Fakenham 173-3

Many teams would have been daunted by the total but, on a good track and short boundaries, the young Bury team won the admiration of the home side and supporters as they chased the big total.
Viveck (35) and Hugo Rynsard-Perry (62) batted superbly for the first wicket and Mark Nunn, after playing himself in, took the game to Braintree with a magnificent 113. Stuart Nunn remained 39no as the final wicket fell with the score on 301.
l BURY 3rd XI played at home to Maldon 2nd XI. .
Bury batted first and scored 137, which was disappointing after good contributions from Nick Curran (41), Simon Aldous and James Sturgeon.
