As a post, politician nowadays end up with rambling sentences which they have no idea how they are going to get out of. The remarks followed a riot trial in Bristol suggesting that some black people were unsuitable to sit on jurys led to an apology and his retirement. But his prejudices shouldn t detract from someone whose life was devoted to justice. In 1992, Tyne Tees Television, based here in the North East of England, ran a series of 6 documentaries about Durham County Cricket Clubs new status as a First Class County. A small community yet is boasts two teams, Burnopfield itself and the Lintz Cricket Club.
Today is the local derby and the rivalry goes back a long way.
Tiny Burnopfield produced two England test players, Jim McConnen and the legendary Colin Milburn. Colin s mother was a tea lady here for forty years. Throughout the interviews with our Chairman and Colin s mother, shots were shown of the Lintz Cricket Club with players from both sides. In time we hope to have some shots on this page.
