Dave Waters
Appears to constantly roam the streets of Ponteland with his cricket bag and miraculously turned up straight off a plane from Spain for a game we only had 10 for expecting to be playing. Ensured his permanent selection for the side by becoming 2012 captain

Faizal Padikaran
'Faiz' had been with us for a year before he told us we'd spelt his name wrong. Always plays with a smile on his face and has a habit of making batsman who have batted hours for 4 runs look stupid by hitting a boundary in his first 3 balls
|
| |
|
|
Iftikhar Fazal
'Ifty' joined the Club in June 2011, we wait to see if his orange go faster striped boots have the desired effect !

Jack Schofield
Occasional appearances, more regularly seen in the 3XI and 2XI. Current holder of the best Eagles bowling figures
|
| |
|
|
James Eagle Ealey
1XI Captain, occasionally turns out for practice normally without getting any. The origins of the Eagles come from the local media's inability to spell his name incorrectly although this probably had more to do with Stuart Taylor ringing in the results.
|
| |
|
|
James Ritzema
The Eagles have long hoped to recruit 'Ritzy Jnr' to its ranks since its inception. An SOS for the final game of the 2011 season finally got him into action. Having found out we'll let him bowl it is now hoped to see more of him in 2012....

Stuart Taylor

If you want a quiet evening don't let the 'Stamfordham mouth' keep and despatch him to long-off. A rapidly improving cricketer who gave up cricket indefinitely due to having 'other matters to resolve' but was back for the next possible game 3 days later!
