Bury St Edmunds visited Great Witchingham on Saturday won the toss and invited the home side to bat which looked a good choice as the Bury bowlers made regular inroads into the home batsman Sean Cooper taking 3 wickets in an outstanding bowling spell of 18.4.35.3 he was well supported by Daniel Moriarty who bowled 18.7.32.2 the 6th wicket was taken by Josh Cantrell and at 98.6 Bury were in a good position but Norfolk batsman Sam Arthurton opened the batting and having survived one chance played exceptionally well finishing not out on 110, he was well supported by Peter Trewick who scored 81 off just 90 balls as Bury wilted in the field, Sean Park took the 7th wicket but 243.7 was a disappointing outcome given the early domination. Bury’s reply got off to the worst possible start as Hugh Stanton was run out in the first over. Alfie Marston played with great aggression taking the score to 54 before being bowled having made 36 off 38 balls that included a 6 and 6 x 4.

Ben Seabrook was out for 4 from an excellent delivery a further blow was losing the wicket of Josh Cantrell who had batted well for 18 at the point of tea.

Max Whittaker was out soon after tea and Justin Broad who had batted from the start was out for 48 on 118.6 gradually Daniel Moriarty and Sean Park rebuilt the innings Moriarty being out not long before the close for 17 off 68 deliveries leaving Sean Park to score 39 not out with Alistair Allchin 4 not out a draw was a fair result.
