Hethersett and Tas Valley Cricket Club results, scores and reports 2007

April - August

April 16th, 2007

Hethersett and Tas Valley Cricket Club opened their season with a friendly against Ketteringham Hall and lost by five wickets in a sun filled afternoon full of runs. 

Top Hethersett batsman Matthew Ellis began where he left off last year with an unbeaten century as the visitors, having won the toss and decided to bat, hit 199-6 from their 40 overs. 

Ellis retired on 100 which included 11 fours and two sixes. He was well supported by brother Richard Ellis who hit 28. The target proved too low, however, with Ketteringham Hall scoring 200-5 with over two overs in hand. Matt Hansell was the pick of the Hethersett bowlers with 3-35 from 5.2 overs.

On Sunday the club have a friendly at Halvergate.

April 30th

Hethersett and Tas Valley got their competitive season off to the best possible start on Saturday with all three teams recording opening day Norfolk League wins.

The firsts opened their Division Two campaign with a two wicket victory over Ketteringham Hall. Ketteringham batted first and notched 181-8 from their allotted 45 overs with Sprong (43) and R. Smith (42 not out) scoring almost half of their runs. Matt Steward led the way for Hethersett with an excellent spell of swing bowling that saw him take 4-24 from 12 overs.

Richard Ellis Jr (34) and Rob Mitchell (19) gave Hethersett and Tas Valley a solid start and they were well backed up by Matthew Ellis (38), Nick Burrett (42) and Matt Steward (26) as they reached their target with two wickets and just over three overs in hand.

Hethersett and Tas Valley Seconds found the going pretty easy against Aldborough with a comfortable nine wicket win in Division Seven. Aldborough notched up a seemingly healthy 168 from 42 overs with R. Struges top scoring with 53. Jon Smee with 4-23 and John Nash with 3-28 did most of the damage.

Hethersett made short work of their target, losing just one wicket in scoring 170 in just 27.3 overs. Miles Kemp was unbeaten on 69 and Tony Wenham hit an unbeaten 50. The only wicket to fall was that of Geoff Chapple after he had hit a useful 35.

The thirds found themselves up against a very youthful and enthusiastic Hales Colts team in Division 10. Batting first Hethersett and Tas Valley hit 201-7 before declaring their innings after 37 overs. Dale Clarke top scored with 46 and there were good contributions from Richard Parslow (35 not out), Craig Brooke (33), Al Watts (22) and Shaun Barker (15).

The Hales innings was dominated by opener Peter Dye who hit an unbeaten 107 with none of the other batsmen getting into double figures. Pick of the bowlers was Danny Whitworth with 3-20 from seven overs.

On Sunday, Hethersett and Tas Valley made it four wins out of four for the weekend when they beat Halvergate by 79 runs in the Mid Norfolk Sunday League Division Two.

Hethersett batted first and hit 169-9 from their 40 overs with Richard Ellis Jr scoring 41, Rob Mitchell 33 and Nick Burrett 43. They then skittled Halvergate out for 90 with Matt Ellis taking 5-32 and Tim Shelley 3-27.

This weekend Hethersett and Tas Valley have another full league programme on Saturday with the firsts at home to Sprowston, the seconds visit Sprowston and the thirds are home to Blundeston. On Sunday the club have a Challenge Cup First Round tie at Hunstanton.  

May 7th

Hethersett and Tas Valley made it two league wins out of two with a comfortable 79 run victory over Sprowston Seconds.

Hethersett batted first and scored a massive 303-4 off their 45 overs with Simon Redhead putting the Sprowston attack to the sword with an unbeaten 112 that included 17 fours and four sixes. He was well supported by Richard Ellis Jr with 54, Nick Burrett with 47, Dave Cosford with 35 and Matt Steward who hit 13 from three balls at the end of the innings.

Sprowston soon got behind the run rate as early wickets fell before Pearce (65) and Doy (85 not out) steadied the ship. Hethersett still ran out comfortable winners with Phil Walmsley the pick of their bowlers with 3-44.

Hethersett and Tas Valley Seconds had a nailbiting one run victory to keep their 100% league record when they visited Sprowston III.

Hethersett batted first and notched 195-8 from their 45 overs with virtually every batsman getting into double figures. Jon Smee top scored with 32.

Sprowston started well in reply but then good bowling from Tony Wenham, who bagged 5-32 from 11 overs, put the brakes on and Sprowston fell agonisingly one run short of their target.

The club has a full fixture list of league matches again this weekend. On Saturday the firsts visit Hardingham and the seconds are home to Norwich Union II. The thirds visit Norwich Union III. On Sunday Hethersett and Tas Valley are away to Saxlingham.

May 14th

Hethersett and Tas Valley are top of Division Two of the Norfolk Cricket League following three consecutive victories. 

On Saturday they saw off the challenge of Hardingham with a comfortable 70-run win. 

Hardingham won the toss and put Hethersett in. They soon recovered from the early loss of opener Nick Burrett with a solid partnership between brothers Richard Ellis Jr (31) and Matthew Ellis (72). A hard-hitting 70 from Dave Cosford that included five sixes and five fours and a belligerent 28 from Matt Steward saw the team to 226 all out from 44.2 overs. 

