This summer’s Darlington and District League fixtures were released last weekend and the season begins on Saturday, April 22.
This year, four teams from the dale will compete in the A Division, with promoted Middleton-in-Teesdale joining Raby Castle, Barningham and Lands, who just survived relegation last time round.
Middleton begin with a home match against Richmondshire IV, while Barningham are also at home against Nunthorpe, the runaway winners of the B Division last year.
Having enjoyed successive promotions since joining the league, it will be interesting to see how Nunthorpe’s attacking brand of cricket fares in the A division.
Lands head to East Cowton to begin their 2017 campaign.
In the B division, Barningham II visit Spennymoor, while Raby Castle II head to Haughton for the reverse fixture. Cliffe CC, at Piercebridge, kick off with a home tie against Brompton-on-Swale, who were relegated last season.
In the C division, Etherley CC host Eryholme CC in the season opener.
The draws for the opening rounds of league cups have also been made.
In the A division, Lands will visit Aldbrough St John, while Barningham head to Nunthorpe in the 20-over competition.
Raby and Middleton have been handed byes through to the quarter finals.
In the B division cup, Raby Castle have been drawn away to Barton, while in the C division, Etherley entertain Aldbrough St John II.
