Final Game Decider in Melksham Kwick
CricketThe Melksham Kwik Cricket competition was decided in the
very last game of the tournament held at the George Ward School. The
tournament, which was held over two weeks, saw Aloeric at the top of the league
at the start of the second set of games, and they just had to beat St
Georges Semington to win the tournament.
The rules of Kwik Cricket
meant that a team which lost wickets also lost runs and a good bowling
performance by St Georges saw them pick up a number of wickets, giving
them a close win by 9 runs. This meant that if The Manor won the other game,
there would be a 3 way tie with Aloeric winning on the greater number of runs
scored. If Seend won, there would be a two way tie between Aloeric and St
George, and the winner of the game between these teams would win the
competition. In the end Seend, who previously had not won a game, beat The
Manor to give St Georges their first victory in this competitions
ten year history.
