These are the superstars that represent the First XI
The First team
1.Chris Foster (Fozzie) The Captain
Fozzie is the teams all rounder and skipper. A middle order right handed batsman and determined run getter. Foz also is able to offer offbreaks or medium paced seasmers to the attack. He is also an agile and athletic fielder with a safe pair of hands.
2.James Dobson (wicket keeper).
Dobbo is 14 and last year was voted player of the year for the firsts. His runs are vital to the side and he can bat anywhere in the top 5. A brilliant wicket keeper who has a secret wish to be a star bowler! Captains Durham Under 14s and also plays for Darlington CC
3.Stan Clitheroe
Another talented 14 year old. Stan has added a couple of yards of pace over the winter and is certainly nippy off the wicket. Always gives 100% in all aspects of the game and is passionate about his side.
4.Jeff Rogerson
The experienced pro of the side. Jeff has played for many years and despite injuries during the last season is still a classy batsman capable of the big scores. His experience is vital to the sides progress.
5.David Earle
David is another youngster (15) and is a quick bowler and improving batsman. Dave has also added to his pace over the winter and this season he will hurry quite a few opposition batsmen.
6.Chris Bowes
Bowesy is an experienced cricketer, a hard hitting middle order batsman and inswing bowler. Chris played in his early days for Darlington and is capable of changing agame on his own.
7. Alan Curry
The run machine of the side last season, Big Al scores runs for fun at number 5. His slow left arm spin is also a vital asset to the side
8. Dan Baldwin
Another 15 year old, dan is a talented orthodox left arm spinner who also has a chinaman up his sleeve! Dan has worked hard to improve his batting and should reep the rewards with plenty of runs in 2007.

veteran pace bowler who never gives much away and will always get you that vital wicket. May find himself helping both sides over the season.
11. Paul Braithwaite
Brassy was the pro fielder for parts of last season.

13 Dave Collinge
Missed most of last season but is hoping to get back into it this season.
