Norfolk Seniors

Norfolk Seniors have sides in the O50 & O60 County Championships as well as O60 2nd XI championship, for the first time in 2010, playing cricket against similar sides in the East of England initially. The 3 championship sides then progress to National playoffs.  There is also an O50 2nd XI playing friendly matches against teams from Suffolk, Essex, Lincs & Herts. In 2011 Norfolk are combining with Suffolk to play O70 cricket against up to 6 similarly combined county teams.

The Championship O60 side plays in an ever expanding competition (only 9 counties in 2008, 26 in 2011) in one of 4 divisions which include Leics, Middx, Essex, Suffolk & Herts. They are captained by Paul Rice. Norfolk were National Champions in 2009.  Both Paul & Martin Pearse represented England O60 in the first Senior International against Wales.
