A great opportunity to work in cricket on a part-time basis, as the EDI Officer

The Norfolk Cricket Foundation are recruiting for a part-time (3 days per week equivalent) member of staff to take on the important role of EDI Inclusion Officer within the county.

The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Officer plays a vital role in delivering this vision by helping to make cricket as inclusive and accessible as possible throughout the county. As participation in the game continues to grow and reach new audiences, it is essential to diversify playing opportunities, broaden representation among those who lead and support the game, and foster a culture where everyone feels cricket is for them—whether as a player, coach, official, volunteer, or supporter.

👩U18 Girls Hundred Cup👩

This afternoon, at Postwick, was freezing 🥶 but the girls weren't too worried. Beccles won the toss and elected to field. Borley did the damage, taking 2 for 28 off 15 balls, with support from Stanton-Kelly & Sydenham who were both very economical in their spells. Barnes was the stand out batter scoring 40* from 40 balls, spending time at the crease with Bailey (24) and E.Borrett (21). Norwich finishing their 100 balls on 121 for 3.

Beccles batters McKinley (43 off 51) and Lowther (34* off 45) lead the response, keeping the target within reach. The Norwich team worked brilliantly, with some economic bowling, Barnes (1 for 12 off 15) and Jackson (1 for 25 off 15) taking the wickets, and excellent fielding, putting the pressure on the batters right up to the final ball with Beccles needing 5 to win! They posted a total of 117-2.

An absolutely fantastic game. Congratulations to both teams. Norwich walk away with the trophy 🏆

Thank you to Norwich for hosting the whole day, and to Lucy for umpiring.
