Luke Findlay applauded for his unbeaten century.
Fakenham maintained their winning start on their return to the Norfolk Alliance Premier Division as they picked up maximum points at Stow.
Skipper Ben Harvey hit 95 in a commanding total of 257 for five for the visitors before South African Rudi Hillermann took four for 25 to complete a 110-run victory, despite Tom High’s 57 for Stow.
Harvey said the side was looking forward to playing their first home Alliance match of the season at Highfield Lawn, writes John Cushion. On Saturday, Diss are the visitors.
New players Hillerman and James Moy have yet to experience the league support which has become a club hallmark. “They are looking forward to sampling the support we get for our home games. I’m hoping a big crowd turns up,” said Harvey.
Of the Stow game, on a personal note he said: “It’s always disappointing to miss out on three figures, but if you had told me before the game I would score 95, I would have taken that.”
He was again delighted to have shared a big opening partnership, 120, with Keegan Monahan-Fairlee (46). “Keegs is in really good form,” said Harvey.
Of importance was Phil Gray’s innings of 37. “He came in at a vital time when it was important not to lose another wicket quickly. He played cautiously but punished the loose ball.”
Hillerman mopped up the last four wickets as Stow began the last six overs with six wickets down. “He had worked hard in the nets to get a better length. He has worked very hard at building up his game,” said his skipper.
Fakenham A drew their home Alliance Division Two game with Garboldisham as both sides scored 236.
Luke Findlay made 105no including ten fours and one six, which brought up his century.
Brian Whitwood made 30 and Will Dunger 35 for Fakenham, who also saw a fine bowling display from Lloyd Marshall (four for 38). Danny Cash (68) and Chris Wright (60) were Garboldisham’s star performers.
On Saturday, Fakenham A visit Hethersett & Tas Valley.

Fakenham back on Alliance road

3:37 PM
Fakenham re-start their Norfolk Alliance Premier Division schedule on Saturday after a weekend without a game because of the uneven number of teams in the section.
They visit Stow, who have lost both their opening matches, Fakenham are sitting sixth on 23 points from their opening win, the teams above them all having played twice. Diss are setting the pace with 42 points, followed by Sprowston (38), writes John Cushion.
Fakenham’s Alliance Division Two side opened their campaign with a winning draw at Hillington.
Fakenham made 196 for five with Luke Findlay, who missed most of last season through an injury, making 73 in an opening stand of 59 with Brian Whitwood.
James Moy, who has been recruited from Sheringham, went in during the 39th over of 46 and gave the innings impetus with an unbeaten 36.
Hillington were 13 for five after 11 overs following the opening spell by Will Dunger, who eventually returned 12-7-19-3, and Ian Slegg (9-3-16-4). Moy impressed with 8-3-19-0.
Hillington finished on 129 for nine, Fakenham having four overs at the last pair, who played them out well.
On Saturday, Fakenham A are at home to Garboldisham, 1pm start.
In the West Norfolk League, Fakenham’s Division Two side made 171 against Narborough (193 for eight), and the Division Four team made 123 for five to Necton’s 72 for three.
On Sunday, Fakenham beat Mundford after making 286 for seven then bowling out their opponents for 56.
South African Rudi Hillerman made 74, Ryan Simmons 40, Stephen Gray 50 and Will Dunger 55 not out. Rob Savory claimed four Mundford wickets for 19 runs.
Fakenham’s Sunday second team made it two wins out of two with an impressive five-wicket win at home to Mundford B.
Mundford posted a respectable 178 for seven off theire 40 overs with Luke Cornwall being the pick of the Fakenham bowlers with three wickets. There were also wickets for Jonny Sadler, Billy Yarham and Bruce Bushell.
The Fakenham innings got off to a poor start with three wickets going down in the 20s, but a fourth-wicket stand between Bruce Bushell an Ralph Burton started to get Fakenham back in the match.
With senior player Bushell holding the innings together, Fakenham’s young players Billy Yarham and Tom Hill both played excellent knocks which saw Fakenham pass the Munford total with seven deliveries to spare as Hill flicked a ball off his legs over the square-leg boundary for six to win the match.
Bruce Bushell finshed on 73 not out in an impressive performance by this young Fakenham side.
