Did any games get played last weekend?
What do you think the chances of any this weekend? Our ground is still properly soaking and we've called off our midweek match tomorrow already - if it rains again i fear for this weekend.

Just a shame we can't reschedule the affected matches in our league.
Could be week 3 before a game gets played, wait all winter and then this happens. Boo!

Not one game was played this weekend. Just been down to our ground (houghton) and play looks very probable could have played on it tonight. Who do you play for by the way?

I asked for games to be re-scheduled but it wasn't a very popular suggestion.

Belmont - our wicket looks ok but the outfield isn't great, we'd need to bring the boundary in from where the bungalows are by quite a difference, be smaller than Beamish!

Rescheduled..... I bet that went down well!

Although very unsure on who has signed who this year, I'll give a prediction of what I expect to happen.

I'll go for the top 4 from last year being roughly the same, Coundon, Whiteleas, East Rainton, Hunwick,

Think then there is 3 teams looking to break into that, Newton Aycliffe, Houghton, Belmont.

Think the rest will be pretty safe, the likes of Wearmouth, Beamish,

And personally reckon relegation is between Simonside and Coxhoe.

Personally feel East Rainton might win it this year, as I have heard a rumour they have signed a couple of oldish lads, who used to be very good. As I say though apart from Houghton I don't really know who has gone where from our league.

This weekends games being on/off purely depends on Thursdays expected downpour. If that isn't as bad as feared, we should be alright. Tomorrow, Friday and the weekend are meant to be relativity dry.

Any ideas who they are?

Also I wonder where Graham Dunn will go now that North Bitchburn have folded?

I was about to start off a NEDCL banter page but I think you lads have done that for me thanks.

Houghton marra. was looking forward to the start of the season at your place, (seen in earlier post you play for Belmont) Have you lot got anyone new in? What you expecting from this season??

Im considering asking our committee to change our name to AHoughton Colliery Cricket Club.
Then when every game gets rained off this season, we will win the league via Alphabetical order.....
