Durham 291 (Borthwick 64, Collingwood 50, Anderson 3-58) and 247 for 8 (Jennings 82, Burnham 52, Smith 5-25) beat Lancashire 204 (Croft 54, Petersen 51, Rushworth 4-30) and 333 (Procter 122, Hameed 53, Stokes 3-50, Borthwick 3-98 by two wickets.ScorecardThis game ended with small eruptions of blue and yellow joy in front of the pavilion and on the railway side of Trafalgar Road. They were accompanied a larger and more boisterous outburst of triumph from Durhams players in the dugout as Chris Rushworth cover-drove a Kyle Jarvis half-volley to the boundary, thus placing a seal on Durhams two-wicket victory.But, no, the occasion in its proper sense did not end there. For Paul Collingwood and his players later threw their bags on the coach that had arrived to take them home and told the driver they were staying in Southport. They played cricket with some of Southport and Birkdale most junior players on the outfield and one just wished that Colin Graves, the chairman of the ECB, had been there to see it. Look, one could have said, this is what can happen when you take four-day cricket back to its roots. Now, would you like a pint, Colin?Having been invited to Southport the Durham players did not overstay their welcome. They won the match, had a few drinks and regaled the Southport and Birkdale members with Blaydon Races, many, many verses of it, and then American Pie and Im Gonna Be.On a golden evening when players made common cause with those who watched them, photographs were taken amid the rich choruses. It made a wonderful tuneful conclusion to the sweetest of weeks. Then the Durham players asked if they could come back to Southport next year.Suddenly summer is in full sail and she has a following wind.Of course the eagerness of Durhams players to return may be something to do with the fact of their victory. Yet Lancashires players were also deeply appreciative of everything that this outground experience had offered them and they will certainly return for the county has a three-year staging agreement at Trafalgar Road.All spectators can hope is that the match is as stuffed with delights as the 2016 game managed to be. The final day began with the visitors needing 247 to win and when Collingwoods side were 170 for 2, it looked that this might be a match to deviate from the pattern of damp-palmed tension which had characterised games between these sides.Even when Jack Burnham was leg before to a full length ball from Simon Kerrigan, few reckoned the match was about to be blown off course. After all, Burnham had made 52 and he had looked increasingly comfortable as he lifted both Steven Croft and Kerrigan for sixes. Lancashire did not look like taking wickets. Bang, bang, bang, said the players on the ground as they encouraged each other. But it did not happen. Then Keaton Jennings, after cutting and pulling his way to 82 off 140 balls in this season when even warm-ups are welcome preludes to success, skied a pull off Tom Smith. The wicketkeeper, Tom Moores, tottered under it, shielded his eyes and clung on. In Smiths next over Michael Richardson perished down the leg side. 175 for 5. Ho hum.Enter Durhams captain to warm and respectful applause.For all his 40 years, his 68 Tests and his trademark jig-and-squat as he goes out to bat Paul Collingwood still marches to the wicket with the air of a no-nonsense PE teacher on the way to sort out trouble in the playground. You know the sort, the type who announces himself with: I dont care who started it lad but I know whos going to finish it.For nigh on two decades Collingwood has been playing this sort of role in Durham cricket, ending collapses, calming mayhem. But not on this occasion. For he was pinned on the back foot by Smith having made only 4, and when the same bowler had Paul Coughlin quite brilliantly caught by Moores diving to his right, Durham were 195 for 7, still 52 short of victory. This glorious match was back in the hazard.Mooress third catch was his best but in its way hardly better than that mighty skier which he could hardly see but still pouched to remove Jennings. For his part, Smith was in the middle of an eight-over spell in which he took four wickets for 12 runs and would finish with five for 25.But it was another 19-year-old in this game filled with promising young cricketers who then share in the stand which all but decided the match. Until he took a couple of wickets on the third afternoon, Adam Hickey had enjoyed - or not enjoyed - a quiet first-class debut, Now, he walked out to join Ben Stokes, who had already deposited Simon Kerrigan over the railway line and into Dover Road.As Hickey later explained, the two batsmen calmed things down before tea before going on the attack when the players returned. In truth, by this stage, with Durham on 197 for 7, the spectators needed the tea break as much as the players. On the resumption Stokes hit two more sixes over deep midwicket off Kerrigan and Hickey lifted Kyle Jarvis onto the roof of the pavilion with a much mightier blow.Steven Croft rotated his bowlers but the game was gone. Or was it? Suddenly Hickey called Stokes for a quick single and the England all-rounder was run out for 36 at the bowlers end. Four runs needed. Rushworth dealt with business and another county match at Trafalgar Road was over.And all this drama followed an morning session which was as tense as was expected. Lancashire savoured the first success as early as the sixth ball of the day when Mark Stoneman played across the line to one from Jarvis which pitched middle and leg only to hold its line and take him on the pad. Durham responded by taking 26 off Nathan Bucks four overs, forcing Croft to call Smith into the attack.Another good fourth-day crowd was held by the cricket and the ground grew in stillness broken only by the action in the middle. The houses on Harrod Drive became such as might be painted by Hopper, the trees as by Pissarro at Osny or Pontoise.Necessity, though, benefited Lancashire as Smith squared up Scott Borthwick, whose previous three innings against Lancashire had been 134, 103 not out and 64. The left-hander was caught in the gully by Alviro Petersen for 28 so that more or less qualified as under-achievement.Failures of any sort have been thin on the ground this extraordinary week. And the thing is that while Southport and Birkdale may be very special, it is not unique. There are many clubs who would welcome first-class counties and all they are looking for is the chance to put on a show.Outground cricket is enjoyed by spectators and appreciated by players. Amid the entirely understandable desire to maximise the revenue from other formats, someone should think a little more about taking the game back to the people who are its lifeblood.Tedy Bruschi Jersey .

