The 1st XI will also compete in the Banks Salver, Banks Bowl and T20 1st XI competitions while the 2nd XI will compete in the Banks Cup, Banks Shield and T20 2nd XI competitions The 2nd XI signed off with a big 10 wicket win at Tudhoe to also finish runners up, a really commendable performance by Stephen Robinson's young side. Before the start of the season it was the aim to include as many young players in the 2nd XI and the decision has paid off, with several improving their skills. The 3rd XI successfully finished second in the Hetton Lyons Sunday League as a result of the final day win against Kimblesworth. All four junior teams did well, a real credit to the Club.
