In the mixed finals, teams from 16 schools assembled at Manor Park, near Horsford.

The four remaining teams reconvened at Norwich Cricket Club's Postwick ground at a later date.

The first semi-final went down to the last over when St Williams Primary lost two wickets in pursuit of a victory target of 242 set by Glebe House School, to lose by just eight runs. In the second match Blofield Primary beating East Harling Primary by 38 runs without losing a wicket.
