Sheringham are stood in good stead at the midway point in
the season, lying in 3rd position following another conclusive victory, this time against
a depleted Norwich ‘A’ team. With the opposition only able to field 9
players, the lobsters decided to take to the field first, in the hope to skittle out the
opposition for as little as they could. The Norwich ‘A’ innings began slowly,
with J Roberts and J Burton surviving the first few overs, despite Burton getting away
with two shots to mid-on that could easily have gone to hand. However, the break-through
came when Roberts was bowled by Smith (2-21). Soon after, Garrard (2-15) finally got some
reward for his trouble, as J Wright caught Ranasinghe, and then Norman was bowled 2 balls
later. With Burton the vital wicket to get, the lobsters continued to press, as youngster
Nudd did his best until he became Smith’s second victim. The opposition was never
able to string any partnerships together, as the lobsters were looking for the inevitable
wickets that would see them finish off the opposition in quick time. This came about in
the first over Andy King bowled, as he took the vital wicket of Burton (25), and then
removed Sanka (0) and Gyton (0), to finish with figures of 3-0. With only one more wicket
to claim, this was left to C Sizeland, who removed Bayfield for 1 to see the visitors all
out for an abysmal 49. Sheringham didn’t take long to win the game, as a poor bowling
attack was dispatched all over the park, C Wright and M Spillet picked the gaps well to
score a number of boundaries, and record an easy win for the lobsters in only 8.3 overs.
Spillet finished on 31, whilst Wright ended up on 13, both unbeaten. This result earned
the lobsters 20 points, and sees them move up to 3rd in the table, making their next
fixture against Beccles ‘A’ a very important one indeed. JOHN PIGGOTT We are trying to trace a gentleman by the name of John Piggott who used to live in Bodham, but we believe he moved to Aylmerton.