Fakenham off to a winning start
Thursday, April 28, 2011
Fakenham’s new captain Ben Harvey was very pleased with his side’s win on its return to the Frankly Digital Norfolk Alliance. They recorded a six-wicket Premier Division victory at Norwich & Coltishall Wanderers in a good all-round performance, writes John Cushion.
As Fakenham chased the home side’s total of 217 for nine, Harvey (75) and Keegan Monahan-Fairlee (74) enjoyed an opening stand of 165.
“We bowled and fielded well,” said Harvey. “Norwich got off to a good start with Ali Ponder playing some good shots. But we pegged them back.”
He thought Ian Slegg bowled “fantastically well” for his 4-30 off 13 overs bowled straight through without a rest. Toby Hood gave a very confident performance for an 18-year-old with his 1-30 off seven overs, Matthew Burton bowled well for his 2-34 off 11 and South African Rudi Hillerman claimed 2-40.
He arrived in Fakenham on Tuesday after visa problem delays. “It was nice for him to get his arm turning over off a full run. He was pleased to have got his first game out of the way,” said Harvey.
Of his knock, the Fakenham skipper admitted: “It’s always enjoyable to have a long bat. Keegan had been in great form in the friendlies and we had a lot of confidence in him.
“For me, it’s always nice to get the ball rolling well, especially as it was my first game as captain. We put on 165 and were both disappointed not to have seen it all the way through.” Fakenham won with 221 for four.
That gave Fakenham 23 points to N&CW’s six.
Other Premier Division games: Stow 129 (4pts), North Runcton 133-7 (21); Lowestoft Town 121 (2), Sprowston 122-4 (20); Diss 167-7 (22), Downham Town 133 (4); Brooke 299-7 (25), Vauxhall Mallards A 146 94).
Frustratingly, there is no first team fixture for Fakenham on Saturday because of the odd number of teams in the section. There is a home friendly with a touring side at Highfield Lawn, however.
The Alliance Division Two side starts its season at Hillington.
Fakenham ready for Alliance challenge
New Fakenham captain Ben Harvey insists his team will be taking no-one lightly after dropping down into the Norfolk Alliance, writes Phil Banyard
Fakenham were relegated from the East Anglian Premier League on a heartbreaking final day last season, but have regrouped and are looking forward to their Alliance Premier Division opener at Norwich & Coltishall Wanderers this Saturday.
Harvey said: “Everybody is very excited about the new challenge. We’re an ambitious club and we were disappointed with what happened last year, but we showed that we can win big games.
“We won the Carter Cup last year and you don’t do that through a fluke.”
Fakenham will be hoping to challenge the dominance of Downham, who have won the Premier Division title for four successive seasons, but have continually passed over the opportunity to move up to the EAPL.
Harvey added: “Downham are a very good side, you don’t win the league four years in a row without being a good side, but there are other good teams in the league as well. “We played Norwich & Coltishall Wanderers in the Carter Cup last year so we know about them and we won’t be taking anyone lightly because we understand that teams will be out to beat both us and Downham.”
Fakenham have recruited South African seam bowling all-rounder Rudi Hillermann as their overseas player.
The 25-year-old plays for KwaZulu Natal Inland in his home country and has 52 first class wickets, as well as a healthy batting average of 27.71.
Left-arm spinner James Moy has joined from Sheringham, although opening bowler Angus Stuart has returned to Downham. Former captain Sean Cooper should be available, while Kevin Gray has been installed as first team manager.
Harvey does not believe that the pressure of being one of the favourites to challenge Downham will be a burden for his side: “We have to try and revel in that pressure,” he said.
“Ultimately we are amateur cricketers and yes, there is pressure, but it’s not something we’ll be thinking about. We just need to think about playing some good cricket and having some fun.”
Fakenham under 13’s Double Winners
Following their success in the County 20/20, Fakenham under 13’s have now added the County pair’s title to their portfolio.
The final was played at the Swardeston Hilltops ground against Horsford.
