The current ground seems quite nice from what I've seen, be interesting to see what the crack is. Rentaghost might know.
Im must admit I dont know anything about it. A great little cricket club though - a friend of the family Tommy Nicols played up there for years and had Wasim Akram and Desmond Haynes staying with him when they were pro there. Tommy does a bit of coaching at Durham I think.

rentaghost said:Tommy had an unbelievable eye - often opening the batting and just causing carnage from ball 1. Great bloke.
