Cricket: Eaton Bray win to secure league title

Posted on September 9, 2005

Last weekend saw the climax of another successful and exciting year of cricket in the Morrant Four Counties Cricket League, Eaton Bray pipping New Bradwell to the Division One title.

The leading batsmen, Old Bradwell's Stewart Phillipson, clocked up 1,000 runs in the season and Eaton Bray's Andy Norris took his 40th wicket to finish as the season's top wicket taker and all rounder.

In Division One it was Norris' efforts which ultimately helped Eaton Bray to clinch the title as they finished just five points clear of New Bradwell.

Bray (144-6) beat Old Bradwell (132) by 4 wickets Michael Jarrett taking 4-25 and Norris 3-30 in Bradwell's innings before knocking off the runs with fine knocks by Nick Pearson (45) and Dom Taylor (34 not out). Norris also scored 475 runs and was the division's top all rounder.
