Darlington
Cricket Club, Feethams hosted the annual charity cricket match against
a crack Emmerdale team and the weather was fantastic.

Emmerdale
fielded a strong line-up which included Chris Chittell, who plays
nasty Eric Pollard in the soap.
Other
stars of the team were John Middleton, who plays village vicar Ashley
Thomas, Anthony Lewis (Mark Reynolds), Karl Davies (Robert Sugden),
and George Batty (ex-Yorkshire CCC).

The
ground was full for the day as the crowd cheered or occasionally
jeered their heroes on.
Despite
being given a torrid time by their opponents and losing a close
encounter, the Emmerdale stars managed to sign hundreds of autographs
and took time out to chat to the crowd.
All
proceeds from tickets went to BBC Children in Need and over £1500
was raised from the day.
