Castle rise to the occasion
West Norfolk turned up at Castle Rising on a sunny afternoon for the last game of the season. Unfortunately the toss was lost and WN were inserted.
A clinical, all round performance.
WNCC batted first and posted a solid 241/7 from their 40 overs. Contributions all round including a disciplined 50 from Jim Thompson and 48 runs from Gurney.
On a glorious day, 24 of West Norfolk’s finest took on the challenge of the links at Hunstanton in the Spring Meeting of WNCC. The cricketing talent on show included England all rounder Peter Parfitt, Norfolk batsman Crow Goodley and Jonathon Agnew’s Uppingham bowling partner Nic Pull.
Russell overcomes Royal Wedding snub
Will Russell overcame his immense disappointment at being the only Old Etonian not to receive an invitation to the Royal Wedding by smashing a princely 100 not out in 56 balls to see WNCC to their 2nd win of the season.
