their final away game of the season, which seems to be almost over in the blink of an eye. ©️JH.

3 wickets and Kilner 2 to all but end the game as a contest. Pallas ended with brilliant figures of 3/5 off his 4 overs as Marsden eventually reached 103/8 at the close. A 29 run win 👏🏏🦁. The lads travel to South Hetton in a weeks’ time for . .

the opposition bowling to reach 76 not out off 62 balls as Boldon posted a very respectable 132/3. Backed by an impressive away following, the Marsden response got off to the worst possible start as they stumbled to 9/5 with Ollie Pallas taking . .

well out of the reach of Marsden in circumspect fashion. Openers Stephen Lamb and John Taylor put on 35 before Lamb fell for 22 and at 83/3 at the end of the 16th over, the Boldon innings was in danger of petering out. Taylor had other ideas though, as he set about . .

@BoldonCC Midweek team took on @MarsdenCC as glorious sunshine bathed the CC on Thursday night, with Hunter’s team looking to return to winning ways after a heavy defeat at Littletown on Monday. Despite losing the toss & being inserted, Boldon set about establishing a target.

Which will take place towards the end of the year. They'll face either Derby or Green Baize As. For now, great game, and next action is in a couple of week's time on the 20th. 🎱🏏🦁.

their finishing prowess, as they took the first 2 frames to settle the match. Kirkbride rightly and aptly rounding off a good night for him personally, with a clean sweep of 3 frames. Nice work skipper! 💪. Boldon ran out 6-3 winners and booked their place in the final . .

Aaron Kirkbride, and a truly stirling job he did as well!. With things very tight at the end of the first singles round, Boldon held a slender 1 frame lead. With the two doubles frames being shared, it went into the deciding singles round, and it was they that the Lions showed . .

@BoldonCC pool A team were, last night, in cup semi final action against Murray’s B. Venue was Green Baize. Format, first to 6. With regular skipper Ian Robson, unavoidably detained somewhere else with a glass of something cool in his hand, the armband was donned by .

Well done team! Onwards and upwards to the semi-final. More news on that soon. 🏏🦁👏.

Joseph Forster, who completed a pretty decent evening's work, with 3 for 24 (including the wicket of the potentially dangerous Gale) . AND . opening bowler, Quinton Boatswain, whose 4 over stint took a wicket and went for a paltry 5 runs👏.

Thereafter, the only meaningful resistance came in the shape of Steven Gale (10) and Niall Cowell (19), as Seaham were hustled out for just 65, some 35 runs adrift of their objective. Other than de Zoysa (who ended up with 3 for just 7 runs), other bowling accolades go to . .

deployed early by skipper Ellison, and to almost immediate effect. The Sri Lankan striking at the very heart of the Seaham top order. With 3 wickets in just 5 balls, he turned the game on it's head, removing the very dangerous trio of Shurben, Pattison (Snr) and Burnham. Useful!.

but not spectacular 100-9. A brace each for Allan and Pattison and a very creditable 3-9 from his 4 over allocation. A simple equation for the visitors, 5 an over. But having got off to a flyer with 16 coming from the first 2 overs, the bowling skills of de Zoysa were . .

trapped the normally free-scoring de Zoysa for just 7 and following a mini revival, Joseph Forster for 24. Score 48-2. Following that, the home side sort of bumbled along [in the face of some pretty tight bowling] at just over 4s and ended on a respectable . .

Chris Ellison decided to bat. That decision brought about a phenomenon about as rare as hen's teeth or the aurora borialis. A Lohan de Zoysa batting failure. Yep, you heard it here folks! The Harbour's Regan Pattison duly despatched both Boldon's openers as he . .

@BoldonCC 1st XI's 100% cup record steamrollered on last night as they comprehensively despatched high-flying premier league division 1 opponents @HarbourSeaham , at the Sunderland Road Ground tonight, in the quarter final of the Hedworth Williamson Cup. Winning the toss .
