Both the boys and girl’s 1st XI had the wonderful opportunity to play against the Marylebone Cricket Club or MCC. The girl’s fixture being the first girls’ fixture in Norwich.
The boys hung on for a nail-biting draw thanks to an unbeaten 35 from Jack Buttery and the girls fell short of the 169-run target despite India Fox’s superb unbeaten 62.
The U15A girls followed up on the U13 squad’s success in the Norfolk Cricket board Softball competition as they ended up winners at Redmayne.
The U17 A girls have qualified for the Finals Day this Wednesday in the National Plate competition after beating Haileybury with Livi Hill scoring 53 not out.
This weekend we took part in a big block fixture with the Perse.
The 1st XI boys lost by 2 wickets defending 148 runs. Jack Buttery with 39 and Sam Reynolds taking 4 for 15 the mentionable performances.
The 1st XI girls lost by 10 wickets after scoring 114.
There were some excellent individual performances with Sophia Molineux’s 33 not out, Sophia Betts 32 and 3 for 13 setting up the u14A girls win.
Jack Foreman’s incredible effort of 6 wickets for 12 runs and a match winning 35 not out saw the u14A boys home.
Ed Lewis’s bowling spell of 4 for 14 was not enough to prevent a loss for the u15A boys unfortunately.
The u14B boys were involved in a thriller as Zeetong Sun and Joseph Hawkes managed a superb partnership to rescue their team and earn a close win.
The 13A boys also managed a pull off a very tense 1 run victory with Benji Buskell, Charlie Sexton and George Hunter key performers.
The 12 A boys had a good 4 wicket win in a low scoring encounter, with Hal Dannatt holding the innings together with 23.
This week we have the 14A boys and 12A boys playing in their respective county finals, the girls 1st XI playing in the last 8 of the National Cup against Ipswich, the boys 1st XI competing in the Bedford T10’s and the annual ON match on Friday. And we are looking forward to the House cricket this Saturday where we hope the good weather will continue and we will have an exciting day’s cricket.
Good luck to all the teams involved.
