BROOK & SANDHILLS 1943

Source : Minute book

From the number of matches played it must be the case that the club played on Saturdays and Sundays (and probably on bank holidays), although there appears to be no definition between the two in terms of results and averages until 1960.

BROOK & SANDHILLS 1944

Source : Minute book

Whilst there is no detail on matches played, the Secretary's report on this season (at the AGM on 9th February 1945) noted 'I imagine the year 1944 will remain in everyone's memory as a year of great events (a reference to D Day on 6th June) and it is interesting and pleasurable to recall that our cricket gave considerable happiness and entertainment to unit stationed locally, who were waiting for the word 'Go', as well as various service teams that visited us'

Although shown in the scorebook as 20 overs for Mike Thorne, they were almost certainly David Thorne's (who as a slow left arm bowler played 1st class cricket for the Combined Services in 1964). They were identical twins and were officers in the Royal Norfolk Regiment (later Royal Anglian) and reached senior rank - Brigadier and Major General with knighthood respectively.

See 18 Sep match, Ingleby Jefferson, brother of Richard Jefferson (Cambridge University and Surrey), was also a serving officer in the Royal Norfolk Regiment at the time.

It is possible any scheduled matches between 20 Jul and 10 Aug were cancelled for weather or player availability reasons - although this seems unlikely for four consecutive weekends (and there are no clues from 2nd XI and Sunday XI results; they aren't held). In the scorebook the match details for 13 Jul are followed immediately by those for 17 Aug, but this could mean that the scorebook was 'lost' for a month - or another book was used.

Bill Lander's 9-32 is the 5th best club bowling return (shared with Chris Terry). He conceded no runs in his first 9 overs, 6 in his 10th, and none in overs 10 to 14. In his last 4.2 overs 26 were scored off him; a little expensive.
