In Norfolk League Division One both Blundeston and Happisburgh remain unbeaten, writes Mike Ridout.
Jamie Carter's fine form continued with 65 not out as Happisburgh beat Rollesby. Tim Simms (6-22) helped restrict Kirkley & Lowestoft Railway despite half centuries for Jamie Ayers and Chris Lambert. Graham Talbot scored a half century in Blundeston's reply.
Cringleford Lodge were outplayed by East Harling, Stuart Hilton taking 4-30 and Stuart Wells 3-31. They were backed up by Rob Free's 79no and Ross Pickerall's 37no as Cringleford's total was passed without loss. Chris Cropley (76) and George Sowery (6-52) helped Belton overcome Felthorpe.
Tom Quinten's 61 was eclipsed by Mariya Babu's 6-32 as Drayton beat St Andrews in Division Two, while Paul Sprong (111) and James Sneddon (88) helped Ketteringham Hall amass a target that was too much for Sprowston B. Eaton are still unbeaten after defeating Costessey.
In 3E, Alex Stevens' 50no and Darren Fowles' 5-12 meant Garboldisham defeated Hales & Loddon. Elsewhere, Dave Yarham, ably supported by Danny Shreeve (54), hit 64 as Overstrand beat Aylsham. In 3W, Ian Harrison (62) and Ross Jones (57) helped Hethersett & Tas Valley B overcome Hingham to go top. Ty Thakker (64) and Chris Rymarz (4-20) ensured Rackheath won again.