Hardingham soon fell below the asking rate despite useful knocks from A. Cook (68), Michael Breame (24) and C. Cowles (16). The remainder of the Hardingham batting fell cheaply and they were all out for 156 after just 34.3 overs with Assad Abbas taking 5-28 and Matt Steward 2-40. 

Hethersett and Tas Valley Seconds also made it three league wins out of three with another nailbiting finish in Division Seven of the Norfolk League. 

Having beaten Sprowston by just one run the previous week, they once again had supporters on the edge of their seats as they beat Norwich Union Seconds with the last pair at the wicket. 

Hethersett won the toss and put the opposition in. Norwich Union had solid contributions throughout the innings and finished on 183-8 from their 45 overs with Jon Nash taking 4-39 and Steven Beck 3-38. 

Hethersett lost a number of early wickets and looked to be rocking until veteran Andy Mack came to the crease at number nine and hammered an unbeaten 85 that included 11 fours and three sixes. Hethersett reached their target with the final pairing of Mack and Michael Larkin at the wicket. 

Hethersett and Tas Valley Thirds went down by seven wickets to Norwich Union III. Hethersett batted first and were bowled out for 64 with Jack Smith top scoring with 24 and Dale Clarke hitting 16. In response Norwich Union scored 66-3 in 21 overs with Dan Whitworth the pick of the bowlers with 2-23. 

Hethersett and Tas Valley’s Norfolk Sunday League Division 2 game at Saxlingham was abandoned due to heavy rain. 

This weekend the Saturday teams all have Norfolk League fixtures. The firsts are home to Old Catton, the seconds visit Old Catton II and the thirds are home to Shipdham. On Sunday the team visit Worstead in the Mid Norfolk Sunday League.

Hethersett and Tas Valley made it four wins out of four in the Norfolk League Division Two as their promotion push gathers momentum. 

The comfortably beat Old Catton by nine wickets with a number of fine individual performances. 

Hethersett won the toss and put Old Catton in. The visitors struggled to make headway and only scored at just over three runs an over, finishing on a modest 146-7 which was never going to be enough against a very strong home attack. 

The club’s leading wicket-taker Matt Steward had a field day taking 6-23 from 12 overs, six of which were maidens. 

Hethersett found their task easy despite the early loss of Richard Ellis Jr for just three. Brother Matthew Ellis joined Robert Mitchell at the wicket and a century partnership saw the team home for the loss of just one wicket and with almost 21 overs in hand. Mitchell hit an unbeaten 60 and Ellis ended 80 not out. 

Hethersett and Tas Valley Seconds also made it four consecutive league wins when they beat Old Catton Seconds by five wickets in Division Seven. 

Hethersett won the toss and put Old Catton in. Again the run rate was poor thanks to some tight bowling from the visitors. The home team scored just 139 all out from 44 overs. The wickets were spread out with John Nash taking 4-44, Steven Beck 3-24 and Jon Smee 2-22. 

Highlight of Hethersett’s reply was an unbeaten 63 from Tristan Hunt that included seven fours. The Seconds reached their target with five wickets and almost two overs to spare. 

The Thirds made it a hat-trick of Saturday wins for the club when they beat Shipdham Seconds by three wickets. Shipdam won the toss and elected to bat with opener D. Dodd hitting an unbreaten 101 in his team’s 169-9 from their 45 overs. Dale Clarke and Daniel Whirworth both took 3-28. 

The early Hethersett order fell cheaply before good contributions from Mike Larkin (25), Dale Clarke (18), Shaun Barker (17) steadied the innings. Alex Reeder hit a fine 40 not out that included five fours and two sixes and Jack Smith (18 not out) saw Hethersett home with three wickets and just under eight overs to spare. 

On Sunday, Hethersett and Tas Valley had a convincing five wicket win over Worstead in the Mid Norfolk Sunday League Division Two.  

Worstead won the toss and elected to bat and were skittled out for 112 in 31 overs. Matt Steward was once again the destroyer in chief with 4-14 in 10 overs. He has hit a rich vein of form with the ball with 12 wickets for just 38 runs in 24 overs over the past week. 

Hethersett reached their target for the loss of five wickets after 28.3 overs with opener Tim Shelley scoring almost half the runs with 56. 

Hethersett and Tas Valley’s midweek X1 beat New Buckenham by five runs in the first round of the Wicklewood Shield. 

Hethersett batted first and scored 123-7 from their 20 overs with opener Nick Burrett hitting 62. In reply New Buckenham notched 118-7 with Jack Smith taking 2-15 and Matt Steward 2-1. 

The club’s Under-11 team were well beaten by Thetford Town by 10 wickets in the Norfolk Alliance Under-11 section. 

This Saturday the club has a full league programme with the firsts away to Cringleford Lodge, the seconds home to Norwich and Coltishall Wanderers Fourths and the thirds away to Garboldisham. 

