The teams for this week are coming in now and we are adding them to our stats database.

The selection for the First Team is now online here .

This post will be updated as more teams are added.

Felling Cricket Club is delighted to announce that we will be hosting a bank holiday fun day on Sunday the 3 ^rd of June; the day of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

Over the course of the day, there will be a senior 6-a-side cricket competition, featuring a number of top teams from around the North East. In addition to the great cricket on show, we plan to make the day as fun and action packed as possible with BBQ’s, music and a Bouncy Castle (juniors only); coupled with a live band to entertain us well into the night.

The day’s main event will be the “Felling CC Balloon Race”; which will see us release hundreds of multicoloured balloons into the air shortly before the live 6-a-side final takes place.

Good luck from everyone at the Mighty Tree to Chris Taylor our cup winning skipper of last season who has left to begin his tour to Afghanistan.

Chris joined Felling from Gateshead Fell some five years ago and quickly became a favourite not just for his batting and wicket keeping but for his attitude to the game.

A model professional with a will to win he instilled a sense of pride into the first team after taking on the role of captain which culminated in the tree’s most successful season for many years.

Winning the DSL League Cup, finalists in the Armbrister Trophy and runners up in the Durham Senior League in 2010 under his command before he had to leave to take up army duties in Germany.

He will be a big miss on the field and around the ground and we look forward to seeing Chris gracing High Heworth Lane again next season.

Safe trip mate and best wishes from all at the tree, keep us posted on your progress.
