The busy work continues up at The Langley in preparation for the new season. Electric cabling has been run from the pavilion to the nets, for easy set-up of the bowling machine, and from the pavilion across the outfield of the main pitch to the electronic scoreboard which has been installed on a bespoke heavy-duty wooden stand. This will make it easier for scorers and spectators, as well as players, to easily check the score of a match.

The first match of the season is a friendly at home against our old friends and rivals, Diss next Saturday 15 April and then we have a friendly the following Saturday 22 April at home to Thetford and then Mellis at home on Sunday 23 April. The season kicks off properly with all league fixtures on Saturday 29 April.
