What would you like to know? Uni or club wise? The uni is okay, not a fantastic standard, they play at a good ground with a cracking deck! Prepare to only play 4 or 5 matches though.

Club wise there's clubs for every standard within 10 mins of the uni. Right from ECB Prem which has arguably the best clubs in England with county players and international cricketers right through to village green stuff, bit more info on yourself will help me give you better info!

But too far south for Sunderland is the NYSD! Good standard though, some cracking decks in the NYSD!

Lots of clubs around there, we are pretty close! Have a look at the North East Premier League and the Durham Cricket Leagues for local clubs. We have got a couple of Durham Uni lads signed on for next year
