The recreation of a Youth section thanks to the hard work and dedication of Dave Hiscocks and able assistance and support from Mark Jeffery Steve Tayler Scott Cameron amp Ian Jeffery has been a marked success for this season and is just the start of building a secure future for the club. They have had 30 youngsters turn up on Sundays throughout the season and the feedback weve received is that all have had a great time. We hope to build on this and continue the good work next season in 2011. The emergence of players like Scott Cameron Matty Hemmings John Wiltshire amp Ian Jeffery have been important factors in the games won throughout the year. The addition of the hugely experienced and legend of the local Cricket scene Steve Perrin and the talented Siad Ibrahim have made a huge difference and both players have gelled... 2010-9-2 17:34:14 http://www.melkshamtowncricketclub.co.uk/page14.htm#69180 MATCH REPORT DIVISION 2 WILTSHIRE LEAGUE 26 06 2010 Melksham Town hosted Collingbourne and ran out winners by 14 runs. Having won the toss the home side chose to bat on a sweltering hot day. Openers Mark Wiltshire and Ian Jeffery fell cheaply and after skipper Hiscocks fell for 32 new signing Syed Ibrahim came to the crease but was undone 1st ball for a duck to leave the home side teetering at 704. Darren Perrin then joined John Wiltshire at the crease and these 2 changed the game sharing in a partnership of 103. Perrins score card had the unusual sight of a few 2s due in some part to the fact Ibrahim was needed to act as a runner. Perrin was eventually out for 22 whilst John Wiltshire went on to make a fine 74 containing 4 sixes and seven 4s. The tail added a few more leaving the home side on 1936 at the end of the innings.

The home side started with only 10 players and due to other commitments ended the match with only 8 but put up a brave show. The home side won the toss and elected to bat first and that decision seened vindicated with an opening partnership of 40 before the first wicket fell. Andy Mackay Matt Peglar and Steve Taylor quickly followed and when opener Steve Peglar was out for 21 the home side were tottering on 665. Scott Simmons opened his account for the season with a quick six but fell at 736.

Mike Coll came and wen... 2010-6-6 13:03:02 http://www.melkshamtowncricketclub.co.uk/page14.htm#67601 MTCC 1st XI V Urchfont Away MTCC 1st XI picked up thier first win of the season with a comphrehensive victory at Urchfont by seven wickets.

Home skipper Dave Hiscocks won the toss and opted to bat and his decision was vindicated by openers Mark Wiltshire and Ian Jeffery who put on 90 for the first wicket after 25 overs and a score of 200 plus looked on the cards. However Mark Wiltshire was out for 40 and Ian Jeffery followed soon after for 43 the rest of the order collapsed mainly through ill disciplined shots. Darren Perrin went for 0 wafting at a straight one and Dave Hiscocks spooned a catch to midwicket.

However the introduction of the slower pace of Dave magic Macey and Jon Helps brought an immediate breakthrough and Macey finished with 5 wickets for 31 runs helped by some outstanding wicket keeping by Matt Peglar which included 2 stumpings. Helps battled bravely into the wind and despite an obvious lack of fitness took 3 wickets for 48 runs .Melkshams fielders supported their bowlers well and a special mention must be made for the efforts of young debutant Michael Paine who produced a couple memorable pieces of fielding. Swindon finished with a respectable 156 all out with a painstaking 54 from opener Steele Davis and 33 from P Richards. The Town openers of Mark Jeffery and Steve Peglar set about their chase ... 2010-5-4 11:19:28 http://www.melkshamtowncricketclub.co.uk/page14.htm#61002 Welcome to MTCCs first blog with the aim of updating you on the clubs progress throughout the coming season..
