Daniel Hayward and Mason Button opened the Great Melton attack and took an early wicket, with Button bowling the opener Wood in his first over.

Wickets fell on a regular basis and were spread amongst most of the bowlers, with Button claiming two wickets, Frankie Galvin getting his first wicket of the season and Tom Lodge claiming a caught behind by George Ducker.

Another excellent team performance, with contributions from all 11 players.

Great Melton U15 beat Old Buckenham U15 by 59 runs in the Andy Seeley Trophy.

Having lost the toss, Melton were put into bat and George Bunn and Ed Allen soon set about the Old Buckenham bowlers.

With an excellent batting track and fast outfield, Melton were scoring at a run a ball and with his 50 in sight, Ed (46) danced down the track only to be stumped.

Josh Wilson joined Bunn, who departed two overs later, six runs short of his 50. Viv Sharma strode out to join Wilson and between them they set about building a big score.

In the final over Josh hit his 50, finishing on 55 not out, with Viv contributing a useful 19 as Melton totalled a massive 181 for two.

The plan of giving all those who had not batted a chance with the ball paid off, as wickets fell on a regular basis, with Simon Brett taking two for 17 off his three overs and Frankie Galvin one for 16 off his two overs.

However, the star was Daniel Hayward, who bowled an excellent line and length and finished with two for 12 off his four overs. George King reluctantly joined the party and claimed two for 10 off his three overs, while George Ducker ran out Bartlett, who top scored for Old Buckenham with 22, with an excellent throw from behind the stumps.

The innings came to an end with Old Buckenham falling short of their target with just one wicket intact. Again a good team performance, although the bowling needs to be tighter as no-balls and wides contributed greatly to the visitors' final total.
