REPORT |
Sheringham entertained top of the table Garboldisham in
their Alliance Division 3 match, and were well beaten in a high scoring match. The
visitors on winning the toss elected to bat first and made a promising start with a 44
opening partnership in the first 10 overs before Andy McKean (2-54) struck to remove
Swords (7). This brought Melvin (50) and Worby (100) together who began to hit the home
sides bowling to all parts of the ground taking the score to 141 in only 25 overs and a
massive score seemed on the cards. However Sheringhams Phil Moy (4-69) and Stuart Smith
(3-39) removed Garboldishams middle order to get the home side back into the game. A late
flurry from Wright (16 no) saw the visitors close their innings on 256 for 9.
Sheringhams innings suffered an early setback when skipper Kris Howell (9) fell early on
to Dyer (1-36). Ryan Carter (60) and Shaun Walton (24) staged a gallant fightback scoring
at a run rate of six an over in a partnership of 45 before Walton fell to Holland (2-39).
Jez Wright (30) joined Carter in a partnership of 61 and with more than half the overs
remaining, the home side were looking good at 127 for 2. However when Carter fell to W.
Wright (3-31), this led to a middle order collapse with C.Wright (2-38) joining in the
wicket taking. Sheringham were finally all out in the 38th over for 185. With three games
remaining, the Shannocks will need to improve if they are to avoid getting dragged into
one of the relegation places.

CARNIVAL THANKS
Dear Editor,
May I, through your columns, say thank you to the residents of Sheringham and district for
their terrific support for the recent Carnival Week? We are aware that it is not all plain
sailing for everyone, but, generally, the support on the streets and from our wonderful
sponsors and advertisers has been exceptional. We should also acknowledge the help given
to us by our splendid emergency services, by St. John Ambulance, and by our Town,
District, and County Councils (Incidentally, the provision of extra toilets, rubbish
collections, and bottle banks was the result of discussions following last year's Carnival
Week involving various agencies.) We try to be aware of the additional pressures on
Sheringham during Carnival Week- extra people and vehicles particularly and the strain
this puts on our Traffic Warden, Lifeguards, Foreshore Inspector, our local press and
others. More and more organisations are involved in this splendid Festival, it would be
impossible to name all of them, but I should single out the increasing help from the
Churches. All of the groups and individuals above, and the army of helpers during the
week, should give themselves a pat on the back for contributing to a happy and successful
week- and particularly those whose pure and blameless past enabled us all to enjoy
wall-to-wall sunshine!
But we haven't finished yet: still to come from your Carnival Association.
September 25th-An evening with Julie Reinger. (BBC Look East)
September 26/27/28th- Sheringham Folk Festival.
October 17/18/19th- Sheringham Star Wars Festival.
Please look out for posters. Finally, a personal and public thank you to the organising
committee, whose individual dedication, energy, and imaginations are impossible to
exaggerate.
Thanks folks. Yours cheerfully, Tony Nelson.
Chairman - Sheringham Carnival Association. |
