Sheringham secured promotion from Alliance Division Four in the most emphathic style on Saturday, defeating Sprowston A by 10 wickets at Weybourne Road.

Captain James Moy won the toss and elected to bowl first and Sprowston started well enough and reached 40-1 after 10 overs.

However, Sheringham's bowling eventually proved too strong for the already relegated visitors, with Robin Thaxter, Bennett Withers, James Moy, James Platt, Chris Moy and Tom Sheridan all contributing. It was fitting that all the bowlers took a wicket in such an important game, confirming that it has been a fine team effort over the course of the season. Sprowston were bowled out for 89 - the sixth time this season that Sheringham have bowled the opposition out for under 100, a great effort at any level of cricket.

In reply, Sheringham made light work of the run chase, reaching their total from 10.1 overs with some good hitting from openers Will Moy (45 not out) and David King (38 not out) secured the victory and with it, promotion.