Horsford won the toss and surprisingly decided to bat on a damp track. The first pair batted well and put on 36 losing 1 wicket to opening bowlers Harry B and Lloyd. The second and third pairs were blown apart by a sensational spell by Charlie. He took 6 wickets in his 4 overs for just 4 runs. He was backed up by Jack T ( 1 wicket ) and Jack B ( 3 Wickets ). The fielding was first class and Fakenham held all the catches Horsford gave. Harrison, Billy and Thomas all bowled well and at the end of Horsfords innings they had been restricted to 204.
Fakenham just had to bat sensibly to win. They did this with style and class. Everyone contributed to the 283 total which gave them a 79 run win.
Man of the Match was deservedly Charlie for his fantastic bowling figures.
Well done to all the team on the day and to all the players that have played in the league games through the season.
It has been a fantastic season for the Under 13’s and it’s been a pleasure to be their Manager.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the players for making my position enjoyable and to all the parents for their support and flexibility when it came to all the fixtures we played.

Fakenham's Carter Cup wait is over
Fakenham won the Carter Cup for the first time yesterday as they defeated Horsford by 16 runs in a tense encounter at Manor Park.
Phil Gray produced a man-of-the-match 55 to elevate his team to 177 in the first innings, before Sanjaya Rodrigo (4-38) helped ensure that Chris Brown's hard-working 51 was in a losing cause for Horsford.
After winning the toss and deciding to bat, Fakenham started on the back foot. Caswell - who bowled with excellent lines throughout - deservedly had Sean Cooper caught behind in the sixth over and the next wicket wasn't far away.
Rodrigo was trapped lbw by Caswell, before Stephen Gray (1) nicked behind off the same bowler. Gayan Wijekoon was looking dangerous, but on 15 his thick edge off Nathan Perry-Warnes was caught well in the gully by Matthew Wilkinson. Harvey (8) soon followed as Caswell claimed his fourth victim to leave Fakenham struggling on 44-5. Joe Pipkin and Phil Gray negotiated the spin of Chris Brown and Ryan Findlay though and managed to make it to lunch with the sixth wicket intact.
After the break, they batted positively before Pipkin was stumped in the 44th over as he attempted to get after Findlay. Dunger (1) then fell to Brown as Fakenham looked to be struggling again on 135-7.
Knowing he had to up the rate, Phil Gray's knock then came to an end as he attempted to hit Wilkinson off his consistent line at the death. Piper (14) pushed the score on before Perry-Warnes claimed the final two wickets as Fakenham were dismissed for 176.
In reply, Horsford had Warnes (0) trapped lbw by Wijekoon in the third over. This brought Sabburg to the crease and he and Perry-Warnes looked to up the tempo with positive stroke play.
In a great spell for Fakenham, the crucial wicket of Sabburg was claimed by Angus Stuart before Atkinson (1) was the victim of a superb diving catch in the slips from Rodrigo and Perry-Warnes (15) lofted a shot to Cooper at mid on.
Wilkinson (0) soon followed, bringing skipper Brown to the crease. Both he and Caswell fought hard to rebuild the innings, reaching tea on 68-5. Runs were hard to come by though and Caswell eventually fell to the spin of Rodrigo for 22 as he looked to increase the rate.
Horsford's hopes then rested on Brown - who was struggling with a hand injury - but despite the occasional boundary he couldn't get on top of the impressive attack.
Matt Spencely (12) offered support before holing out off Rodrigo. Then, with Horsford requiring a run a ball from 10 overs, Brown was forced to retire hurt.
When Brown returned after the stumping of Smith (10) he was left with too much to do and was bowled by Stuart in the final over with his team 17 runs short.
It was a fantastic effort by Fakenham to win the game after the poor start they made with the bat and skipper Sean Cooper was happy for his team. He said: “It's a great time for the best bowling and fielding performance of the season. I think there are going to be quite a few beers consumed.”

Fakenham U13’s County Champions
Fakenham U13’s played Diss U13’s in the final of the County 20/20 Cup.
Fakenham batted first and got off to a slow but steady start. The Diss bowlers struggled with their line and gave away a number of wides. Billy and Jack B remained patient and then pushed on well. Jack B reached his 30 and retired with Billy making 18 before being caught. Jack T (17) and Thomas (7) came in and played positively and kept the scoreboard moving. Lloyd (17) and Harrison (23) managed to push the score on to 145 with some excellent shots. A huge 6 from Lloyd got the large crowd up out of their seats.
