Bradfield U13s vs. Cromer U13s
Bradfield U13 306; Cromer U13 187 - Bradfield won by 119 runs
Despite the score, this was a good performance by the young Cromer boys, well captained by the aptly named Chris Skipper, against a very experienced Bradfield team contining three Norfolk age group players. Alfie Woodrow, just 10, had an impressive debut with bat and ball, while young Joe Winterford batted valiently against the much older county level bowlers. Timmy Bending knocked over the stumps and Ollie Cockaday took a good catch in the gully. Everybody did their very best and the team can be proud of the way they played.
