Ushaw Moor suffering from the elements – Cricket From Darlington and Stockton Times
Teams have now passed the half way point in their ‘regular’ season, but for several it seems like they haven’t even started.
Nowhere has the terrible weather been felt more acutely than at Ushaw Moor.
Club spokesman Micky Hayton explained: “We have managed to play just three games of any kind on our ground so far, that includes firsts, seconds and juniors.
“We are reliant on the council for ground maintenance and we fully understand the financial constraints they currently have.
“That is why we are trying to look at ways we can help with their permission, in particular we would like to put in some new drainage at the end of the season.
“Nine times out of ten the square’s fine, but we have a problem in certain parts of the outfield where the water gathers.”
The Moor became so desperate to play their home games a few weeks ago that they approached the league executive with a unique initiative – to play their home games at Maiden Castle in Durham while their own ground dried out.
After agreement was given the weather won that one as well and it was called off at ten in the morning.
With the forecast for this weekend not offering any solace to harassed clubs the Moor are desperate to get a home game in today against Tudhoe, but one thing the enforced lay-offs have done is clear up a few injury niggles.
“We’ve only played three league games but John Southeran managed to injure his ankle in one of those,” chuckled Hayton. “But the rest has done him good and he’s fit again, and Craig Usher is over his back problem.” The pair line up against a Tudhoe team that includes the returning Ian Grainger.

Matt Baker visits his Former Durham Gymanastics Club – Ushaw Moor
FORMER British junior gymnast Matt Baker paid a visit to his old stomping ground during a visit to the North East.
The BBC TV The One Show and former Blue Peter presenter, 34, was a star performer with The Deerness Gymnastic Academy 20 years ago, until he had to give up the sport after being diagnosed with anaemia.
Matt – who was born in Easington, County Durham, before his family moved to a farm west of Durham – compensated for his loss to gymnastics by taking up sheepdog trials and pole vaulting.
Yesterday he called in to watch a display by the Deerness Gymnasts at Ushaw Moor, near Durham, a day after he carried the Olympic Torch on to the city’s Racecourse ground.
Deerness Gymnastic Academy is run by volunteers who took over the sports centre in Ushaw Moor last year after Durham County Council threatened to close it due to cost cutting.
It has become one of the top clubs in acrobatics and tumbling over the past 20 years, having trained over 60 international gymnasts, winning more than 50 world and European medals, with five world and four European champions in its roll of honour.

Ushaw Moor Community Garden | Updated INFO from Ushaw Moor Action Group
The development was made possible after land was released by Durham County Council and The Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle and with grant funding from The Big Lottery Community Spaces fund, The County Durham Environmental Trust (CDENT) and Durham County Councillor John Wilkinson’s Neighbourhood Budget. The project was managed by Groundwork North East, designed by Guy Rowlinson Landscape Architecture and developed by Trevor Atkinson Landscapes.
Our aim is to develop a totally inclusive facility and we are delighted to support the Durham Agency Against Crime HAGGRID Project, which is a positive youth diversion programme based around horticulture and agriculture for young people – as well as their aims to build stronger communities through intergenerational activities.
Launch Event 9th June
The Mayor and Lady Mayoress officially open the garden. Many thanks to those who turned out for the activities and a special thanks to the Bearpark and Esh Colliery Band.

The Flame in the North East – North East for 2012 Games
The Torch arrives in the region on Thursday 14 June 2012 and leaves the region on Monday 18 June 2012. During this time it will pass through 62 villages, towns and cities in the North East.
Below are maps of all the places the Torch is going through in the North East: click on the place name to see a map of the route and times of the Torch: timings shown are approximate. The maps show each stretch of the route when the Torch Relay is in ‘Torchbearer’ mode, and run in the order that the Torch route takes, for example from Alnwick it travels to Hipsburn and then Warkworth.
‘Torchbearer’ mode means when the flame is carried by a nominated person: at other times the Torch will be in ‘convoy’ mode, when it is being driven through less-populated areas or on main roads. We hope lots of people will come and cheer on the Flame as well as the Torchbearers – people without whom our communities would be poorer places to live. A full list and interactive map can also be found on the London 2012 website.