In reply Diss looked to be positive but a fired up Fakenham kept it tight in the field with Lloyd and Charlie opening up with good spells. Lloyd got the breakthrough before Thomas came on and in his 4 over spell took 2 wickets for 6 runs. Backed up with good overs from Harry B, Billy and Emily, Fakenham took control. Behind the stumps Tommo did a great job, throwing himself around and as always full of energy. Diss batsman T Davey batted well and reached his 30 with L Fairweather making a good 28 before being bowled by
Team :-
Billy, Thomas, Harrison, Lloyd, Emily, Jack B, Liam, Jack T, Harry, Charlie, Tommo.

Fakenham continue to improve
Fakenham continued to improve with a draw at title contenders Saffron Walden, but they were once again left to rue their inability to turn dominance into victory.
Gayan Wijekoon top scored with 61 from 113 balls as Fakenham posted 201 for nine. Fakenham then seized control by dismissing former England Test opener Jason Gallian and Essex starlet Tom Westley cheaply as the hosts slumped to 29 for three.
The ever-reliable Giles Ecclestone (55) guided his side out of trouble, but after he was dismissed Walden seemed set to fold as they were reduced to 163 for nine. Last man Darren Cousins defied the Fakenham attack for 16 balls, however as the hosts managed to bat out for a draw.
Keegan De Ridder blasted 137no for Fakenham A, but Matt Thomas replied with 68 as Saham Toney gained a 90pc losing draw.
3rd XI last wicket heroics
Last wicket pair Stuart Broughton (32no) and Colin Brassett (24no) saw Fakenham A to an unlikely one-wicket win at home to Holt. Fakenham's M Wall took four for 37, but Michael Curtis responded with four for 39 to leave the hosts nine wickets down and well short of their target before the last pair's heroics.
Fakenham under 13s Triumph
Fakenham U13’s travelled to Vauxhall Mallards for the County Semi Final of the MCC Spirit of Cricket Competition. Fakenham won the toss and decided to bowl first. The opening batsmen for Mallards did a good job keeping out the pace of Lloyd and accuracy of Charlie. The Fakenham bowlers struggled to get to grips with the slope of the pitch. Tom N then came on and got the breakthrough and Billy followed with a wicket which led to the Fakenham bowlers getting on top. J Robb and R Goldsmith batted well to their 30 and retired. Lloyd came back on for the final over and took a magnificent hat-trick. Fakenham looked good in the field and kept Mallards to 105 in there 20 overs. In Reply Fakenham lost Thomas and Jack B for 12 & 9. Solid performances by Billy 34 ret, Lloyd 22 not out and Harrison 13 not out saw Fakenham home with ease during the 14th over. Well done to the Team on a great performance.

Seed thrives at Manor Park
Stephen Gray(55) and Jacob Seed (51no) both hit half-centuries after Fakenham were put into bat, helping their side reach a challenging total of 194 for seven. Paul Newman was Acle's best bowler, taking four for 26 from his four overs.
Acle were then restricted to 131 for nine from their 20 overs, with Rob Porter (23) and Geoff Handley (24) their top scorers.
The next match is on Tuesday, when Norwich play Brooke.
Current standings: Group A - Brooke played 2, points 2; Horsford 1,0; Vauxhall Mallards 2,2; Norwich 1,2.
Group B - Acle 2,0; Fakenham 2,2; Great Witchingham 1,2; Swardeston 1,2.
Fakenham cricketers find a winning formula

| Fakenham's Ian Slegg holds onto a slip catch in the Alliance win over North Runcton. |
20 May 2010
Fakenham Cricket Club's scene came to life on Saturday with four wins, at East Anglian Premier League, Norfolk Alliance and West Norfolk League levels.
Fakenham moved off the bottom of the EAPL with their first win of the season, a six-wicket triumph at Clacton, Sri Lankan Gayan Wijekoon stepping off a plane on Friday to make an immediate impact.
