Warren at the Shadwell Cricket Tournament

This summer, we took part in the Shadwell Cup – a long-standing cricket tournament that holds a special place in the local community. The event is not just about friendly competition, but also a way of showing appreciation to Shadwell for their generous donations, which helped fund the cricket club’s new extension. This much-needed space will now allow for more social events and fundraising opportunities in the future.

The tournament featured four teams: Warren, Team C, Shadwell and Thetford Town Cricket Club Under 17s.

Our opening match saw us face off against Team C. Despite the persistent rain, the Warren team battled through and came out on top! There were plenty of memorable moments along the way – Reino’s opening spell of bowling certainly kept the opposition on their toes, Konnor’s spectacular slip in the mud brought a few laughs and Lee sealed the win by scoring the decisive runs.

That victory earned us a well-deserved place in the final against Thetford Town’s talented Under 17s side. Sadly, worsening weather conditions meant the final couldn’t be completed, and the result was declared a draw.

While the rain might have dampened the pitch, it didn’t dampen spirits. A huge thank you goes out to everyone who took part. It was a great day!
