Anyone else heard that Horden have folded or just getting mixed up because they not putting teams out for this shortened season
That’s a lad very worthy of a grand title to be fair
Always thought that folk understood Alec is taking the mick 95% of the time. And the other 5% he’s probably lying anyway! Not here to defend him, he’s a big lad & can do that himself. Not that there’s anything to defend, of course!
The ‘ELOPA Oval’ craic is a bit of fun at the expense of just such clubs to whom you are referring, such as the NEPL’s most successful club over the last 20 years, for instance, who have a nickname for their ground They described Burnmoor as a ‘sh*t hole’.....shortly after defeat there last year. I guess it’s a tongue-in-cheek reminder of that?
Also,ELOPA is Alec’s own business, hence easy to throw that into the gag.
Burnmoor still play at The Village Ground, you’ll be pleased to learn!
Bit of a non-story this, really.
‘Cricket club replaces Pakistani overseas player, no longer able to travel due to COVID restrictions and Durham contracted player, selected in England’s ODI training squad, with one bloke recently released by Durham’ would perhaps be a more accurate, if less eyebrow-raising headline?
And as for the money angle, it could also read: ‘Cricket club saves fortune whilst hoping to remain competitive, by trading two professional players & lots of travel & digs costs, for one recently unemployed, former professional player’?

Glad to hear it.Have definitely not folded.
A great bar in its hey day. Great club too and would love to see them get back to former glories.
I’ve spoken to a couple of their lads in last couple of weeks and they’re running juniors Coaching sessions and games and hopeful of a return to senior cricket in 2021.
