Gary Firby (Above) The Felling Ashes The Felling Ashes inaugral year was 2003. Steve decided to to invite various stars from the world of boxing and football to play in a round robin charity cricket game. Aswell as the team of stars Felling Football Club,Duke Of Cumberland Football Club and Felling Cricket Club all submit teams to play in this charity event which primarilly raises money for Steves favourite charity the Bubble Appeal. Over the years donations have also been made to The Grace House Appeal and Gateshead Football Club. In the first year Dukes Mark Walker 'borrowed' the umpires coat and it was Steves suggestion that it be burnt to ashes and stored in an urn. After scouring ebay for a suitable urn similar to the one used in the famous 'ashes' Steve found one, and the kind people at 'JustSport' sponsored the plinth and the 'Felling Ashes' were well and truly born. The Felling Ashes take place at Felling Cricket Club, High Heworth Lanes every May. Previous
