History

Earliest cricket in Durham

Cricket probably did not reach Durham until the 18th century. The earliest reference is a game at Raby Castle on or soon after 5 August 1751 between the Earl of Northumberland's XI and the Duke of Cleveland's XI. The game was commemorated by a ballad which starts: :::''Durham City has been dull so long,'' :::''No bustle at all to show;'' :::''But now the rage of all the throng'' :::''Is at cricketing to go.'' As it happens, there was a return game soon afterwards at Stanwick, near Richmond, and that is the earliest reference to cricket in

The club established an enviable record as a minor county: becoming the first minor county to beat a first-class county in the Gillette Cup (defeating Yorkshire in round one in 1973, and then in 1985 beating Derbyshire at the same stage); winning the Minor Counties Championship a record-equalling seven times between 1901 and 1984; and putting together a record of 65 matches without defeat between 1976 and 1982 that remains unbroken.

In the 2004 season they finished bottom of the two-division County Championship, sixth out of ten teams in the one-day
