President : Francis Armstrong Esq.
The long tradition of cricket was interrupted for
several years prior to 2004 when several friendlies matches were successfully
staged in the latter half of the season.
Work was carried out on the square during the autumn of
2004 and then spring of 2005 before we staged a series of friendlies
throughout the summers of 2005, 2006 and 2007. In 2006 a 1926 Barford
and Perkins roller was acquired from
Benwell Hill Cricket Club.
Early in 2008, a new
committee was formed, the members of which are working to obtain
awards and grants in order to purchase new equipment including grass
cutting machinery, new storage facilities and pest control measures
to reduce damage done to the playing field and to the Castle Green
in general.
A brand new wicket was
constructed at the end of the 2008 season. This hopefully, will be
ready to be played on later this new season.
