The 1st XI end their innings on 142-8 against Gateshead Fell. Can't quite believe what I've just seen from Quirรณn Gilmor. Maybe a cricketing first.

It's time for the match report from today's 1st XI game (this is the only game I watched so can't report on others).

Skipper Alan Mustard done yet another fantastic job of losing the toss. As per this mornings post, Seaham Harbour got the choice as expected and inserted us into bat.

After the skipper departed for zero (what a day for Mus), Tyler Easton and Jim Twiddy rebuilt the innings. Wickets fell around Tyler including the worst shot of all time by a certain Edward Hurst. Honestly, what a swipe it was. If he he hit the ball it'd be landing in the river Tyne right about now. As things went, the tail wagged (Again. they're proper players to be fair) and supported Tyler. Tyler was absolutely tremendous in hitting 101. Genuinely one of the best grafting innings this spectator has witnessed. An Elliot Fox masterclass (this mans favourite cricketer) at the end seen us up to a defendable total of 224-9.

In response Seaham Harbour were in trouble at 22-2 with the absolute legend Paul Leonard taking both early wickets. From then the Harbour recovered with contributions from Dan Shurben (42) and Micky Allen (31). At 111-5 we were in charge but Jake Pattison (28) and Regan Pattison (33) had other ideas. They got The Harbour into a winning position and at 166-5 it looked like defeat was looming.

Step forward Jim Twiddy (3-39) and Hugo Knowles (also, 3-39). They both bowled very accurately to ensure we went onto victory. My favourite Elliot Fox picked up 2-37 as well in the march towards victory.

Somehow, we're now 2nd in the NEPL Premier Division. We go onto next week when we travel to Chester Le Street for the best tuck shop in the league.

The first XI host Seaham Harbour today in the NEPL Premier Division. Following three shoulder operations this week, Paul Leonard will be looking for a repeat performance of his 5 wicket haul in last weeks victory at Shotley Bridge. Everyone's favourite rocket scientist, Elliot Fox, returns from whatever expedition he was on last weekend.

The Harbour will be telling Alan Mustard whether Felling are batting or bowling at approx 10.30am and the game starts at 11am, so get yourselves down for a beer or two and support the lads.

The 2nd XI get a trip to the seaside as they head down to Whitburn. Following some below par results in the league of late, it was good to see the 2nd XI come out on the right side of last nights cup tie against Philadelphia. M&S have closed down their metrocentre store today to allow Calum Wright to play cricket. The first Whitburn batter to hit him for 6 today wins a year's supply of percy pigs.

In other news, Kieron Gilmour, embarking on the worlds longest holiday, has decided he isn't leaving Mexico after all having been recruited by a local cartel. Following their win in the world cup on Thursday evening, Kieron has ripped up his NUFC season ticket and has switched allegiances to the Mexican national team. Locals are already sick of hearing his ode to Raul Jiminez at 3am - Si Senor ๐ŸŽถ โšฝ๏ธ

Good luck to both teams today and most importantly, don't forget to get down the club and spend some money behind the bar!

It's time for drunken match report!

At Shotley Bridge the 1st X knew that on a rainy day the toss was crucial. Keeping up with recent form Alan Mustard managed to lose yet another toss (it's honestly defying mathematics at this point for such a massive tosser to keep losing these) and we were enforced into bat on a day when the weather was almost certain to have a big say.

As it played out we didn't actually lose as much time in the game as anticipated. A gritty 38 from Jim Twiddy was ably supported by 21 from Alasdair Appleby and 19 from Eddie Hurst. However it was Liam Stamper batting at 8 that played the crucial innings, hitting his maiden first team fifty for his score of 52 and ensuring we had 208 to defend.

In reply, Paul Leonard rolled back the years and got two wickets with the first two balls of the 2nd innings to leave Shotley Bridge reeling at 0-2. The Greenwell/Burdon partnership put Shotley into a winning position and at 172-4 there was only one result in the mind of this spectating fool. Paul Leonard, in his advancing years, had other ideas. He wiped Shotleys lower order out to see them all out for 186 and get himself figures of 5-19 off his 9.3 overs. Blokes still a legend despite "the ball wont swing if its wet". Greenwell and Milburn both made fifties for Shotley and both should be noted as really good efforts in tricky conditions.