The club then takes off for a two day Bank Holiday tour to Nottingham where they will play Nottingham CC at Colston Bassett on Sunday and Kinoulton on Sunday.

Hethersett and Tas Valley went on the 20-over rampage to beat Earlham Village by 81 runs in the Midweek 20-20 competition. 

Hethersett lost the toss and were put into bat and scored a very healthy 151-9 at well over a run a ball. Star of the batting performance was all-rounder Matt Steward who, batting at number six, smashed an unbeaten 56 that included four fours and four sixes. 

Earlham were always behind the required run rate and were all out for 70 with Miles Kemp taking 2-6 from four overs. 

Hethersett and Tas Valley are through to the second round of the Wensum Midweek Cup after first round opponents Old Catton Nomads conceded the match after failing to put a team together. 

Hethersett and Tas Valley beat Earlham by 81 runs in a 20-20 match.

Rain and bad weather threatened to completely wash out Hethersett and Tas Valley’s Bank Holiday three match tour of Nottinghamshire with play only being possible in the final match.

Games against Kinoulton and Nottingham were abandoned, but Hethersett did see action on the final day of the tour when they took on a very strong club side from Papplewick and Linby and did extremely well to only go down by 23 runs.

Papplewick and Linby won the toss and batted first, scoring a healthy 207-8 from their 40 overs with Jim Rhodes hitting 96. The wickets were shared between the Hethersett bowlers with two each for Matt Steward, Jack Smith and Asad Abbas.

Hethersett’s reply featured three major innings with Matt Ellis hitting 10 fours in his 70,  brother Richard Ellis hitting 23 and all-rounder Matt Steward weighing in with a quick-fire 36 that included three sixes. It wasn’t enough, however, as the visitors fell short of their target with 184-8 against one of the strongest club sides in the Nottingham area.

 

Hethersett and Tas Valley lost to Papplewick and Linby of Nottinghamshire by 23 runs in a friendly.

Hethersett and Tas Valley have produced six of the best over the past two weeks as they continue to take the Norfolk Cricket League by storm.  

And it’s sixes all the way for both the firsts and seconds who both have 100 per cent league records with six wins out of six. They sit proudly at the top of Division Two and Seven respectively  

Meanwhile a youthful and skilful third team have climbed up to third place in Division 10.  

The first team made light work of their last two fixtures with a 94-run win over Cringleford Lodge being followed by a six wicket victory over Topcroft.  

The seconds also recorded comprehensive victories over Norwich and Coltishall Wanderers Fourths by 123 runs and Diss Thirds by nine wickets.  

Not to be outdone, the thirds beat Garboldisham Thirds by 83 runs and Great Melton Fourths by 108 runs.  

There were numerous outstanding performances in those games. Matt Ellis was in outstanding form for the firsts with 87 and 3-15 against Cringleford Lodge and 52 and 3-45 against Topcroft.  

In the Topcroft match, Dave Cosford took 3-33 and Richard Ellis Junior scored 47.  

For the Seconds, Hethersett hammered 268-4 against Norwich and Coltishall Wanderers with major knocks from Tristan Hunt (78 not out), Tony Wenham (64), Geoff Chappell (48) and Tim Elverson (39). Jon Smee weighed in with 4-35.  

For the Thirds, Greg Lochhead hit 71 and Daniel Whitworth took 3-18 against Garboldisham and Tom Brandon-Street hit his maiden club half century with 58 against Great Melton. He received excellent support from Jack Smith (48 not out), Lou Provert (33) and Richard Ellis Senior (33). Jack Smith rounded off a fine display by taking 3-15.  

This Saturday all three teams are in league action again. The firsts visit second in the table Rollesby, the seconds are home to Tacolneston and the thirds visit Hardingham.  

On Sunday Hethersett and Tas Valley are home to Dereham Sunday in the Norfolk Sunday League and on Tuesday (12th June) the club’s Under-11s visit Diss Uner-11s.  

Hethersett and Tas Valley Firsts beat Cringleford Lodge by 84 runs in the Knights Norfolk League Division 2.

Hethersett and Tas Valley are through to the third round of the Wensum Midweek 20-20 cup after defeating Reepham and Salle by 40 runs in the second round.

Hethersett batted first and notched 107 from their 20 overs with solid contributions from Tim Elverson (16), Jimmy Adamson (11), Matt Ellis (18), Matt Steward (21) and Matt Hansell (12 not out).

June 11th 

Hethersett and Tas Valley continued their top of the table form to make it seven consecutive wins in the Norfolk League Division Two with victory over second-in-the-table Rollesby.  

The match was much closer than the winning six wicket margin suggests with Hethersett only reaching their target in the penultimate over and struggling to keep up with a modest run chase for most of their innings.  

Hethersett were without captain and all-rounder Matt Ellis and strike bowler Dave Cosford, both unavailable. Hethersett won the toss and put the home side in on a dull grey day in North Norfolk.  

