Would think Raine and Hogg will play and maybe Mitch will get another game to strengthen his case for the Notts opener Also the Lighthouse could be switched on

Anyone got JS Wilkinson's telephone number ?

Ian Conn or David Sweeney might be a better bet

DL Nevins with his slightly curving run and Mallen streak may be worth a look.

I'll raise you George Bull and Paul Beaney

I'll raise you George Bull and Paul Besney

I can remember when George was part of the all conquering Phili team. Do you mean Paul Beaney? Back in 77 at Wednesday night net practice at Ropery Lane under the watchful eye of Durham legend Alec Coxon I made the almost fateful error of any naive 13 year old by hitting Beaney (bowling gentle spin at me ) back over his head three times. He immediately switched to his..erm..more lively pace. Don't think I saw the next three.

2 game team mate of mine at the end of the 1984 season

I can recall about 1978 he suddenly became a decent lower order batsman. Only had one shot (think a DSL version of Graham Dilley) but it was very effective.

Onions would still do a job for us

I worked with a lad called Ray Peel . IIRC he played for CLS back in the late 90s. He had a brother who played as well

he was mates with Melvin Betts

his sister used to be manager of the cinema in the metro centre

 

[Cornsay62]

I'm sure Ray Peel played for Sacriston and
Kimblesworth as well . His brother Stephen.
started off at Sacriston and then went to Durham City to form a class bowling attack alongside the legendary Brian Lander and fellow City stalwart Gary Hulme . Also played for the very strong County side
Was a year above at FMCS .Older brother Tom was a decent wicket keeper batsman who also started at Sacriston, then Wearmouth and Shotley Bridge. His son Philip also was talented and played for SB and the TSL league sides .. Tom's wife Pauline played a massive role in developing girls and ladies cricket.She played for the County ladies and might still be involved with the Durham Cricket Board

That’s right. I met Stephen when Ray got us freebies to watch Durham playing Leicestershire at at Darlington

was a red hot day and Leicestershire won the match

Eric gates was there as well

we had train tickets back to CLS but I was tanked up and with sun stroke fell asleep and found my self in Newcastle train station

to this day I have no idea of how I got back to CLS on the train and from there back to my house in washington

I miss old Ray as he was a great lover of the horses , gave plenty of tips and loved his annual trip to the Cheltenham festival

he moved in the early 2000s to Chester and we lost contact

ps

I used to take home made bread sarnies to work and Ray always requested my Mrs to put him a couple of slices in for his bait as well