Angus Stuart and Wijekoon gave Fakenham the perfect start after skipper Sean Cooper had won the toss as they tore through the Clacton top order, leaving them 31 for six. The hosts limped to 80 all out in the 39th over, Stuart claiming four for 12, Wijekoon three for 15, Cooper two for 11 and Sanjaya Rodrigo one for nought.
Fakenham also suffered a nightmare start, losing James Hill and James Brown, both without scoring. But Wijekoon (37) joined forces with Rodrigo (27) and their stand of 58 proved decisive as Fakenham won in the 24th over.
At Highfield Lawn, Fakenham's Alliance Division Two side had an impressive nine-wicket win over North Runcton A, who batted first an made only 96. The wickets were well shared between A King two for 20, T Hood two for 27, I Slegg two for nine, K de Ridder two for 17 and R Savoury one for 16. Fakenham cruised to 98 for one (P Dunger 17, B Whitwood 37no, de Ridder 37no).
Skipper Paul Dunger was pleased for Savoury and Hood who he described as young players typical of the future of the club. “Both have worked very hard. It shows what constant hard work and training can achieve.”
In West Norfolk League Division Two, Fakenham (64 for one) easily beat a depleted Sheringham (59) while the Division Four team (116 for six) won at Northwold (115) with Yin Lo taking four for 10.
There was some big hitting from Will Dunger for Fakenham U15 in their Andy Seeley U15 Trophy win over Mattishall.
He cracked 164 no in the 20-over-a-side match out of 207 for four. He did not offer a chance getting to his century, completed in the 13th over, then saw two catches dropped as he really started to hit out. He has just turned 15, and the side containing six under-13s.
Team manager Paul Dunger, said of his son Will: “His very mature innings showed the benefit of regular nets with adults and reflected the standards at which he has been playing and watching cricket.”
Brisk Bushell puts Suffolk to sword
Norfolk Over-50s enjoyed a five-wicket triumph against local rivals Suffolk at Halvergate. Suffolk won the toss and batted, but were undone by the pace of Keith Bushell (four for 24), while spinner Andy King took three for 16 and Ian Bix claimed two wickets as the visitors were all out for 118.
Norfolk lost five wickets in pursuit of that target, but Martin Pearse (42) and Dickie Sayers (20) helped them achieve victory in the 33rd over.
Fakenham move off the bottom
Fakenham moved off the bottom with their first win of the season, a six-wicket triumph at Clacton.
Angus Stuart and Gayan Wijekoon gave Fakenham the perfect start as they tore through the Clacton top order, leaving them 31 for six.
The hosts limped to 80 all out in the 39th over before Fakenham also suffered a nightmare start, losing James Hill and James Brown, both without scoring.
But Wijekoon (37) joined forces with Sanjaya Rodrigo (27) and their stand of 58 proved decisive as Fakenham won in the 24th over.
Fakenham miss key players on first day
28 April 2010
Fakenham, under-strength for their opening East Anglian Premier League match of the season, suffered a disappointing home defeat by Saffron Walden.
Batting first, Fakenham failed to reach three figures as they were bundled out for 95 after being asked to bat on a strip that produced early movement.
The visitors' bowling attack was too much to cope with as Darren Cousins claimed five for 44 and Tim Smith was in miserly form taking three for four from nine overs with seven maidens. Phil Gray made 22, Sanjaya Rodrigo 21 and Will Dunger 15.
Fakenham tried gamely to make it difficult for Saffron Walden with the ball as former Norfolk bowler Ian Slegg picked up three for 12 bowling off his shortened run-up.
But the Essex side made it over the line for the loss of five wickets with opener Tom George hitting 36 not out as the visitors collected 25 points to Fakenham's two.
After their failure to sign Indika de Saram, Fakenham have recruited another Sri Lankan Test player, Gayan Wijekoon, as their overseas star and skipper Sean Cooper has high hopes for the new arrival: “We'd like him to consolidate our side with the experience he has as a bowler and a batsman,” said Cooper.
“He's an all-rounder who can coach both aspects of the game and help the youngsters develop and that is crucial for us.”
If he manages to beat the volcano dust problem, he should arrive in this country today (Thursday).
Fakenham showed a marked improvement last year upon the two previous campaigns, when they had finished rock bottom, and their second team also celebrated winning Norfolk Alliance Division Three.
