The Durham Coast League disappears into history, for the same reasons as their County counterparts, when the final games are played this coming weekend. Murton are favourites to be the last championship winners.
They enjoyed a win by a margin of 107 runs against Hylton to retain a nine-point advantage over Dawdon. A half century for Lee Gilbert, and nine wickets shared by John Sample and Dave Hanson, destroyed the side who are in the bottom four. Dawdon matched their main rivals with a blistering century by Shoaib Akhtar against Easington .
