Hello all,

I�ve just accepted a job offer up in South Shields so I�m going to be on the look out for a club up there!

I�m interested to know what the standard is like up that way if any of you play it. As I�m looking to move closer to Sunderland than Newcastle, I understand I�ll likely be playing in the Durham & NE league.

Cheers lads!

The standard in the north east is right up there, NEPL and pyramid system are in place so teams/clubs naturally find their level. If you don�t mind me asking what standard are you use to and maybe I can point you in the right direction and suggest which clubs maybe for you

I think realistically I�ll be playing Div 4/5/6.
Have had a look at Silksworth + Wearmouth online who both have 2�s in Div 6 - but obviously won�t know what they�re like until I actually get up there!

Biased as I used to play there years ago but Ryhope is a great place to play, top deck, rapid outfield, good place for a drink after.

Personally I would avoid Wearmouth or Silksworth, both not exactly great great grounds and less of a �proper club� feel.

Boldon CC next to the dog track is also a nice place to play.

Hi mate I moved up to Newcastle back late last year and found a nice club we have a team in div 4 and div 6 called Kirkley! Lovely ground with small boundaries haha! Feel free to get in touch

You�ve interested me with the talk of small boundaries you see 👀😂

Still got to do a security check and sort out contract details so could be a few weeks until I�m up there yet. If I�m able to work from home regularly I�ll hopefully move closer to Newcastle - if I do I�ll be in touch!
