  • 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.

We’ve also got the Durham Beer Festival, which you might have been aware of thanks to our cover, coming up at the end of August. This really is a great occa- sion, so if you’ve never been to a beer festival, or if you’ve missed a few years, I urge you to give it a try. I promise it’ll be worth it. Also, I have to make an apology. In our last issue, not only did we misspell the landlady’s name, but we made a bit a mess of the date as well! As much as we’d love it to happen, and as much as Lesley herself would love it to happen, we just can’t see Ms Fyfe collecting the Durham Pub of the Year award for Framwellgate Moor’s Tap and Spile in 2103.

  • “One of the Greatest Ever Books on the Ashes” Frank Keating, the Guardian Introduction
    “One of the greatest ever books on the Ashes” Frank Keating, The Guardian Introduction THERE WAS A sick feeling in the pit of my stomach as I sat on the top deck of the number three bus winding its way towards The Oval in September 2005. I was headed to the final day of the fifth Ashes Test aware I could be about to encounter the sight I had gleefully avoided since I was at school: an England captain holding the Ashes. For 16 years I had enjoyed a succession of Australian victories; I had been at Lord’s in 1989 to watch Allan Border’s side begin this era of dominance and then at the SCG in 2003 as Steve Waugh’s team collected the Ashes after an eighth consecutive series win. Every two years, five or six Tests were played, and then a group of men wearing baggy green caps got to have their picture taken with the urn. But on that day eight years ago my fears were realised as I watched Michael Vaughan lift the Ashes and lead his side on a lap of honour. As I left The Oval an electronic sign above the Hobbs Gate flashed ‘The Ashes are Home’ in to the night sky, while England fans spilled out of the surrounding pubs. Since then this scene of English joy has become quite common and been repeated twice more with Andrew Strauss holding aloft the Ashes at The Oval in 2009, and again at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 2011 to usher in a new era of England dominance.
