The Authors XI made their debut in a game staged earlier this month, taking on the Ship Inn.
Their ranks included Tom Holland, Matt Thacker, Nick Hogg, Charlie Smith and John Sutton.
Their visit came hot on the heels of the annual game against the MCC as the season of beach cricket continued in the north-east town.
The Authors XI have been playing cricket since 1895 and are considered one of the oldest wandering teams in the game.
They have their roots in Edwardian times, and their alumni includes PG Wodehouse, Arthur Conan Doyle and JM Barrie. The team waned and was then revived with great names such as Richie Benaud and Dennis Compton adding their considerable skills.
It was further revived in 2012, playing over a dozen matches at grounds across England.