Most recently he was the schools assistant football coach.BEREA, Ohio -- The Browns have personal compassion for Josh Gordon. Theyre done with him professionally.A day after the troubled wide receiver said hes entering rehab for an unspecified condition, Cleveland coach Hue Jackson said Friday that the team intends to move on from Gordon.What we need to do is just close that chapter right now, Jackson said. Hes doing what he needs to do, and we need to do what we need to do, which is continue to move forward.One of the NFLs most talented young players, Gordon, who has been suspended for 30 of the Browns past 35 games, announced Thursday that hes stepping away from football to focus on getting his life together. The 25-year-old was scheduled to return from his latest four-game suspension next week and possibly play on Oct. 9 against New England.However, Gordon has chosen to put his career on hold to work on an unidentified addiction.Jackson, who said he talked to Gordon several times about his decision to enter rehab, grew tired of the questions about the former Pro Bowler. Jackson said his sole focus needs to be on taking care of the players that are here and the players that are practicing and working.What is best for our football team is that we move forward and move on, Jackson said. He is not going to be with us. We wish him well, but we are moving forward.Just last week, Jackson defended Gordon and talked at length about how well he was doing during his suspension. Gordon was only permitted to attend team meetings during his latest four-game ban for another violation of the NFLs substance abuse policy.When pressed on his level of disappointment in Gordon, Jackson said he was through addressing the topic.Again, none of that matters right now, he said. Im not going to answer anymore Josh Gordon comments or questions. Im done with it. Im going to coach our team that is here. That is what I want to do.The Browns stood by Gordon as long as they could, showing support as he tried to quell his demons. But just as they did with quarterback Johnny Manziel, the team reached a breaking point despite his immense talent and potential.Still, Gordons departure is painful for his teammates, who have been impressed with how hard hes worked, and wished him the best.This is bigger than foottball, said wide receiver Andrew Hawkins.dddddddddddd Hes a friend of mine, someone me and a lot of guys in this locker room care about, so this is important for him. Im happy for him that he took this step. Hopefully, its the first step in the right direction and the first of a lot of good things to come for him.Gordons situation has touched Hawkins deeply.Hawkins sister, Lucia Young, died of a heroin overdose in June and hes still dealing with his grief. She was 30 years old, a recovering addict trying to help others.She had been clean for two to three years, doing an incredible job, Hawkins said. Talked to her regularly, but the one relapse cost her her life. It was something I didnt see coming and it kind of opens your eyes up to what addiction is like. Its not a black-and-white situation. Its not cut and dry and its important for Josh to take this step and try and figure it out.Its a hard road and he understands that. But football isnt important right now.Hawkins said Gordon had made major strides and had been accountable during his suspension. And as much as he would like to line up alongside Gordon, who led the league in yards receiving in 2013, Hawkins wants his friend to get better.The personal side is more important, said Hawkins. I love football as much as anybody else and Josh is one of the best talents, up there with the best talent that Ive ever seen up close and personal, but its still secondary. Him being a good receiver isnt going to save his life 20 years from now. Him coming back to help the Cleveland Browns in 2016 isnt going to help him in 2025 if hes still dealing with these same issues. So Im sincere in what hes doing is important.I pray for the best for him and Im here for him no matter what.Game notesCB Joe Haden (groin) was limited in practice and is questionable for Sundays game at Washington. ... Starting RG Alvin Bailey apologized for his arrest on OVI suspicion last week. Ive got to own up to it, and hopefully well be able to work past it, he said.
