Great Melton Cricket Club

Congrats Nichols and Ryan on making the honours board for your bowling performances on Saturday 15th Aug

Gt Melton u19s rocket into the finals with a convincing win over Horsford Hurricanes.

After a rained off fixture on Friday the teams met again on Sunday afternoon at Manor Park with the home side sending Melton into bat at the toss.

A steady start was accelerated when Laurie Poulson (28) and George Alcock (34) started to find the boundaries. The innings was well steered by Matt Hillis (52*) with further scores from Lucas Berney (12) and Charlie Hosmer (11*)

Needing 185 to win Horsford made and impressive start with their top three getting away fast with high strike rates, however when they were removed by Jack Joice, Max Cubitt and Sammy Belderson wickets began to tumble. Sammy got a further 2 victims before Laurie blew away the tail with a hat-trick all clean bowled.

Highlight of the game was an absolutely incredible catch on the boundary... Laurie showing unbelievable athleticism to take a steepling catch and after failing to retain his balance and in danger of touching the rope he released the ball with a 25 yard throw into the hands of a diving Matt Hillis. Quite sensational.

Gt Melton Phoenix go through to finals day at Tas this Bank Holiday Monday and face Fakenham in the semi-final (10.45) Do come and support the team.

No change at the very top with The Legends hanging on to first spot. Lots of jockeying for position in places 2-4 and a new entrant to the top 5 for the Pitch Pleases... a good week all round for Cook!

What a monumental Saturday of cricket for Great Melton CC - Titles and Records!

B Team capped off an incredible campaign by beating Ashmanhaugh & Barton Wanderers 3rd XI by 191 runs to WIN THE LEAGUE with one game to go - M Cook putting in a sensational performance scoring an unbeaten 217* to set a Saturday Great Melton CC record!
1st XI delivered a dominant 150-run win over Beccles Town CC! They now go into the final game of the season with the possibility to win the league and secure promotion.
C Team racked up a huge 203-run victory against Acle CC, headlined by an outstanding 136* from M Shabbir!
A Team fell to a 7-wicket defeat against Hethersett & Tas-Valley CC 2nd XI, but a massive shoutout goes to POTM L Bernie (42) and O Marshall (2-24)—two U15 juniors who led the way with standout performances!

A huge thank you to all our sponsors, volunteers, and supporters! One final push next weekend to bring home more silverware! Up the Melton!
