Coundon Cricket Club

Today's DNECL Div 4 game
Coundon II v Kimblesworth II is cancelled - Kimblesworth have conceded as they are unable to field a team.

If you are not having a BBQ or watching Boro in the Championship playoff final (or both !!) why not go cheer our 1st team on at Ryhope CC (postcode SR2 0AB)

Have a great Bank Holiday whatever you do....

Sadly tonight's midweek team league match, Coundon III v Burnhope III, is off due to the weather.
