MORE HISTORY

While many clubs in recent years have struggled with membership we as a club have been very fortunate in attracting players and through a policy of blooding players at an early age we have been able to put out four teams on a Saturday and enter competitive cricket through the Mid Norfolk League on a Sunday.

The Club is also pleased to welcome touring sides, where we are able to offer a good standard of cricket and an above average social side after the game.
A major step forward for the club was achieved in the 2000 season when Norfolk County Cricket Club decided to make Manor Park their home.
The success of this move has been beyond our wildest dreams - whilst both parties believed that we were "people Norfolk could do business with" its has to be done as a result of a number of very generous supporters who have provided substantial finance and through the efforts of a number of very hard working individuals.
Substantial improvements have been made to the ground and it is the intention to continue the facility improvements over the coming year, hopefully supported by an ECB grant and further grant funding that exists to be gained.
The Norfolk Festival held over ten days, to many in Norfolk is the highlight of the season - a festival that the club is pleased to support and assist to run.,.
The 2004 season saw Tony Selby joining us as Director of Cricket with immediate results across the club. In 2005, Paul Newman the ex Derbyshire and Norfolk captain joined us as 1XI captain, with the intention of making a realistic attempt at gaining promotion to the EAPL.
In addition to Chris Brown as head coach and Matthew Wilkinson a number of quality players have been recruited such as James Walker, Matthew Gooderham, Matthew Reid, James Gilliat and James Ing.
A Quality overseas player, Henry Davids from South Africa has also joined the club ranks, previously with Godmanchester he starred with both bat and ball during the 2005 season.
