Ever since the transition to 40-over cricket in the League’s blue riband cup competition the late May Bank Holiday Kerridge programme has been eagerly anticipated and has produced some outstanding contests.

And this legacy was richly enhanced on Monday, not least at Kingsway where Bishop Auckland were taking on Darlington. The in-form Scott Steel (108 from 100 balls) set the Quakers on course for an imposing total of 254-7 and when Bishops crumbled to 134-7 in the 31st over the game looked well and truly up for the home team.

But Dan Legge and Jake Dickinson had other ideas. Throwing caution to the wind they smashed 101 runs in just 7.1 overs to record one of the most sensational cup wins in the Club’s history. For the record Legge cracked an undefeated 62 from 37 balls, including 6 maximums, whilst Dickinson launched an even more astonishing assault, his 69 not out accrued from just 20 balls and including 5 fours and 7 sixes. A shell-shocked Darlington were eliminated by 3 wickets.
