MATCH REPORTS
Youth saves the day
After late cry offs from key members of the squad, WNCC were fortunate to have available 2 young players in Freddie Fairey (age 8) and Harry Thompson (10). In baking hot sunshine, after losing the toss, Castle Rising elected to bat and ground out a relatively low score of 153 in 46 overs, with Freddie (1 for 15) and Harry (3 for 15) bowling extremely well.
Winning end to the season at Holkham
(Full results pending!)
WNCC posted a challenging 240 target in a game of 40 overs cricket, which included solid contributions from Fairey, Holden, Harrison, Seaman and Thompson R which was too much for the challenging pitch and solid bowling attack of Nathan Lomax, Richard Thompson, Ben Stanton and Simon Wilson-Stevens.
First game, first loss
Trinity Old Field was on fire with sunshine in early May (were has it gone?). sadly WNCC batting was not – with depleted numbers (9) – West Norfolk set a resonable total of 255 with strong contributions from Richard Thomspon (71), outscored to his fifty by John Everall (59) who is showing latent speed in the twilight of his batting career.
Match abondoned before a fall
Despite the Secretary organising two sides, Gresham’s were not aware of our game and the game was rescued with a used uncovered track and Mrs Fleming’s catering.
