A mixed week but plenty of cricket played across the club with a total of 10 games completed.
On Saturday the 1st team were at home to last seasons Thurlow Nunn East Anglian Premier League winners Swardeston the visitors won the toss and asked Bury to bat on a pitch where runs proved difficult all day. Bury went from 35 for the 1st wicket to 63.5 openers Alex Maynard and Nikethan Radhakrishan both scored 20 it was left to Max and Ben Whittaker to battle hard with a partnership of 41 runs Max was out for 23 and Ben 28 a feature of a good bowling and fielding display by the visitors was Lewis Denmark’s superb catch off Alex Levinson to dismiss Alistair Allchin. The final total of 135 was below par and short of what was required. Levinson taking 6.50. Swardeston had to battle for the win losing 6 wickets in the process Rufus Easdale taking 2.34 it was Denmark who opened and scored 23 not out off 81 deliveries that showed the way, it was a pitch that the ball was difficult to time several wickets being out being caught.
A welcome win the 2nd team away to Haverhill a superb start as James Sturgeon and James McKinney (91) put on 167 for the first wicket Sturgeon completed an excellent century (102) in 98 deliveries and good support from Cameron Ford (57) Alan Barker (26) and a welcome return for Sam Aldous scoring 21 off just 11 deliveries in a total of 339.8 off 45 overs. Ben Wilkins took 4.69 for the home team. A sensational start to the home innings as Joe Corder had two wickets before a run was scored the home side battled to 215.8 with Russell Davis making 70 and Paul O’Hara 39 not out very much Corder’s day with figures of 9.3.16.4 and Aldous taking 2.40.
A good win for the 3rd team the highlight being a hat-trick from Joel Johnson one plumb lbw and the other two bowled. Visitors Melton St Audry’s scored 119 Josh Bowyer top scoring with 33 two wickets each for Vivek Rajagopal, Tom Wright and Elliot Bonas Johnson had figures of 6.1.13.3.

Congratulations to the under 13s, who beat Chippenham on Sunday morning to make it through to the final of the Suffolk county cup. Batting first, in a low scoring game, Jack Ellis top scored with 25 in a total of 119 off 20 overs. Jack Lee took a wicket on the first ball of their innings, James Daly took 3-2 And we held them to 83–6 to win by 36 runs.
