Thetford Street Cricketers Enjoy London Tournament

7th June 2023

Thetford Street represented Norfolk in the Chance to Shine Street Regional Competition Finals in Mitcham, London on Tuesday 2nd June and produced two outstanding performances to secure wins against 1st Class Counties Surrey and Middlesex.

With a place in the final assured Norfolk were asked to play another game as time was in hand. However, Norfolk lost that game and the group was reshuffled as a result, placing them in a super over bowl-out which they lost narrowly. Norfolk then played their final game against a useful Surrey side which they beat convincingly by 34 runs given them a final 3rd place finish.

Coach Mick Piggott said after the tournament, “These boys have come so far in such a short space of time and the hard work and dedication they have shown throughout our street winter training programme is beginning to pay off. They were comfortably one of the best teams in the tournament and Craig (Coach) and I are so extremely proud of everything they achieved today.

A massive thanks must also go to the parents who accompanied us down to Mitcham in London”. A brilliant day of street cricket was enjoyed by us all.

Well done Street Superstars. Mick Piggott (04/06/2023)
