| CRICKET
REPORT |
Sheringham travelled to Brooke in their Division 3
Alliance match and gained 23 valuable points with a three 3 wicket victory. Brooke won the
toss & elected to bat first which soon proved to be the correct decision as C. Bennett
(117 no) took advantage of some loose bowling. J. Reynolds (24), and R. Hainen (33) added
good support as the home side finished on 234 for 6. Pick of the Sheringham bowlers were
Andy McKean (3-26) and Phil Moy (1-33), who kept things tight as Sheringhams other bowlers
had a day they would sooner forget. The Shannocks innings got of to a solid start with
Kristian Howell & Mc,Kean (13) putting on 38 for the first wicket. Ally Graver (62)
joined Howell (80) and the pair put on 116 in only 22 overs to put Sheringham in total
command. A couple of quick wickets then fell and Bennett (2-31), Powell (2-38) &
Spooner (2-62) along with the remainder of the home side sensed an unlikely victory.
However Chaz Sizeland (32) and Olly Smith (14) steadied the ship and the visitors secured
victory off the last over.

CROQUET. Bodham Croquet Club were at home
to Norwich Croquet Club on Wednesday 16th July, a glorious hot day. Unfortunately,
resulting road conditions (melting tarmac, loose chipping) meant that one of the visiting
cars was delayed, so there was only time to play two doubles matches. Both won by the home
side; on a very fast court Harry Bruford (captain) and Paul Cowing finished in style and
won 26-19, while Graham Fearn and Cedric Lytton won on time 15-10. A return match at
Norwich has been arranged for 27th August. Harry Bruford would welcome enquiries and new
players. Phone 588122. Cedric Lytton.

Dear Editor.
I write, as I am a little confused as to what has happened to the speed limit signs on
Holway and Cooper Road. I was under the impression that they stated a speed limit of 30mph
due to it being a built up area with children playing etc. However, recently it appears
that they have been changed to 'please drive like a prat, exceed the speed limit and, try
to maim or kill one of the children living on these roads' It would seem that the moron
brigade, most of whom usually spend their sad pointless little lives on the car park
annoying people, have decided that Holway and Cooper Road are bloody race tracks. There is
a pillock in a red fiesta who seems particularly fond of trying to kill a child, I wonder
if he will still think he's a great driver when he finally succeeds in doing so. I've seen
what happens to a person when they're hit by ? a ton of steel. It's not pleasant (try
telling a guy that he'll be ok when he has just caved the windscreen and roof in of a car
with his face). And you'd think that after those two morons in Norwich got sent down for
dangerous driving after killing a pedestrian, that maybe they'd learn, apparently not. I
have young children, why should these morons put them at risk? Do not they, and everyone
else living around here have the right to cross the road without worrying if one of these
pillocks is going to come screaming around the corner? And do we not have the right to sit
in our gardens without the irritating racket that passes for music, and the revving of
engines at all times of the day and night (why is it that people who know nothing about
cars always do that?).
What I also find strange, is why anyone would think it cool to drive around in a knackered
old Vauxhall Nova or Ford Escort, my lawn mower is more impressive, then again, with that
kind of mentality I suppose it doesn't take that much to impress. What's more bizarre, is
that they draw attention to themselves with their irritating noise. Sadly, words will do
little to stop these children, and like children, the only thing that will stop them, is
taking their little toys away. And this will only happen when they lose their licences,
and a few correctly placed speed cameras would be a quick and easy way to achieve this.
Correct me if I am wrong but, if you have had your licence less that two years and you
obtain six points, you lose it, this would cover most of them, would it not? If they'll
put cameras in a toilet like Gt Yarmouth, why not Sheringham? Personally I've been an
advocate of the 'boy racer meet Mr tree at 70mph' train of thought for some time; sadly,
this has yet to become law, but it will get my vote. Excuse my rant but, when you have to
put up with the school run (also known as 20 ways to kill a child through bad driving and
parking) outside your door twice a day, then boy racers are added into the equation, one
tends to get fed up. When it eventually does happen, the moron responsible had better hope
that it's not a member of my family, because losing their licence will be the least of
their worries. Yours, Thoroughly Fed up with it all, and wishing something would be done
about it. CJ Hall. Cooper Road, Sheringham. |
