I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all players, officials and supporters of South Park who have made the long journey north from Surrey. I hope they enjoy their weekend in the north east and have a safe journey back home tomorrow. Based in Reigate, South Park are members of the Cherry Red Records Combined Counties League. They won promotion to the Premier Division last season and are the current holders of the Surrey Premier Cup. Our only previous meeting with a club from their league came two years ago when we needed a replay to overcome a very good Chertsey Town side in the 5th Round of the competition. I would like to welcome to today’s game our match sponsors Molson Coors and their guests. Paul Caulfield, Simon Pollock and their friends. We are very grateful for your support. It also gives me great pleasure to welcome Shaun, Mark and the rest of team at Potts Print UK, our programme producers and printers. The club recently received an award for the best programme in the Northern League from Soccer club swap Shop. The great success of the club programme is due to Julian and everyone at Potts. Well done and thank you, for all, the hard work that goes into making the programme such a success. It is greatly appreciated by everyone at the football club. Last Saturday’s hard fought win over Consett took us top of the table and extended our unbeaten run to 10 games. We know that we are in for another tough game today but Ian will have the team well prepared as we seek to continue our remarkable run of success in the FA Vase. Please remember that should the scores be level after 90 minutes, extra time will be played and if there is still no winner, the replay will take place at South Park’s King George’s Field next Saturday. However, if the game is decided today, we will be at home again next Saturday when Penrith will be the visitors with Northern League points at stake. Paul McIlduff Chairman HOWAY THE BAY!

A healthy sized crowd of over 500 fans saw Whitley claim the points thanks to a rare Paul Robinson header in the second half. The fact that the game went ahead was due largely to the efforts of groundsman Dave Styles who produced a playing surface that Michael McMullen in midfield passed a mid morning inspection and apart from a narrow strip was prompting from midfield with accurate passes and was alongside the new stand, was frost free at kick off. looking much more effective than in recent games. It was Kerr who Consett, despite their lowly position in the table, came into the began the move that led to the crucial goal, with a pinpoint game boosted by their surprise Durham Challenge Cup victory at accurate pass through to Robinson who played the ball to Dale West Auckland in midweek. They started in much more confident who in turn found McMullen on the right wing. The youngster fashion that when the sides met at Belle Vue Park in September, whipped a perfect cross to the back post where Robinson came in enjoying more of the possession and trying to test Whitley’s reserve to head across Jameson into the net, a finish reminiscent of his team keeper Michael Hammond, who was deputising for the stoppage time winner against Barwell that sent Whitley to injured Kyle Hayes. Despite good approach work, their finishing Wembley two seasons ago. was wayward and Hammond was rarely put under any pressure. With half an hour still to play, Bay fans were hoping for more goals Whitley’s first attempt of note came after 11 minutes when Paul to cement victory but it was not to be.

Kerr then had an Consett defender on Robbie Dale some 25 yards from goal gave opportunity himself when he broke clear with just Jameson to beat Whitley a free kick out on the left but Dale wasted the opportunity, but his attempted lob lacked sufficient power and the keeper made firing the ball well over the bar. a comfortable save. At the other end, Consett’s Harrison Davies, who scored a hat trick Inevitably conditions deteriorated as the temperature dropped but in midweek and was posing a threat on the visitors’ left flank, players on both sides coped well and Consett pushed forward late curled a free kick wide of goal. For Whitley, Gareth Williams, on in search of an equaliser. Davies twice failed to get attempts on returning from injury, did well to cut the ball back from near the target while David Malloy, who worked as hard as any of the team right corner flag and Consett keeper Peter Jameson punched it in red, forced a rare save from Hammond who kept the ball out away from goal when he should really have held on to the ball.

  • 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.
