As we head into our 50th summer as a club; our badge has had a little spruce up…

We have a full set of Sunday fixtures including a Genetics Day on 6th June!

We now await the midweek fixtures, a first year back in the top division.

New players welcome 🏏

As always, favourite tea of the year @UlghamVillageCC 👏

Little rain break but we’ll chase a revised target of whatever Ulgham were after 30 overs

Division 2 champions in our 49th summer as a club 👏

[Genetics Cricket Club @Genetics_CC]

A quick game is a good game!

A minefield of a pitch up at @MedomsleyCC and only 9 available following a couple of late drop outs meant we were all out for 39

Our opponents knocked that off (40-2) in 5.3 overs, congratulations to NE United on their promotion

[Genetics Cricket Club @Genetics_CC]

We sealed the Division two of the North East Midweek Cricket League last night with a 35 run win over NE4.

Thanks to all the players this season, after a few years of turning out with 8 & 9, we’ve had a regular 11 each week; sometimes 12!

Our 50th summer as a club coming up!

[Genetics Cricket Club @Genetics_CC]

A 9 wicket win over NE4 for the midweek team last night.

A great night for the bowlers, Joe Ingram picking up 3.

Just want to add, NE4 are a credit to the cricket scene; proper friendly lads, good crack, no malice - wish there were more teams like this!

Great Sunday friendly yesterday with @whitleybaycc

Thank you very much for hosting us, see you again soon 🤝

[Genetics Cricket Club @Genetics_CC]

A couple of results in the last 7 days…

Firstly, we were resoundingly beaten by Fenham Falcons last Thursday, the opposition will make a top division side if they sort their admin side!

Then on Monday we beat Blue Flames in another tight affair.

Another tight game last night…

@civilservicecc 121 AO (14)

@geneticscc 122-5 (13.2 overs)

[Genetics Cricket Club @Genetics_CC]

A great game tonight against a talented NE United team.

Both Ne United openers reached 50 as they were 110-0 off 10 overs, a late fightback saw them finish 146-5 (14)

We wrapped up the win (148-2) with the very last ball of our innings.

[Genetics Cricket Club @Genetics_CC]

The Sunday’s travel up to the picturesque ground of @rockcc today.

2pm start and always a brilliant tea 🤝

[Genetics Cricket Club @Genetics_CC]

A quick start last night meant we posted a score that our 9 1/2 men could defend.

Some great bowling early doors from the legend that is Jonty Tarbuck meant Whitley had an uphill task despite a tidy 49 from their opener.

We finished 155-4 (14)

[Genetics Cricket Club @Genetics_CC]

The Midweek side make it 2/2 with a 9 wicket win at @CramlingtonCC

Great little facility; big thanks to Cramlington for doing the play cricket and proving a tuck shop 👏

Runs for Ingram & Appleby 💪

[Genetics Cricket Club @Genetics_CC]

Today’s Sunday Friendly with St George’s Rovers is off as we are unable to field a team.

The midweek team travel to @CramlingtonCC on Wednesday night this week.

[Genetics Cricket Club @Genetics_CC]

A lovely evening for it last night as our midweek team were back in action.

Genetics CC 104-0

Beat

West End CC 103-8 (12 overs)

West End recovered from 12-6 at one point to make a game of it.
