It’s coming.
Not too late to join if you fancy a game and some good crack to go with it. Always looking for players.
Saturday side in D3 NYSD, Sunday programme of friendlies being arranged and u15/17 teams too.

Congratulations to @CcNorthallerton who, with a 15th win in 21 games - by 4 wickets at Welfare Park today - have secured a well-deserved Division 3 title.

@NYSDCricket Proper ledge. Played hard to win, played fairly, didn’t feel the need to abuse the oppo, would have you if you wandered out and stayed with his club for OVER SIXTY YEARS, alongside his England over 60s/70s stuff.
There aren’t many like Tom, especially these days 👏👏👏

Overnight thunderstorms have left the east coast a touch wet!

As a result, today’s home fixture against @richmondshirecc will not be going ahead, Welfare Park is waterlogged.

[Blackhall CC @BlackhallCC]

The season starts with a win at @BishopCricket
A 3-fer for Ethan Peacock and 77* from skipper Paul Moss saw us chase down the hosts 138 all out with 8 wickets in hand.
Howay the ‘Hall.

Bloody cold, but the 2024 cricket season is underway.
The midweek side lost against @east_raintoncc tonight in a game that went to the last over , but the visitors had plenty of wickets in hand.
But we’re underway!

@NYSDCricket Norman was Mr Great Ayton, known throughout the League.

Clubs need such dedicated volunteers and it is becoming all too rare.

RIP Norman, cricket is the worse without you.

New players welcome, turn up, and the lads will make sure you’re involved.
Howay the ‘Hall!

[Blackhall CC @BlackhallCC]

The Welfare looking in decent nick for the end of Feb.

Always welcome to new players if you fancy a change of scenery.

[Blackhall CC @BlackhallCC]

Dragged out of retirement at 57 years of age in a game the team must win to stand any chance of @NYSDCricket Div 2 survival (and still might go down)
There’s a reason he’s in the Hall of Fame

The first of (hopefully many) Dave White Memorial Trophy games between Blackhall and @CastleEdenCC today at Welfare Park resulted in a victory for the visitors - a highly enjoyable day all round.
Moments of quality, moments of comedy - there’ll be aching bones in the morning.

[Blackhall CC @BlackhallCC]

Tough day at @MiddlesbroughCC who made 233 all out.
We were all out for 122 in just 22 overs
#CrashBangWallop

[Blackhall CC @BlackhallCC]

Drawn game, but it’s the first game we haven’t lost since 2021 (other than the rained off game in April), so little victories and all that.
Catching could do with some practice, but still …
Well done lads

[Blackhall CC @BlackhallCC]

We finish on 265/9 from 50 overs.
Bloody long time since we got that many.

[Blackhall CC @BlackhallCC]

A glut of new signings this week and we’re able to go at home to @CcNorthallerton today.
Good luck lads. Enjoy it.

[Blackhall CC @BlackhallCC]

Sadly, a combination of play off football, injury and general apathy left us with a mere 4 players available, so we have had to concede tomorrows game at @BedaleCC

#OnTheBrink

Apologies to the Bedale players for spoiling your Saturday.

[Blackhall CC @BlackhallCC]

Well beaten at @ClubMaltby today
84 all out (Moss 29, Stevenson 3-24, S Irvine 3-26)

Maltby 86/2 (S Irvine 38, C Irvine 25*)

But at least the sun was out! - for a bit anyhow.
