Durham County has been a member of both the Midlands Seniors League together with Yorkshire, Leicestershire, Lancashire, Warwickshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire for six seasons and has been very successful winning the Trophy 4 times and finishing runner-up once.
In 1998 Dave Morgan,Durham County IBA Secretary, together with past Presidents, Ben Crosby and Neil Pratt were instrumental in setting up the Northern Counties Seniors League which originally comprised of five counties, Durham, Cumbria, Northumberland, Lancashire and Yorkshire.
During the 12 years of its existence Durham have won the competition nine times and finished runners-up on the other three occasions. This is a proud record. The winners receive the Neil Pratt and Ben Crosby Trophy donated by two past Presidents of the Association. Cumbria and Northumberland have since withdrawn from the Northern Counties League which leaves Yorkshire, Lancashire and Durham taking part.
Durham Seniors squad members are set out in the table below. Fixtures for the Midlands Counties League and the Northern Counties League will be set out below when available.
