Down by the Riverside 2023

I must be keen, because I've already renewed for next year

the women's games for the new competition are added to the offer and given the number of very decent signings, I think I'll go to some of them. It'll be interesting to see how it compares to the men's stuff

Yes, looking forward to seeing the women's games.

An interesting comment from Ash Thorpe re comings and goings in the men's squad. He said there are various rumours around but wouldn't give details. So maybe I was wrong to take Campbell's comments to mean there wouldn't be any big departures...unless AT was referring to rumours of arrivals.

My interpretation was that no announcements would be made until the end of the season

Yes, mine too. Will be interesting.

[Durhamfootman]

I can't see Glover being around next year

[Durhamfootman]

The BBC squad list still has Jack Burnham on it, so he might make the cut either

Me neither.

Comeback!

[Durhamfootman]

We've made 3 signings for the new tier 1 women's squad. Bess Heath an England wkb has just signed. Lizzie Scott (?) and Hollie Armitage signed earlier this year. England bowlers Lauren Filer and Mady Villiers are expected to follow suit, seemingly

Mady Villiers has signed, but I haven't seen anything about Lauren Filer yet

[Durhamfootman]

50 over and 20 over tournaments seemingly. I'm guessing 7 of each at home. Should be interesting

[Durhamfootman]

Lauren Filer has signed a 3 year deal

[captaincolly]

Bushnell, Glover and Gibson have all been released. Probably not a surprise buy still disappointing for them. A couple of years ago I thought Bushnell looked handy.

[Durhamfootman]

yes, just spotted that

I'm a bit surprised there weren't more, tbh. Glover was a no brainer

Bushy and Gibson were maybe a little unlucky, but equally MacAlindon and Robinson2 have perhaps been lucky

I wonder if Jack Burnham has gone yet

I'll check the BBC squad list!

[Durhamfootman]

more signings for the new women's side. There isn't a squad list on the club site, so I've gone back through the announcements and come up with the following

Dani Hazel (head coach)

Hollie Armitage (capt) (bat)
Emily Windsor (bat)
Leah Dobson (bat)
Bess Heath (wk)
Phoebe Turner (seam AR)
Mady Villiers (spin AR)
Emma Marlow (spin AR)
Katherine Fraser (spin)
Katie Levick (spin)
Lauren Filer (seam)
Lizzie Scott (seam)

So there's a team there, at least, although only Armitage is a recognised top order bat. I have no idea if any of the existing Durham team will still be around

[Durhamfootman]

14 signings for the Tier 1 squad, according to the Cricketer

plus Kyle Coetzer and Nathan Rimmington will be Dani Hazell's batting and bowling coaches