The home team, who are renowned for being able to defend modest totals, could only score 152 all out with the final wicket falling in the last over. Fast bowler Matt Steward was the star for Hethersett, bowling straight through his 12 overs to take 5-27. The opposition gave him the accolade of the best bowler they have faced this season. Some of the Hethersett work in the field was sloppy, however, as they conceded 37 extras that included 23 wides and eight no balls – almost a quarter of Rollesby’s score.  

In reply, Richard Ellis and Rob Mitchell gave Hethersett a solid start with Ellis going on to make a watchful 43.  

Hethersett found it difficult to increase the pace of their innings against some strong bowling from Rollesby and in deteriorating light. Simon Redhead contributed a valuable 23 before Nick Burrett and James Curson came together to increase the scoring rate and see Hethersett home with just 10 balls remaining. Burrett ended unbeaten on 32 and Curson was 16 not out.  

Hethersett and Tas Valley Seconds suffered their first league defeat of the season when they went down to Tacolneston by 31 runs in Division Seven.  

Hethersett won the toss and put Tacolneston in only to find opener D. Cooke in sparkling form with 103 of the visitors’ total of 162-9. Steven Beck took 3-53 and Chris Bolderstone 3-38.  

Hethersett struggled in reply and only Bolderstone (25), Mike Larkin (25), Tristan Hunt (21) and Russell Cooper (19) reached double figures as they were all out for 131 with C. Turner taking 5-23.  

Hethersett and Tas Valley Thirds also went down – losing by 113 runs at Hardingham in Division 10 to end their run of victories.  

Hardingham batted first and scored 191-9 in their 45 overs with Daniel Whitworth taking 4-59.  

In reply Hethersett crumbled to 78 all out in 36.4 overs with Alex Reeder top scoring with 18.

Hethersett and Tas Valley beat Rollesby by six wickets in the Knights Norfolk League Division Two:

Hethersett and Tas Valley’s first and second teams stay at the top of their respective Norfolk League Divisions despite having a fruitless weekend. 

Only one of the Saturday league sides saw action with the first team’s game at Diss and the thirds match at North Elmham being called off without a single ball being bowled. 

The seconds were at home to Bungay in Division Seven. Bungay won the toss and put the home side into bat and they hammered an impressive 240-7 from their 45 overs with plenty of boundaries. Tony Wenham hit 11 fours in 66, Nick Burrett 12 fours and two sixes in 83 and Matt Steward four fours and a six in 28. 

Sadly the rain came down and Bungay were unable to start their reply as the match was abandoned. 

Hethersett and Tas Valley Under-11s beat Garboldisham Under-11s by five wickets in the Norfolk Alliance Under-11 League. 

This Saturday the club has a full round of Norfolk League fixtures. The firsts are home to Ketteringham Hall, the seconds visit Aldborough and the thirds are home to Hales Colts. On Sunday they visit Great Witchingham in the Mid Norfolk Sunday League. 

Result: Abandoned Hethersett and Tas Valley II v Bungay II in the Knights Norfolk League Division Seven – Match abandoned.

July 2nd

Hethersett and Tas Valley tightened their grip on the top of Norfolk League Division Two with a comprehensive nine wicket victory over Ketteringham Hall that extended their unbeaten  run.

 

Hethersett won the toss and put Ketteringham into bat. The visitors were soon in trouble with both openers being dismissed for ducks in the face of some accurate bowling from Dave Cosford (3-25) and Matt Steward (2-23).

 

A number of Ketteringham players made it to double figures but solid bowling from Hethersett ensured they were restricted to just 108 off 34.4 overs. The scoreline would have been less had Hethersett held onto catches.

 

Hethersett made short work of their target with Matthew Ellis hammering an unbeaten half century that included two enormous sixes and brother Richard Ellis playing the anchor role to see the home side home for the loss of just one wicket and with 24 overs remaining.

 

Hethersett and Tas Valley’s second team game at Aldborough was called off due to a waterlogged ground.

 

Hethersett and Tas Valley Thirds completed a double over Hales Colts thanks to an 80 run victory.

 

Hethersett batted first and made a rather disappointing 143 all out in just 29.4 overs. Opener Sam Smith was top scorer with 41.

 

Hales found the going tough when they replied and they were all out for 63 with three wickets each for Alex Bugg and Daniel Whitworth.

 

This Saturday the first team visit Sprowston in Division Two of the Norfolk League while the seconds are home to Sprowston in Division Seven and the thirds visit Blundeston in Division Ten. The Sunday side are home to Halvergate in the Mid Norfolk Sunday League Division Two. On Tuesday the midweek side have a home 20-20 friendly against Earlham Village.

July 9th

Hethersett and Tas Valley were celebrating one over the eight after an exciting 10 run victory over Sprowston Seconds in the Knights Norfolk League Division Two.

Their ninth consecutive league win stretches their lead at the top following a relatively low scoring game at Sprowston.

The home team won the toss and put Hethersett in. The visitors were soon in trouble with John Curtis going first ball and Matt Ellis falling for just a single to leave them on 5-2 after three overs.

