What league were they in before they joined the NEDL ?
Think the current set up joined NEDL around 2007.Not sure if there's been cricket teams throughout the previous years

Sadly not, club defunct.
There was a team many years earlier on the Weardale league, but they folded. New club formed in 2007, rejected from Darlington District so entered NEDCL.Think the current set up joined NEDL around 2007.Not sure if there's been cricket teams throughout the previous years

My father was pro at Bearpark,in mid 1950's, and they played against Stanhope, in what was then the "Mid Durham Senior League". This was prior to the Durham County League being formed.Think the current set up joined NEDL around 2007.Not sure if there's been cricket teams throughout the previous years
Etherley were also in the league.
Not many players had cars and Bearpark would sometimes stay overnight at Stanhope, staying in the homes of Stanhope players. The "attractions" were the "Club" at Stanhope or the Cinema.
On Sunday the Bearpark players would make their way home by Public Transport ! That is dedication for you.
That’s brilliant, must’ve been great to have played when the leagues were in their pomp. Nowadays you’re constantly hoping enough clubs continue to exist.
My Father used to tell some great tales of cricket at that time. One in particular shows dedication that we rarely see nowadays.
As a young player at Philadelphia, in the early days of evening cup ties, they drew Castle Eden away.
Most of the players got a bus from Philadelphia to Houghton-le-Spring. A bus from Houghton to Easington Village and then they walked to Castle Eden.
They also had to take turns carrying the "team kit bag".
After the game, the return journey !!
Also, remember, only the "pro" got paid. All the rest, paid to play !

On the plus side, Sunday participation continues to grow slowly. Still a net reduction though.
Then after the game....they had to make their way back. Unbelievable really in today’s society

Who poached their players?
Just a general comment from the former player involved, but really good the club are trying to reform. Not sure they will manage two teams as yet.
You only need one team in the new system. Be a good news story for local cricket if it’s true anyway.

I’ve nothing to do with it, but did get a message off a former player a few months ago saying they had contacted the council over the ground situation,
But I don’t think anything will happen before the start of this season.
