MAYCC's Boys Under 11s celebrated their second tournament victory of the season at Felixstowe today. The Kwik Cricket tournament featured 8 teams, with our boys winning all of their group games (against Felixstowe, Hadleigh and Kesgrave), before going on to record an impressive 57 run victory in the final against Worlingworth.

The boys bowled well, fielded enthusiastically and hit plenty of boundaries in a good all-round performance. Well done!

On Saturday 18th July we will be kicking off Cricket Week with a family fun day at our club. But we need help - your help!

So if you can man a stall, flip burgers, bake a cake, help setting up, or donate a prize for the raffle, tombola or bottle hoopla (any type of bottle!) we would be extremely grateful.

Contact Jo or Lisa, or find them at the club during Thursday training sessions from 4-6pm.

As part of our club development we are adding a ladies team this season. There has already been some interest, so Eddie has said he will help with a weekly session in a (quiet) corner of the ground, on Thursdays while the juniors are doing their training.

Several of the older girls have said that they would be more than happy to help the ladies on their way and just have a bit of fun.

Please pass on this message and give Eddie feedback and suggestions. The children will love to see their mums having a go!

Contact Eddie Green for further details.

Suffolk Cricket have announced the appointment of our very own Melton Chairman Nick Shrubshall to the role of Chairman of Suffolk Cricket Board from January 2015.

The role involves overseeing the evolution of Suffolk Cricket Board, particular helping manage the ECB’s expectations and requirements of the County Board. Nick's role as Chairman of Melton St Audrys and Melton Achilles Youth Cricket Clubs will be unaffected.

Congratulations to Nick on his appointment from all at the club.

Melton St Audrys CC and Melton Achilles YCC have two reasons to celebrate in the run-up to the new season. Firstly, the club has just received its Clubmark certificate from the England and Wales Cricket Board. Clubmark is the ECB’s accreditation scheme for clubs with junior sections. Clubs are required to meet minimum standards across 4 key areas: Duty of Care and Safeguarding Children; the Cricket Programme offered by the Club; Knowing your Club and its Community – One Game; and Club Management.

The second piece of good news is a generous funding award from Suffolk Coastal District Council, which will be invested in new equipment and coaching for the youths.

With brand new training facilities already opened last season, the youth section is enjoying unprecedented growth. The club welcomes new players of all abilities including absolute beginners, both girls and boys, aged 6-18.