Richard Ellis and Simon Redhead steadied the ship with a 32 run partnership for the third wicket before Ellis fell for 19. Tim Shelley joined Redhead in a 67 run partnership before Redhead edged the ball behind for 46. Shelley and Matt Steward departed shortly after as Hethersett struggled to 127-6.

Nick Burrett contributed a solid 40 before debutant Jack Smith and Asad Abbas scratched a number of late runs and extras to take the score to 184-9.

Hethersett bowled and fielded superbly to restrict Sprowston to 67-1 from 25 overs Tim Shelley, Matt Steward and Assad Abbas bowled economically leaving Sprowston needing 87 from their last 10 overs.

It was an exciting end as skipper Matt Ellis came forward to bowl the last over with Sprowston needing 18. Last year against the same team Ellis had conceded three sixes in the final over. This time he held his nerve and conceded just eight runs to leave Hethersett winners by just 10 runs. Matt Steward was the pick of the bowlers again with 2-28.

Hethersett and Tas Valley Seconds continued their excellent top of the table form with a comfortable win nine wicket victory over Sprowston Thirds in Division Seven.

Hethersett won the toss and put the opposition into bat and were soon among the wickets with only D. Watkins (22), N. Spilling (33) and W. Hall (18) providing much opposition as Sprowston could only reach 122-9 from their 45 overs.

Hethersett made short work of their reply with openers Tim Elverson (58) and Miles Kemp (41 not out) seeing them to the edge of victory with a partnership of 103 before Elverson fell and it was left to Kemp and Tony Wenham to see the side home for the loss of just one wicket and with more than 20 overs remaining.

Hethersett and Tas Valley Third’s game at Blundeston was called off.

This Saturday the Firsts are home to Hardingham with the seconds visiting Norwich Union and the Thirds at home to Norwich Union.

 

Hethersett and Tas Valley beat Sprowston Seconds by 10 runs in the Knights Norfolk League Division Two.

Hethersett and Tas Valley’s Sunday team beat Halvergate in the Mid Norfolk Sunday League Division Two after a nail-biting finish.

Halvergate needed 10 runs off the last over but Matt Steward managed to restrict them to seven to see his team home by just three runs.

Hethersett won the toss and decided to bat, scoring 200 all out with just three balls of their allotted 40 overs remaining.  Pick of the home batsmen was Richard Ellis with 77. He was well supported by an excellent 38 from youngster Jack Smith, 20 from Nick Burrett, 13 from Matt Ellis and 13 from Phil Walmsley.

Steward took an early wicket as Halvergate started their reply but a solid partnership between Foreman (49) and Clarke (23) saw Halvergate take the initiative. Hethersett bowled tidily, however, with Steward returning to take two late wickets to give him figures of 3-42. The team held their nerve in a tense final over.

 

Hethersett and Tas Valley beat Halvergate by three runs in the Mid Norfolk Sunday League Division Two.

Hethersett and Tas Valley reeled off their tenth successive Norfolk League Division Two victory with a comfortable 140 run win over Hardingham. 

With just eight league games remaining, Hethersett are now odds on favourites to win the division and promotion to Division One. 

Hardingham won the toss and put Hethersett into bat and soon began to regret their decision as Richard Ellis (64) and Tim Shelley (32) piled on the runs. When Shelley fell, skipper Matt Ellis increased the pace even more with 72 that included eight fours and two sixes. 

The side continued to score at almost a run a ball and notched a healthy 264-9 from their 45 overs. In reply, Hardingham lost wickets cheaply and on a regular basis with only Goodrum (49) and Edge (22) reaching double figures as they were all out for 124 in just 33 overs. Hethersett bowlers shared the wickets with Assad Abbas taking 3-20, Phil Walmsley 2-32 and Dave Cosford 2-20. 

Hethersett and Tas Valley Seconds also continued their top of the table form with a four wicket win over Norwich Union Seconds. 

Hethersett won the toss and put Norwich Union in and they struggled to 144-9 from their 45 overs with John Nash taking 4-29 and Steve Beck 2-30. Hethersett had no problems reaching their target in just 34.4 overs for the loss of six wickets with major contributions from Tony Wenham (55), Tristan Hunt (39), Chris Bolderstone (17) and Dean Parfitt (21). 

Hethersett and Tas Valley Thirds made it a hat-trick of Norfolk League wins for the club by beating Norwich Union Thirds by 58 runs in Division 10. 

Hethersett won the toss and elected to bat and hammered 276 all out from 40.2 overs. Exciting young prospect Tom Brandon-Street hit another half century and youngster Sam Smith weighted in with 45. Star of the batting was the experienced Russell Cooper who hit 68 and most of the other batsmen made it into double figures. 

Norwich Union fell well short of their target with 218-8 from their 45 overs. Cooper rounded off a fine match by taking 4-16. 

 

Hethersett and Tas Valley beat Hardingham by 140 runs in Norfolk League Division 2.

Hethersett and Tas Valley’s Sunday side made short work in beating a poor Costessey side in the quarter finals of the Brooke Cup. 

Batting first, Hethersett scored 266 from 39.2 overs with telling contributions from Dave Cosford (26), Nick Burrett (24), Matt Steward (38), Tim Shelley (51 not out), Matt Ellis (43), Jack Smith (27). 

