Fakenham picked up their first victory since the second day of the season as they won by seven wickets at Bury St Edmunds.
Imran Ali starred with the ball, taking six for 43 as Bury failed to build on a solid start.
They fell from 103 for two to 171 all out, losing their last four wickets without the addition of a single run.
James Hill was dismissed early in the Fakenham reply, but Sanjaya Rodrigo and Michael Vandort steadied the nerves with a second wicket stand of 95.
Vandort made his first league half-century for Fakenham before departing for 60, but Rodrigo (62no) remained to steer Fakenham to victory in the 31st over.
Fakenham Beat Bury
Under 15s keep going
After a bit of a slow start Jacob Seed 11 was run out leaving Will Dunger 36 to keep the score ticking along Aaron Riseborough got stuck in front out LBW for 8.. Edwared Harvey batted well for 18.. Jake Pearce with a quick 17 and Elliott Buck did well for 18 not out and Ashley Jarvis added another 5* to bring the total up to a reasonable 135... Aaron Jarvis dismissed the opener N Hook for a duck...the other opener G Gragen 18 seemed to be going along nicely but was running out of partners and eventually mistimed a shot to Tan from Robert Steele's bowling..Asley Jarvis bowled very well as did Tan and Yin...Seedy seemed a little slow behind the stumps although still 3 stumpings and a catch from a chinese cut diving down leg... Overall we could have batted a little better but our Bowlers again were tremendous.
Under 17s Beat the Bears!
Fakenham Lancastrians beat the Bradenham Bears in the Bob Carter Junior Cup (under 17s) on Sunday in a 36 over match.... On a glorious sunny day at Bradenham, Fakenham batted first on a pitch which played well, the outfield had a bit too much grass on it so boundaries were not going to be easy. Aaron Spillett 0 and Jacob Seed 93* opened the batting Aaron unfortunatly chipped the first ball to square leg. Ryan Bird came to the crease and Seed and Bird did very well against the opening bowler B Stolworthy who was fast and accurate Ryan dismissed on 6... James Phillipson 9 battled well but found it difficult to score eventually bowled by Stolworthy.. Aaron Riseborough 10 helped to shift the pace along before hauling out..Capt Toby Hood tried to push the score along with quick singles but a good slower ball from Stolworthy undone him.. Terance Bird 30* then batted very well to push the score to 176...(ok now for the unbiased stuff from a Dad!!!) Jacob held the innings together scoring consistantly well throughout his innings particularly against the good bowling of Stolworthy... boundaries were not easy but he managed 11 fours in his innings of 93*. Great Batting and a proud Father!!
When Fakenham took to the field Toby Hood was magnificent in his captaincy... good encouragement and control of the side ...good change of bowling got wickets... oh and he bowled well also...oh and two catches..Tanveer Singh Bowled well again getting the opener out... Terance Bird was on fire with good aggresive bowling taking 3 wickets for 8 in 4 overs.. supported well by his brother Ben who although did not take a wicket bowled 3 overs for 15... Aaron Riseborough also contributed with 4 overs for 16.... Yin Lo 4.2 overs 13 for 1 .... Hoody made a good change of bowling bringing on Luke Corwall who dismissed B Stolworthy 45 with is first ball which took the inside edge and Jacob took the catch low down by his feet. Luke Bowled only bowled 2 overs but took 3 wickets...sharp fielding at the end resulted in a last wicket run out... great team performance!
