Houghton CWCC home ground known locally as 'The Grove' is one of the largest grounds in the North East Durham League but exactly how big is it? Well now we can tell you with the assistance of 2nd Team Skipper and Chief Civil Engineer Paul Reddel

Statistics

Outfield Area = 10439.903m2
Perimeter Length = 376.558m

Square = 1005.980m2
No of Wickets = 17

Batting at The Burnside End - Centre Wicket

Straight Drive = 61.646m
Square Cut = 44.431
Square Hook = 64.133
Cow Corner = 69.824

Batting at the Diary Lane end the straight drive is 60.892, legend has it West Indian Pro Clayton Lambton put a Houghton bowler out of the ground and over the bungalows in the 1990s that is easily over 90m, what a hit!! So thats the standard we expect The Boar players to emulate in the 2014 season.
