Nocton Cricket Club - Summer 2009

The club has made what can only be described as a quiet start to the season! They lost the first game to Cherry Willingham, when David Franklin made the top score of 20, and junior players John Hedley and William Faulkner took the only two wickets before Cherry scored the winning run. Against Reepham, David again made the top score, but this time only 9, and only John Hedley got a wicket. Aswarby were the next opponents, when David scored 43, but it still was not enough, even though David Glew took 4 - 27 when bowling. The fourth game was against Millers (at Billingborough) when David again top-scored, wtih 53, but only John Hedley got a wicket and so Nocton lost again. In the latest match a young Lindum side piled on the runs, making 192-7,before bowling Nocton out for another lowly score of 51. One day Nocton will make three figures!!

There will be the annual village friendly match on 14 June at Nocton, which will be against the Social Club. Spectators are warmly welcomed to watch and have a cup of tea with us. All games are played on Sundays, starting at 2pm. To join in (all teenagers and adults welcome, including absolute beginners!), come to practice night at 6.30 pm on Wednesdays.

For any information, phone David Glew on 321756.