Cooper added: “We are really looking forward to this season after the success the club had as a whole last year. All four senior sides had good seasons.”
Wicketkeeper Ben Harvey has returned from Great Witchingham, but Cooper will have to make do with a depleted side for the early part of the summer, with a string of his young players away at university and others suffering injuries.
Harvey will miss the early games, along with Joe Pipkin and Daniel Hubbard, while James Brown will not return from a new job in Amsterdam until later in the summer.
Norfolk wicketkeeper Stephen Gray should be available despite his studies and Fakenham are also looking forward to seeing more wickets from Angus Stuart, whose debut season at the club last year was hampered by injury. New signing from Horsford Luke Findlay could be out long term with a knee injury.
Everyone should be more availble next year, the third of the club's
three-year plan to build a title-challenging side.
On Saturday, Fakenham visit Bury St Edmunds. The Alliance Division Two side entertains Saxlingham 1pm.
Under 15s lose in Semi final
Fakenham under 15s lost in the semi final against Great Melton on Monday...after winning the toss and putting Gt Melton in to bat.. it soon became apparent that they had some good batsmen! Fakenham fielders were soon on the defensive against some big hitting from V Sharma 86* and J Wilson 45...ironically after some poor fielding in previous games Fakenham threw themselves about in the field...unfortunatley our bowlers struggled against some good batting from Gt Melton.... it did not help that Wills could not bowl due to an injury. The only wicket we manaaged to take was a run out...Still with a total of 160 on a pitch with short boundaries we thought the the target was achievable. However after losing quick early wickets Wills was left with too much to do on his own but battled through with a creditable 32... Great Melton knew they had the game in the bag and gave some of their other lesser players a bowl...adding a little insult to injury! However....and here comes my gripe! mentioning no names! I overheard comments from (spectators) regarding the game...and the way it was played...These lads have been exeptional this season and reaching the semi final was a great achievement...all players have given their all... and I am very proud of each and every one of them....as manager i try to pick the best side i can...and if i have to use players from other age groups to fill in ... i pick on ability..but also on dedication and enthusiasm...
I would like to thank Steve Earl and Johny Sadler for their invaluable contribution and support this season.
Under15s in Semi Final
After winning the toss and putting Sheringham into bat... Fakenham opened the bowling with a combination of Pace and spin... A good bouncy pitch caused problems from the start... with Will Dunger bowling short of a length found good lines... and took the wicket of H Blakiston hit in front on the full...Yin Lo Bowled well keeping the score down... boudaries were hard to come by on a wet outfield.. Ashley Jarvis took a great caught and bowled to dismiss F Sutton... O Sutton batted well until run out from a throw from Thomas Hill and Seedy removed the bails (and a stump) P Sheridan was also batting well until he was caught by Will Dunger off of Aaron Jarvis...Seedy claimed another stumping from the bowling of Ashley Jarvis.. taking his tally to 11 stumpings for the season. Fakenham did well to limit Sheringham to 102.
After a cautious start, Fakenham scored steadily...Jacob caught in the covers from a full toss...Aarron Riseborough unfortunaltley dismissed for a duck... but this brought Aaron Jarvis to the crease knocking a quick fire 16...until bowled by F Sutton...Brother Ashley Jarvis steadied the ship and some hard hitting from Wills saw Fakenham home with 2.3 overs remaining....Sheringham Leaked 25 extras... and Fakenham only 6... certainly made a differnce.... Fakenham will be at Home to Great Melton for the semi final on either Mon 3rd or Tues 4th August
Under 15s Qualify!!
Under 15s qualify for the quarter finals after beating Dereham in the last game of the group stage.. after winning the toss and putting them in to bat... our bowlers restricted Dereham to just 77... tight bowling from the spinners made runs difficult to come by...desperation for runs the batsman attempted to come down the wicket which resulted in 2 stumpings from Seedy....Harrison Futter bowled very well, 4 overs for just 9 runs (8 of which were in one over)... Jacob Seed got out early as did Aaron Riseborough but Will Dunger 37* and Aaron Jarvis 27* batted well and reached the target with 6.2 overs to spare
Fakenham Beat Bury
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.
