    Norfolk were knocked out of the Unicorns Trophy at the quarter final stage for the fifth successive season after losing at Staffordshire.

    They never recovered from a top order collapse after being put into bat.

    Norfolk were bowled all out for just 119 after slumping to 39-4 and and then 95-9. Matt Plater top-scored with 31.

    Norfolk briefly threatened an unlikely victory when Ben Coote struck twice in an over to leave Staffs on 62-4 at Longton, but the home side won comfortably in the end, by five wickets with 30 overs to spare.

  3. Stafford's Tory MP backs Theresa May to stay as PM

    Stafford's Conservative MP Jeremy Lefroy says he believes Theresa May should stay as prime minister.

    Mrs May will be meeting the committee a day after announcing her cabinet.

    Mrs May is set to face tough questions later from her backbenchers after the Conservatives lost their majority at last week's election.

    She has faced calls after the election to resign while the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has accused Mrs May of "squatting" in No 10, telling the BBC's Andrew Marr Show on Sunday that the country "cannot go on with a period of great instability".

    She received a higher percentage of the votes than any prime minister for a considerable length of time and this was in an election which showed an unprecedented turnout as well. The turnout in my constituency of Stafford was 76%."
