church, which has the second tallest tower in Norfolk and can be seen from miles around on a clear day.  The ground and much of the village belongs to the Salle Estate which has been owned by the White family for generations.</div> <bR> <div> The square has capacity for seven pitches and has gained a reputation in the early years for being generally low scoring, but conducive for close, entertaining games of cricket.  However, latterly the playing surface has improved beyond recognition and match aggregate scores are often well in excess of 400 in the 40 over game.  The highest score ever posted at Salle was 359-8, achieved by Reepham and Salle in the 2010 season against Hemsby A and the lowest 28, accrued by Hales in 2004.  Reepham and Salle Cricket Club have had an excellent record at home, having won two thirds of all matches played on home turf.  The pitches face East-West and the two ends are known as the 'Wood End' and the 'Forge End'.  There have been many improvements carried between 2004 and 2010 on the square and its quality has vastly improved since the inaugural 2001 season.</div> <bR> <div> The outfield has three long boundaries and one short one behind the Wood End and is surrounded by open fields on two sides, a small wood and Salle Street to the other.  There is a gentle slope running from North to South.  The outfield has also improved over the years and it is generally well-paced.</div> <bR> <div> The Club has three ground staff; Joe Hollis, Frank Parkinson and Eddie Holl, who have worked tirelessly over the last decade to produce what is now widely regarded as one of the best village pitches in Norfolk.</div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="250" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0"

will be addressed by a new Pavilion, which is in the early stages of planning.</div> <bR> <div> The Club has acquired much equipment of its own over the last three years and Salle is now furnished with a new built-in-house scoreboard, practice net, bespoke sightscreens and a score trailer, converted from an old ice cream cart!</div> <bR> <div> The score trailer was unveiled in August 2003, after months of hard work by Joe Hollis, Peter Vokes and Marty Jacobs.  The need for a shelter for scorers was necessitated by the windy conditions that sometimes prevail at Salle, plus it is something unique for visitors to see!  Since its introduction it has proved to have been a great success, providing a focal point for spectators to congregate and a source of amusement for visiting teams.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>____________________________________________________________________________________</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U> <TABLE BORDER="0"