Costessey made no attempt to keep up with the required run rate and were all out for 113 to give Hethersett victory by a massive 153 runs. Every Hethersett player had a bowl with the wickets being spread throughout the team. 

This Sunday Hethersett are home to Saxlingham in the Mid-Norfolk Sunday League Division Two.

Hethersett had no problems knocking off the required runs for the loss of just three wickets and with six overs remaining. Richard Ellis hit 35 and James Hipperson an unbeaten 31.

Hethersett and Tas Valley are on course for an impressive promotion hat-trick in the Knights Norfolk League. 

The first and second team are both top of their divisions and looking odds on to step up. Now the third team are beginning to mount a late promotion push. 

With the first team’s game at Catton called off, the focus shifted to the promotion aspirations of both the second and third teams. 

The seconds lost the toss against Old Catton and were put into bat. Old Catton soon began to regret that decision as Hethersett piled on the runs with the top seven batsmen all getting into double figures and the scoring rate up at over a run a ball. Hethersett finished on 288-5 from their 45 overs with major contributions from opener Dave Elverson (77), Dean Parfitt (71 not out) and Russell Cooper (42 not out). 

Old Catton started strongly but then tailed away in the lower order and reached 191-8 from their 45 overs. Wickets were spread throughout the Hethersett bowlers with two each for Jon Smee, Russell Cooper and Dave Elverson and one for Habib Bewley and Steven Beck. 

The thirds have been improving all season and have moved up to third place in Division Ten – just outside the promotion places, but with plenty of games to go to push themselves into the top two ahead of either Lowestoft B or Blundeston. 

On Saturday they had a tough game at Shipdham and came away with an exciting four run victory. 

Hethersett batted first and scored 146 all out in 43 overs with John Curtis hitting 34 and Jack Smith 35. It seemed a modest total but some good bowling saw Shipdham fall to 142 all out – just five runs short of their target with Daniel Whitworth taking 3-21. 

This weekend the firsts will be looking to make it 11 consecutive league wins when they play Cringleford Lodge at Flordon. The seconds visit Norwich and Coltishall Wanderers and the thirds are home to Garboldisham. 

Hethersett and Tas Valley’s Sunday game against Saxlingham was cancelled. This week Hethersett are home to Worstead in the Mid-Norfolk Sunday League Division 2. 

 

Hethersett and Tas Valley II beat Old Catton by 97 runs in the Knights Norfolk League Division Seven.

Hethersett and Tas Valley found Norfolk Alliance opponents Ashmanhaugh just too strong for them in the final of the Wensum Midweek 20-20 Cup, going down by 28 runs.

Batting second, Hethersett coped well with the required run rate of almost nine an over but lost wickets at regular intervals and ultimately this decided the contest. 

Ashmanhaugh won the toss and elected to bat and hammered a very healthy 174-6 from their 20 overs with plenty of solid batting throughout the team with Bernie Everett (18), Broughton (38 retired), Mollen (32 retired) and D. Inglis (30) leading the way. Hethersett’s bowlers struggled with Phil Walmsley being the pick with 2-24. 

Hethersett and Tas Valley’s reply saw them keep up with the required run rate, but losing wickets at regular intervals despite solid knocks of 36 from Tim Shelley and 28 from skipper Matt Ellis. 

In the end it was wickets that counted as Hethersett were bowled out for 146 with three overs remaining with D. Inglis taking 3-5. 

After the game Ashmanhaugh dedicated the trophy to the memory of 18-year-old club member Lewis Pegg who tragically died in a car crash near Hoveton in June.  The club has also announced plans to put up a commemorative scoreboard inscribed with Lewis’ name.

Ashmanhaugh beat Hethersett and Tas Valley by 28 runs in the final of the Wensum Midweek 20-20 Cup.

Hethersett and Tas Valley made another giant step towards the Knights Norfolk League Division Two title with a comprehensive 219 run victory over bottom club Cringleford Lodge. 

Hethersett won the toss and decided to bat and it soon proved a good decision with the top five making hay while the summer sun shone at last. 

The Ellis brothers were in top form with Richard hitting an unbeaten 87 and the more belligerent Matt smashing 74 that included 13 fours. When Matt fell it brought in big hitting Simon Redhead who crashed eight fours and four sixes in an innings of 60 as Hethersett continued to score at more than a run a ball. 

Nick Burrett weighed in at the end of the innings with a quickfire 33 not out as the team reached a massive 282-3 from their 45 overs. 

Hethersett’s superiority was then transferred to the bowling department where Asian spin king Asad Abbas removed four of the top five batsmen and went on to take 5-21 from 10 overs. Dave Cosford came on towards the end of the innings to mop up the tail with 2-5 as Cringleford capitulated to 63 all out after just 26.3 overs. 

With 11 consecutive victories and three no results and with just four league matches to play, Hethersett are odds on to win the division and gain promotion.   

Hethersett and Tas Valley Seconds also had a comfortable win to strengthen their position at the top of the Norfolk League Division Seven. 

