Proud of our heroic cross-club squad for making it this far & thanks to NCC for organising. Congrats to @BradfieldCC1885 who just about eased past us (cough) in the semi final, and good luck to @GreatMeltonCC in the nationals next year.

Massive congratulations from all of us to Barbie Howell, awarded the MBE in the King's New Year's honours list for her services to fostering. Club Safeguarding Officer, tea supremo and administrative rock on the youth cricket front - congratulations!
Of the facilities constructed during August, @BirchamCricket in Norfolk had the distinction of being the first club in the country to have a Hawkeye / ball tracker lane installed within their facility.

On a cold, wet October day we look back at a project in the sun at @NorfolkCB club @BirchamCricket and a first of its kind in the country.
The twin lane practice facility features ECB Approved DSi-pro pitches, complete with a ball tracking feature in lane 2

Final Church Lane tea of the season, with a 30-over bash against Notts tourists Caunton CC on Saturday. Well done to the visitors for Friday night's heroic support of the Norfolk hospitality sector @crowninnrudham - hoping all survived the rest of the tour.
Thanks to @NorfolkCB and @ECB_cricket for arranging to install a period dignity dispenser in the clubhouse at Church Lane - really appreciated by the club and village. #wegotgame
Thanks once more to @Farmerfredsbarn for sponsoring women's cricket at Bircham this year - again, this is massively appreciated. And to Big Jim our regular scorer, and Barb for co-ordinating BBQ and cakes
That's a wrap for the ladies with a win over @GrimstonCC in yesterday's hardball T20. Set a target of 137, Grimmo teetered as Hannah Fletcher bowled their most experienced pair with the 1st 2 balls of the innings. Great recovery by Lauren & Crystal to take the visitors to 95.
@jonnycanary@DownhamStowCC It's because other div 4 league has one fewer team, so rules say our results against the bottom team in our div are disregarded. That bit had passed us by a little when we turned up to Saham all pumped up for a crucial decider & literally everything went our way! But fair enough.
Congrats to @NorthRunctonCC Ladies on a great performance last night - a wicket off the very last ball ended our ladies' 100% hard ball record (2 matches). Off to work on our running between the wickets before the next match... #shocker
@jonnycanary@DownhamStowCC Oops none of us quite read the rules properly so looks like you're flying the flag up there on your own - good luck though and all the best!
Away at @SahamToneyCC in the crucial promotion decider, fitting that the youngsters did it for us. Ed Marsh 5-2-6-2; Osca Davies 8-2-22-3 before hitting the winning runs in 43.n.o.
At home, the firsts wrapped up early against @MattishallCC , aided by a scintillating 1 n.o. by Tom King. 4-28 for Tom Hill, with Finn Karsten 29 n.o. at the end - delighted to see the new boys finish on a high.
Congrats to @HorsfordCC 2s and @DownhamStowCC 4s, who very deservedly head up with us. And a word for @DerehamCC and @SahamToneyCC who lost out on the final day - good luck going forwards guys.
DOUBLE PROMOTION WEEKEND!!! And massive thanks to all the families, friends and supporters who descended upon Church Lane to celebrate on Sat. The bar manager apologises for the misguided introduction of 'dynamic pricing' - a full review will be instigated and lessons learned
