Norwich School vs MCC
Wednesday, 30 June 2010
Losing the toss, being asked to field first and then finding ourselves leaking runs at almost 8 an over was not the best of starts. However, after Sam Plater got the first wicket, gradually, through determined, consistent bowling and some good ground fielding, the run rate decreased to 5 an over by lunch. After the break, due to more accurate bowling, the MCC struggled to accelerate as they would have liked and declared their innings at 244/3.
Best bowling performances: Lasith Ranasinghe - 8 overs 2 maidens 1 for 23, and Harry Bamber - 7 overs 1 for 25.
Knowing there was still plenty of time left in the day, James Hooper (18 runs) and Will Bryan (23 runs) negotiated the time until tea for the loss of only one wicket. Matthew Plater (26 runs) carried on the good work before the MCC struck back, reducing the School to 104/4. Will Jones (56 runs) and Will Kennard (26 runs) set to work on rebuilding the innings and steadily accelerated in a fine stand of 86 before both being dismissed in quick succession. It was left to Tom Randon (30*) and Harry Bamber (18*) to finish the job, playing some delightful strokes along the way.
Norwich School won by 4 wickets with 8 balls remaining in the day.

NELSON HOUSE
The House takes its name from the school’s most distinguished ON and draws inspiration from the Nelson touch that aimed to take each individual’s strengths and weaknesses into account when attempting to mould a cohesive unit. The housemaster and his tutors endeavour to create an atmosphere of care and co-operation within the school and the wider community.
Nelson House has had notable sporting victories in recent years, culminating in winning Sports Day in 2007. Although we were narrowly beaten in this year’s Music Festival, it was the learning process as much as the final judgement that was important: Members of the House, be they boys or girls, young or old, were instructed and encouraged by their peers in order to produce an impressive performance on the day. A strong sense of identity and considerable pride in their achievement were admirable consequences of the experience.
Other House events focus on the formal concert that is held in the school chapel during the Michaelmas Term and the informal variety evening that is held during the Lent Term. On both occasions the wide variety of talent of the musicians and thespians provides exceptional entertainment.
