Cricket
"It is that time of year again when the football posts come down and cricket squares are cut across parks and village greens. From a personal perspective, British summer is built around the sound of leather (cricket ball) whacking against willow (cricket bat)".
Consett Cricket Club are one of the many teams we have in our area. They have two senior teams playing in the Northumberland and Tyneside Cricket League as well as having a Sunday team in the Hetton Lyons Sunday Cricket League. They also have Under 9, Under 11 and Under 13 sides at present, attract 60+ children to the annual ECB All Stars programme and have 20 girls signed to the ECB Dynamos course.
The club is always happy to welcome new members to the club of any ability at both senior and junior levels.
