Report
North Elmham travelled to the picturesque setting of Ketteringham Hall to take on the hosts "A" team. Returning skipper Chris Palmer won the toss and had no hessitation in batting first. Ant Keeble was out early but Grant King and Stephan Malherbe progressed the score to 86 in the 18th over before Malherbe was bowled for 44. King was joined by Palmer and with so much time left the skipper was able to play himself in whilst King was severe on anything off line reaching his fifty from 63 balls. At the half way point the score was 135. The partnership flourished with King hitting the ball to all parts as the host bowlers wilted in the heat. King reached his century from 108 balls and shortly afterwards Palmer passed fifty from 62 balls.

On a blustery day North Elmham entertained a young Horsford 'C' in Division 6 of the Norfolk League. After winning the toss Elmham, on this occasion led by Vice Captain Stephan Malherbe, decided to bat on a good looking dryish wicket, which after the rain during the week would hopefully not prove as unpredictable in bounce as the wickets of the last few weeks. Runs came steadily from openers Malherbe and Keeble, the bounce of the pitch was proving a little low and and it was also a slowish into the bargain so care was needed. Keeble was the first to fall caught off the bowling of Da Silve for 20 with the score on 36. Grant King came in to join Malherbe and some steady batting, just punishing errant deliveries, saw the score advance to 79 before Malherbe was caught behind off an excellent swinging ball that moved even further off the seam from the bowling of Collinson for 34. King carried on scoring well the pattern being singles to keep the score ticking over or bad balls punished to the boundary. It has to be said that Horsford
