Chester-le-Street’s total of 298-5 in 2005 at Ropery Lane is a record score against The Hill in any cricket. They have beaten The Hill more times than any other team in The NEPL – six. The Hill’s 2002 Championship was clinched at Ropery Lane against the then Champions. ID Hunter’s 8-29 in 2004 was the best bowling figures against The Hill in The NEPL before RP Waite’s 8-28 for Stockton in 2006. PR Cummins’ 102 was his debut innings for The Hill. QJ Hughes’ 136* in 2005 is the highest by an opposition player on his home ground against The Hill in The NEPL. PJ Nicholson and G Race added 122 for the seventh wicket at Denton Bank in 2007 and that partnership is a club record in all cricket.

Leading Wicket-takers: NC Phillips 12 (2004-7)Notes on the above fixture:
MJ North’s 163* in 2000 is the record individual score against The Hill in all cricket.
MJ North and A Dawe added 209* for the third wicket at Denton Bank in 2000 – a record for that wicket against The Hill in any cricket and the highest stand for any wicket in the NEPL against The Hill. M Bekker and D Orridge also hold a partnership record against The Hill. They made 146 for the sixth wicket at Eastwood Gardens in 2006 - a record for that wicket. The 270-0 amassed by PJ Nicholson and SJ Birtwisle is the record partnership for any wicket in The Hill’s history. SJ Birtwisle has made two of his four NEPL hundreds at Eastwood Gardens and became the first Hill player to carry his bat in The NEPL there on 9th September 2006. Victory by seven wickets on 13th May 2000 at Eastwood Gardens was the first NEPL win for The Hill in our second match. Yasir Ali's 5-63 in 2006 was his Best Bowling figures in his last match for The Hill.
WRS Gidman claimed 8-49 in a losing cause at Denton Bank in 2007, this haul is the best by an opposition bowler at The Hill in The NEPL.

Notes on the above fixture:
Hetton Lyons gained promotion via The Durham Senior League. Their success in that league saw them replace Philadelphia for the 2006 season and thus become the thirteenth team in NEPL history. The first match between Hetton Lyons and The Hill (27 May 2006) was Hetton Lyons’s first home match in The NEPL, as ground development had prevented any home fixture until then. Hetton Lyons were relegated after one season in The NEPL.

Leading Wicket-takers: J Bailey 13 (2000-7)Notes on the above fixture:
Newcastle were the first side to visit Denton Bank in The NEPL on Saturday 20th May 2000. They are also one of three sides yet to win there, alongside Durham CA and Tynemouth. Taufeeq Umar’s 149 was his debut innings for The Hill and included a hundred before lunch. The 307 total in that match in 2005 is The Hill’s highest total in NEPL cricket and equalled the record in any cricket made against Alnwick in 1997.
MAP Dale made his maiden hundred for The Hill in his first innings against Newcastle from 76 balls at Denton Bank in 2006. SJ Birtwisle's 108 in 2007 was his first NEPL hundred at Denton Bank. AJ Maiden made 110* in 2007 on his first visit to Jesmond as a Hill player. MP Wright recorded the fastest NEPL fifty for The Hill at Jesmond in 2007. He reached his 50 from 28 balls, including seven sixes and two fours.

No Hill NEPL fixture has been so badly disrupted by the weather. Nearly a quarter of the scheduled matches have been abandoned without a ball bowled. Norton have had less chance than others to win at Denton Bank and had to wait to 2006 to achieve it by six runs which was the same winning margin for The Hill at Station Road that same season. SJ Birtwisle made 107 out of a total of 199 in 2006.

Shahid Nazir claimed the only Hill NEPL Hat trick in the 2004 fixture at Bunker Hill. Both Hill totals at Denton Bank were chasing targets set. With The Durham Cricket Academy and Hetton Lyons they are the only team to have played in The NEPL to not have beaten The Hill.

Leading Wicket-taker: LJ Crozier 18 (2004-7)Notes on the above fixture:
Roseworth Terrace is the only club ground on which The Hill have yet to win in The NEPL. South North have the most victories at Denton Bank with four. Their three back to back win sequence began in 2002 with our only defeat in the Championship season. LJ Crozier (by no means the only player to appear for both clubs in the fixture) has had notable success for both clubs. In the matches between the clubs his record is remarkable being the leading wicket-taker for The Hill and leading wicket-taker for South North with 18 for both clubs. JA Graham and CJ Hewison’s 509 runs are a record for any player against The Hill in The NEPL.

Leading Wicket-taker: RP Waite 26 (2000-7)Notes on the above fixture:
Stockton were our first opponents in The NEPL on 6th May 2000 at Grangefield Road. The fixture at The Hill produced a positive result in every match until 2006. Stockton’s 61 in 2002 is their lowest total against any opposition in NEPL history. On the other side their 280-5 in 2005 is the highest score made by any visiting side to Denton Bank in any cricket, however The Hill’s reply 283-2 is the highest successful run chase ever on the ground. RP Waite holds the record for the most wickets against The Hill in The NEPL with 26 & his return of 8-28 at Grangefield Road in 2006 is the best against The Hill in The NEPL. Mohamad Farrukh's 101* was his only hundred for The Hill and DNG Myers made his maiden Hill century in 2007.

Only South North and Stockton have won as many times at The Hill as Sunderland.

Leading Wicket-taker: B Stewart 19 (2001-7)Notes on the above fixture:
The Hill has the most wins (10) against Tynemouth compared with any other NEPL club and the most home and away victories (five). Tynemouth are one only three current teams not to have won at Denton Bank. Taufeeq Umar’s 164* in 2005 is the highest NEPL score for The Hill and the second highest in all cricket (after NCD Craig’s 175 in 1978, also against Tynemouth). DJ Barrick nearly achieved a memorable double at Preston Avenue in 2005. His 5-60 was followed by 97*. ML Pollard's 28 wickets and
SJ Birtwisle’s 595 runs versus Tynemouth are the most against any NEPL club.
MAP Dale’s 91 in 2007 at Preston Avenue surpassed his own 86 for the highest away innings versus Tynemouth. AJ Maiden made 114* at Denton Bank it was his first Hill hundred.
