing with 150 for 6. Next we had two defeats. We lost our games at Whitby and at Feethams to Great Ayton. At Whitby we never scored enough runs, losing by 9 wickets and similarly against Ayton nobody went on to make a big score after getting starts. Callum Lethbridge made 49 and Adam Baldwin and Roger Briddock got into the thirties. We lost by 4 wickets. The next match was at Maltby and saw us look like a different team. Set a target of 293 by Maltby, the experienced Keith Barker (110*)and Dan Morgans (114)both scored centuries. Indeed despite coming close previously, this was Morgans maiden century for the club. |Matty Wheeler chipped in with 41 as we won by 8 wickets! Mysteriously Roger Briddock was left out of the team for the visit to Feethams of Marton and he left the club to return to Sedgefield. 86 from Callum Lethbridge was the mainstay of our total of 175 all out.

  • 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.
