From memory Simonside SC as they were know played in the Durham Alliance league. I was in the MC as press officer . They did quite well but were one of the few teams that left the league Due to one Man who will be known to all that competed in the Durham alliance. Simonside SC became Harton & Westoe for a short time , they played in the Northern Alliance where if my memory serves me right they eventually played in the wearside league . Not sure if they then joined forces with Boldon . Simas old chairman Bob who sadly passed away a not so long ago was an absolute Diamond of a bloke along with his side kick. Anyway Ryton reserves were definitely on the wrong end of a 36 goal hammering by Simonside . They folded a couple of weeks later. Pretty sure this Simonside was different, this lot played at Bents Park. Harton and Westoe did play in the Wearside League, and the ground is now used by South Shields ladies, I think.

Yeah the simonside that got battered were nowt to do with the old simonside. Old simonside used Harton welfare which is as you say now used by South shields ladies. Infact Harton Welfare got took over by South Shields about four year ago and its now there training base aswell. Shame like because that meant the end for whiteleas cricket club.

Never nice to see a double figure score, never mind a one of that magnitude, it’s of no benefit to either team, other than those hoping to get themselves on the top scorers list at the end of the season. Clearly something was properly amiss with Ovingham, did they turn up short, or have players sent off, or injured with no subs etc?
