One of Northumberland’s own ❤️

From his early cricket at Ashington Cricket Club and representing Northumberland, to becoming one of the fastest bowlers in world cricket and a two-time World Cup winner, Mark Wood has given cricket in our region so much to be proud of.

For young players growing up across Northumberland, Newcastle and North Tyneside, Mark’s journey is a brilliant reminder of where the game can take you — and the heights that can be reached from right here in the North East.

Congratulations on an incredible international career, Woody. We’re incredibly proud of you and everything you’ve achieved.
From everyone at Northumberland Cricket.

What a season👏

The 2026 season drew to a close last week but there’s been an immense amount to celebrate with league titles, promotions and memorable moments right across the club game.

In the North East Premier League, congratulations to South Northumberland, who were crowned Premier Division champions for a remarkable 16th NEPL title.

There was more success in the Northumberland Women’s Cricket League, with Tynedale CC winning the Premier Division and Warkworth CC taking the Division One title and securing promotion to the Premier Division.

In the Northumberland & Tyneside Cricket League, Morpeth were crowned Division One champions, and will be joined by Stocksfield and Alnmouth & Lesbury all making the step up to the North East Premier League for 2027.

Bedlington won Division Two and Benwell & Walbottle claimed the Division Three title, with Blagdon Park, Tillside and Seaton Burn also celebrating promotion.

And of course, the success doesn’t stop there. Clubs across the wider league pyramid have also celebrated promotions, strong finishes and important milestones this summer – congratulations to every team that has taken another step forward in 2026.

A huge thank you to every player, coach, volunteer, official, spectator, sponsor and partner who helped make the season happen. Behind every result are countless hours of work, commitment and support across our clubs.

The competitive season may be over, but the hard work towards 2027 is already underway – and we can’t wait to see what next season brings.

Clubs – what was your highlight of 2026? Share it with us in the comments.

Huge congratulations to the Newcastle Blayze Strikers, who represented Northumberland Cricket at the ECB Men’s National Tape Ball Competition last weekend.

One of 18 men’s teams competing at the national finals, the Strikers put together a fantastic run to reach the semi-finals – a brilliant achievement and a great representation of cricket in our region.

Tape ball and Street Cricket are an exciting part of how we’re growing the game across Newcastle, Northumberland and North Tyneside – creating more opportunities for people to pick up a bat and ball, play in different ways and find a route into cricket.

We’re looking forward to building on that momentum and creating even more opportunities to get involved.

Watch this space – there’s plenty more to come! 👀🏏
