An
extensive history of cricket in Hethersett under the title
"Merely Cricket" - A Brief History of Hethersett
Cricket Club, Norfolk, was published in 1996.
It covered the period from 1860
to 1996 and was written jointly by A.J.R Harris and H.J.B
Kerslake.
I am very grateful to Harold
Kerslake for permission to feature a potted version of this
history on this site. Cricket has always been dear to my heart
and even in the hustle and bustle of the 21st century it seems
to have a strangely calming effect. Apart from that I number
myself as a very small part of the club's history having made up
the numbers during a few seasons and also helping for a time to
coach the youth team. Today my son Matt plays for the first team
and seems to have caught the cricket bug off me.
Being quite an extensive document
the history will
take some time to transcribe, so please be patient and follow
the links below as they become active.