They beat Norwich and Coltishall Wanderers IV by 126 runs. Hethersett batted first and openers Tim Elverson (28) and Miles Kemp (31) got them off to a good start before a whirlwind unbeaten century from Tony Wenham saw the team up their scoring rate to more than a run a ball. Wenham hit 10 fours and four sixes in 101 to lead his side to 274-7 from their 45 overs. He was well supported by  the other batsmen with Dean Parfitt scoring 31 and all the others getting into double figures. 

Norwich had no real answers and never approached the necessary run rate, scoring a poor 148-6 from their 45 overs with Russell Cooper taking 2-36, Steve Beck 3-20 and Geoff Chappell 1-44.

Hethersett and Tas Valley III also continued their promotion push with an exciting one wicket victory over Garboldisham. 

Garboldisham won the toss and elected to bat and struggled to 124 all out after 33.1 overs with Alex Reeder taking 4-45, Dale Clarke 2-20, Shaun Barker 2-20 and Daniel Whitworth 2-32. 

The Hethersett reply was built on solid contributions from Jack Smith (28), Barker (20) and Joe Brett (26) as they edged towards the relatively modest total in a low scoring game. Wickets tumbled, however, and it was left to the last wicket pairing of Al Watts and Daniel Whitworth to see them home to 125-9 from 31.3 overs. 

 

Hethersett and Tas Valley beat Cringleford Lodge by 219 runs in Knights Norfolk League Division Two.

Hethersett and Tas Valley’s Matt Ellis hit a century on Sunday against Worstead in the Mid Norfolk League second division and still ended up on the losing side as his team fell to a rare defeat. 

Hethersett won the toss and elected to bat and scored a useful 207-8 at more than five runs an over. Ellis led the way with a fine 112 and was supported by Tim Shelley (30), Jack Smith (13) and William Reeves (12). 

Worstead stayed up with the run rate and 92 from opener C. Beeden helped them to reach their target with 208-4 with 4.2 overs remaining. Pick of the Hethersett bowlers was Nick Burrett with 3-39. 

Hethersett will be hoping to return to winning ways on Sunday when they are home to Beccles. 

Hethersett and Tas Valley lost to Worstead by six wickets in the Mid Norfolk League Division Two.

Hethersett and Tas Valley lost their unbeaten Norfolk League Division Two record when they were pipped at the post by fellow promotion hopefuls Rollesby in a dramatic last over finish. 

It was a disappointing league Saturday for the club with the seconds also losing – by eight runs to Tacolneston - and the thirds seeing their promotion chances severely hit by defeat at the hands of Hardingham II. 

The firsts are still on target to win the league despite Saturday’s defeat at the hands of second placed Rollesby in a high scoring match on a flat track at Flordon. 

Hethersett won the toss and elected to bat. It soon became apparent that they would need a score of over 200 to put pressure on Rollesby. With openers Adamson and Richard Ellis falling cheaply it looked as if this might be a hopeful target. 

Tim Shelley and Matt Ellis then began to build a solid if cautious partnership with Ellis more subdued than in previous weeks. When Shelley fell for 30 to an excellent catch, the Hethersett innings began to falter and runs dried up dramatically. 

Some late attacking by Nick Burrett (32) and Dave Hobart (30) saw the home team to 210-8 from their 45 overs with Matt Ellis again top scoring with 76. 

Rollesby lost two quick wickets but paced themselves well throughout the innings to stay within striking distance. The usually reliable Hethersett bowlers struggled to cut the Rollesby run rate down and the visitors reached their target with four balls remaining and three wickets in hand. 

The team still need just 13 points from their two remaining fixtures to take the Division Two title. They round off their campaign with a visit to Shipdham this Saturday and then a home game against Diss A on 25th August. 

Hethersett and Tas Valley Seconds stay on top of Division Seven despite suffering an eight run defeat at the hands of Tacolneston. 

Hethersett won the toss and put Tacolneston into bat. C. Cook led the way with 80 in a total of 187-5 from their 45 overs. Geoff Chappell was the most successful Hethersett bowler with 2-23. 

In response, Hethersett could only make 179-9 despite a half century from Tristan Hunt and good knocks from Rob Mitchell (34) and Steve Beck (36). 

The team’s final two league matches are home to Felthorpe this week and away at Bungay A on 25th August.

The third team’s chances of gaining promotion from Division 10 took a battering when they lost to Hardingham Seconds by 12 runs. 

Hardingham batted first and openers Plunkett (57) and Sheehan (48) gave them an excellent start on their way to 214-9 from their 45 overs. Alex Reeder with 3-61 was the pick of the Hethersett bowlers. 

In reply Hethersett and Tas Valley lost wickets cheaply until Tom Brandon Street (26) and Jack Smith (64) stopped the rot. A late rally from Alex Reeder (27 not out) failed to get Hethersett up to the required run rate as they finished on 202-9. 

Hethersett and Tas Valley lost to Rollesby by three wickets in the Knights Norfolk League Division Two.

