The Norfolk & Suffolk League was formed following a reorganisation of the
sport's regions. It was essentially the East Anglian League renamed to reflect
eligibility.
Somersham surprised themselves by jumping to the top of the
table in the early stages with good wins at Gt Blakenham and versus Kesgrave. It
was a terrible start for last year's winners Kesgrave though, who had earlier
lost at home to Eaton in the biggest league defeat of the year.
But Somersham
then began to falter, losing at Spixworth with an under-strength side. Meanwhile
Eaton were racking up the wins to head to top of the table and Kesgrave
gradually got there act together with wins at Hethersett and Spixworth.
Eaton
finally secured the league when they beat Spixworth and completed an unbeaten
campaign with the home win over Somersham.
Gt Blakenham continually struggled
to get their best side together on the same day but eventually managed it in the
last match of the season and promptly won at Somersham. That gave Kesgrave
second in the table as they had beaten Somersham on aggregate.
Spixworth
looked a bit weak on paper so should be happy with their mid-table position. And
they had some very close battles.
Hethersett were much more competitive than
their bottom of the table position suggests, and it was no reflection of their
effort.
