Will be good to see Simon Davis from Tudhoe perform in a higher league has been a wonderful batsman over the last few years....Be interesting too see how they both get on. Theyve been big fish in a little pond for a while now, especially Burnmoor.
Burnmoor will be one of the favourites for league as they spend a fortune on players
Bit different in the NEPL though compared to DCL
Not really, most of the clubs in NEPL2 are ex-DSL clubs that Burnmoor were generally beating a couple of years ago. The interesting thing in that league will be the bottom two places come September 2015 - there could be a lot of good money wasted by a lot of clubs in the panic to avoid relegation. I think Burnmoor and Tudhoe will both stay up quite comfortably.
Thats feasible but theres been a fair bit coin chucked around the previous two seasons comparison to what the same clubs were paying out only three seasons ago . As long as its sustainable its a non issue . NEPL 2 is a stronger league than the old DSL, teams have a lot more depth. Dont think it'll be as easy for Burnmoor to come in adapt to the new rules and dominate .
Burnmoor and Tudhoe have as much coin as just about anyone, and I've no doubt whatsoever that they'll both stay up comfortably. Spending the silly money that clubs are throwing round these days is rarely sustainable, and the test is where the club is in 5, maybe 10 years time. If these clubs were spending a big wedge to win a league or get promoted then it might be understandable - but realistically, most are doing it as they feel it's what they need to do just to stand still. At what stage does that become dangerous? There are no shortage of clubs that have spent their way into trouble in the past, and I'll bet that they all thought it was a good idea at the time. It will be very interesting to see the fall out from the promotion/relegation system over the next few years and how clubs approach it.

To be honest I find the money talk dull its the way its always been just rather than signing a Test Player on huge money the clubs who have historically had a big money pro have reverted to signing 3 or 4 local lads , more so in some cases - just the way the games gone up here. Dont think clubs are actually spending that much more than what they have in the past to be honest, nor would I say stupid moneys being thrown around, the clubs with the exception of possibly Washington who are still a relatively new progressive club have generally always spent a pound or two on players. Think theres less of what you'd call average players getting paid in NEPL 2 and the better players are collecting a slightly increased packet.
By Tudhoe away will be fun!! Based on the fact nobody in their right mind would ever want to go there I can see them doing well, especially at home.
Must have improved in the past 7 or 8 years.Have I missed something? I think its a decent place to play!
Heard tonight that all 3 teams, Littletown, Houghton, Burnopfield, accepted into Durham Cricket League.