Hethersett and Tas Valley’s Sunday side are on course for a league and cup double after reaching the final of the Broke Cup with an impressive 10 wicket victory over Terrington St Clement in the semi-finals. 

A brilliant century from Tim Shelley in an unbeaten first wicket partnership of 173 with Richard Ellis saw Hethersett reach their required total with almost 10 overs remaining. 

Terrington won the toss and elected to bat and reached 170-5 from their 40 overs with Vic Young remaining unbeaten on 92. Tony Wenham took 2-29. 

In reply, Richard Ellis played the anchor role with an unbeaten 43 as Shelley hammered 121 not out to lead his side to 173-0 from just 30.1 overs. 

This Sunday Hethersett return to league action with a visit to Dereham in the Mid Norfolk Sunday League Division Two with promotion still very much a possibility.

Hethersett and Tas Valley are celebrating a Norfolk League championship and a promotion double. 

The first team made sure of the Division Two title with a nailbiting win at Shipdham and the second team ensured promotion from Division Seven with a comfortable five wicket victory at home to Felthorpe. 

The firsts came up against a strong Shipdham side and for the third consecutive week their match went to the last over. With Shipdham needing seven runs for victory, skipper Matt Ellis kept his nerve to concede just five  runs as Shipdham ended on 197-4 to give Hethersett an unassailable lead at the top of the division with just a home game against Diss Seconds to come this weekend. 

Hethersett batted first and, for the second week running, scored fewer runs than they would have liked. The Ellis brothers were once again in sparkling form with Richard Ellis Junior hitting and unbeaten 75 and brother Matt continuing his run machine exploits with 74. Dave Cosford weighed in with an unbeaten 20 at the end of the innings but the side were all out for 199. 

Thankfully it proved just sufficient as tight bowling by Cosford, Matt Ellis and the remainder of the team restricted Shipdham to 197-4 and the title was on its way to Hethersett. 

The seconds won the toss against Felthorpe and put the opposition in knowing that victory would give them promotion and keep their own title hopes alive. 

Felthorpe struggled to 121-9 from their 45 overs with only three batsmen making it into double figures. John Nash took 3-21 and Russell Cooper 3-41. 

Hethersett made short work of reaching their target in just 28.5 overs for the loss of five wickets. There were solid contributions from Dave Elverson (32), Tristan Hunt (18) and Dean Parfitt (21) before Steve Beck (13 not out) and youngster Jack Smith (20 not out) came together to guide the team to victory and promotion. 

A win in the second team’s final match of the season at Bungay A will see them take the Division Seven title and jump two divisions to compete in Division Five next season. 

Hethersett and Tas Valley Thirds had a disappointing 116 run deafeat at the hands of Lowestoft Thirds. Lowestoft batted first and hit 213-8 with Stewart Larter unbeaten on 91. Alex Reeder was the pick of the Hethersett bowlers with 3-32. In reply Hethersett were bowled out for 97 in 32.3 overs with Richard Ellis Senior top scoring with 30. 

This Saturday the thirds round off their league season with a home game against North Elmham.

August 28th

Hethersett and Tas Valley are double Norfolk League champions.

The first team has comfortably won Division Two, whilst the Seconds had a nailbiting final game of the season before learning that they have been crowned champions of Division Seven.

The firsts rounded off their season with a match against a Diss Seconds’ team augmented and strengthened by a number of first team players. The opposition needed victory to stand any chance of avoiding relegation, whilst Hethersett had the luxury of already having won the title.

Hethersett lost the toss and were put into bat in what turned out to be a low scoring affair on a slow wicket at Flordon.

Hethersett struggled from the start, losing opener Nick Burrett for a duck. A number of other batsmen fell cheaply with the mainstays of the innings being 35 from run machine Matt Ellis, 27 from hard-hitting Matt Steward and 17 from Phil Walmsley late in the innings.

Hethersett were all out for 140 in 42.1 overs and this scarcely looked likely to be enough against a strong Diss batting line-up.

The Hethersett bowlers had other ideas, however, and were in top form with Dave Cosford producing his best display of the season to take 5-28. He was well supported by leg spinner Asad Abbas with 3-27 as Diss collapsed to 104 all out to give Hethersett victory by 36 runs.

The seconds were well beaten at Bungay, but still managed to take the points necessary to pip their opponents for top spot in Division Seven by 0.21 points. Under the accelerated promotion scheme the seconds now move up to Division Five.

Hethersett batted first and were skittled out for just 62 with no batsman reaching double figures. Bungay found little dofficulty in reaching their target for the loss of just two wickets.

Hethersett and Tas Valley Thirds concluded their most successful season to date with a six run victory over North Elmham to give them fourth place in Division 10. With a number of excellent young players in the side, the future looks bright for the third team.

They lost the toss and were put into bat by North Elmham with Sam Smith hitting 26, Jack Smith 19, Al Watts 22 and Greg Lochhead 29 in a score of 132 all out in 28.3 overs.

North Elmham replied with just 126 in 30 overs with Dale Clarke taking 3-34 and Alex Reeder 3-26.
