About the club
The club has been around since at least 1851, in that time we have played friendly matches, in the North Durham League, the Durham North Eastern League before finally settled in the North East Durham cricket league upon its formation in 1915. The Hazard cricket ground has formed the clubs home for at least 100 years, having moved from the adjoining field, a huge distance. Although the field isn't flat, in fact its well know for its bumps, but it is know for its superb wickets.
To find the ground: Leaving the A690 northbound at the junction marked Rainton Bridge turning left at the roundabout (first exit). At the second roundabout (under the bridge) turn right via the third exit follow this road until a unmade road appears on the left hand side (after a lay-by under the large tree). Travelling Southbound on the A690 turn left at the junction marked Rainton Bridge, turn left at the 'T' junction agin marked Rainton Bridge and look out for the track on your right hand side. This unmade road is named the Dunwells which leads up to our ground, be careful as the track is narrow and rough in places.There is ample parking at the ground and alongisde the track to the ground.
