3D Durham Coast League
Champions Murton show no signs of losing appetite for winning
In the 3D Sports Durham
Coast League, champions Murton
wasted no time in showing
they again have the appetite for
success with an impressive
opening day win over
Silksworth.
Opener, Tom Raine, with a top
score of 43, made sure they
reached a competitive total despite
excellent bowling from
Mark Forster (6-75) and Phil Middlemass
(4-25). Then Joe Dodd (6-
24) ripped through Silksworth's
batting to make sure of a comfortable
50-run success.
Last season's runners-up, Castle
Eden, started by celebrating
with the first century maker,
John Spellman junior, but were
denied a win by the stubborn response
of Bill Quay who fought
well for draw points. Spellman's
classy 118 saw his side reach 252-
7.
Another century came from
Easington's David Tarn against
Boldon CA but he surprisingly
finished on the losing side. His
unbeaten 106 came out of 176
after Carl Purvis (4-40) made it
difficult for his team-mates.
Boldon's reply sparkled with
Gary Critchley (70 not out) and
Jason Jones (52 not out) taking
the team to victory by seven
wickets.
