Gonna try and organise a fundraising cricket match between Yorkshire based darlo fans and Durham darlo fans.

Played on a Sunday afternoon at the RA, £10 a man , 25/30 overs a side.
Get the BBQ on and a raffle etc .

Any interest ?

Stick me down Bus, give me a month to recover from a torn thigh muscle - if it's weather like this it'll be like Magaluf all over again!

Great idea

52 year old ex-wicketkeeper + middle order batter here just raring to go. Hopefully it doesn't clash with a DCCC home match as I'm more often spectating rather than playing these days. (Durham based, not Yorkshire)

Yeah, I'd be interested in this. Will spread the word with other Yorkshire based darlo-supporting cricketers. :thumbup:

Put me on the reserve list. I play cricket Saturdays so that wouldn't be a good day. I did something where batsman were limited to 20 runs and a few of us got sponsored per run.

I know the lads on the Sunderland messageboard run a 'social' team during the week / various Sundays so if you start to struggle to get 22 Yorkshire / Durham Darlo fans, we could possibly try and get a game against them.

Or even better - try and get teams from Sunderland, Hartlepool, Newcastle and Middlesborough and arrange a 20/20 tournament of sorts!

Perhaps York?

You can count me in. Durham preferably but could play for either side to be honest, my regular cricket club's ground straddles the County Durham/North Yorkshire border.

Left-arm medium bowler (tail-end batsman).

Yep. Do you play cricket in the D&DCL as well or do you just know your local cricket teams?

B*tch.

I distinctly remember beating King James on more than one occasion back during your time there. Albeit I had relatively little input - ManHitByDrum was far more influential.

This is true! I can distinctively remember your dad hitting us to all parts on quite a few occasions.

Thankfully I left for the more sedate pace of the North East Durham league! Mind you I went to watch King James last night take on Raby Castle (who had one or two first teamers out, the little toe rags!).

Raby got 217 off 20 overs.... Ouch.

Raby II smashed Richmond V for over 300 at the weekend as well. We get the pleasure of playing them on Saturday. I can see my bowling figures for the season taking a bit of a beating in all honesty.

Aye, a few of their lads happened to mention that last night. Apparently 500 runs were scored in the day with Raby getting 300, and Richmond making a decent stab at chasing them down with 200 or so.

Apparently the lad who got a hundred for them on Saturday was the youngest to do (16?) for the club.... That was until last night when a 15 year old got 100 and something against King James in 20 overs!

That's the one ground I miss playing at. Fantastic place.

I'd be interested in playing, but having been average back in the day and not having played in so long i'll be rubbish at best. It'll just be for a laugh. Will it be people who play regularly, or are there going to be peeps like me who haven't played properly in about a decade?

Well I play regularly but I can't say that I've ever played 'properly'.

I love playing at Raby as well; it's a really pretty ground. It's also not much bigger than Barningham so it has a similar feel to a home game - all it's missing is the slope down the wicket.

The 15 and 16 year-olds are likely to still be in the seconds on Saturday, aren't they? Any pearls of wisdom from last night as to how one might go about attacking them?

I hope the wicket at the RA is in a better state than the bowls green is. That's a vegetable patch of the highest proportions.

They no doubt will be. KJ let themselves down big time last night by bowling too short allowing them to loosen their arms. Best advice I can give is to get the ball right up there, give them nothing wide outside off stump because they'll punish you all day. Oh... and have a long-off and a long-on because they like to hit straight too.

Are you playing them at Raby? If so, don't get too down hearted if you look like you're going for a few runs because that pitch is like a carpet and if you beat the infield it's normally 4 all day.

Nope, we're at home so variable bounce and the hill to contend with on bowling. Just hope we're on a fairly central wicket so there's no obvious short (well, shorter) boundary for them to hit at. I've a fair amount of confidence in our bowling at the moment; we kept Cockerton down to 73 all out on Saturday (in 33 of 40 overs) and then kept them to 82 for 7 in 22 overs last night (with them having recruited a few first-teamers). Shame that score was in reply to 81 for 7; they went for a single on the last ball, our fielder could have ran it in but he threw it, missed the stumps and they got the win - a run out and we'd have won as the tie would have been decided on wickets.
