🍹🏏 Cocktails & Cricket 2026 🏏🍹

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our Cocktails & Cricket evening! 🌟

Whether you were picking up a bat for the very first time or returning for another summer of softball, we hope you had as much fun as we did. From questionable batting techniques and hilarious forfeits to plenty of laughs, cocktails and great company, it was everything we hoped for! 🍓🍸😂

Thank you to everyone who joined in, embraced the silly challenges, cheered each other on and helped make the evening such a success. Nights like these really highlighted that cricket is for everyone—fun, friendly and full of brilliant people!!

New faces are always welcome! 🩷🏏

The Ravens put in a fantastic team performance against Corbridge, showing great determination and teamwork throughout. Claire and Katie gave us a solid start with the bat before Jodie anchored the middle order, while Kim and Ruth finished the innings strongly with some excellent running between the wickets.
With the ball, Ruth set the tone with an accurate opening spell before Jane stole the show. She claimed a superb four-wicket haul, supported by outstanding catches from Liv, Jules and Katie, as well as taking a catch herself. Although Corbridge reached the target in the 13th over, the Ravens can be incredibly proud of a spirited performance full of energy, commitment and memorable moments.
🌟Jane was a deserved Raven of the Match, but there were plenty of ch*****ne moments across the team.

We would also like to take a moment to wish honorary raven Chloe a safe trip back to Canada- for someone who didn’t know what cricket was until last week, you’ve been a fabulous edition to our team and thrown yourself right in! ❤️
We hope we get the chance to see you again for some cricket next year 🤩👏

Busy week for our senior teams & some wins in the bag 🙌

1st XI:
Back to back wins for our first XI as we faced Whickham at home this Saturday! Bowling first, Riding mill took early wickets, and despite an impressive performance from their young E.Morris (68), they eventually were all out for 99. Michael Collins shone with the ball taking 6/48 off 11 overs, neatly supported by Andy Watson 3/7 off 2.3 overs. Some early wickets when batting made the target look larger than it was, until Nick Rodger came in for an unbeaten 45 to finish the match. Thanks to the Whickham lads for a good game and great to see so many talented youngsters coming through their ranks!🤩

2nd XI:
After a close loss last week, the 2nd team fought back for a well earned close win against Stamfordham 2nd XI. Bowling first too, young Joah had a great spell with the ball taking 3 wickets for just 30 runs off his 9 overs, with the help of opener Tim Willis’ early wickets and economical spell, Stamfordham were all out for 141. Skipper Jonny played a strong innings for 53, but as wickets fell the game got closer, when vice Becca came in with Sam at the crease and 24 needed off the final few overs, they managed to push it over the line🙌

Robins (Women’s Softball):
The Robins came up against a strong opposition, falling short in runs but had a fabulous time with some top performances! Pair Ruth and Laura had some rapid running between the wickets, putting on 20 for their pair and Jane started with the ball, bowling 2 wickets for just 1 run!! Kim was Robin of the match, smashing some 4’s and taking a great catch. Thankyou to Benwell and Walbottle for a lovely game as always 😍

Friendly XI:
Our Friendly XI had the pleasure of a reignited fixture with old friends as we took the short journey to Medomsley CC. Batting first, Riding Mill put on 129/7 from their overs, with Andy and youngster Jasper building a good lower order partnership. Medomsley had a strong opening pair of 49 before it was broken by young Joah. Katie took their middle order before the youngsters finished it in a closely matched game. Thanks Medomsley for hosting us and hopefully see more of you in the future!!
