About Great Melton Cricket Club
Great Melton Cricket Club is a Norfolk village club situated 3 miles from the market town of Wymondham and 7 miles from Norwich. The club's beautiful parkland setting is in the heart of the Norfolk countryside and the club itself is the hub of its small village community. We aim to encourage the playing of and involvement in cricket through the provision of playing and practice facilities, coaching, fixtures and social events for members of all ages and abilities and the club's recently-extended and refurbished pavilion serves as village hall and a social amenity for a range of community groups, including the adjacent Bowls Club.
Great Melton currently run 4 Saturday teams, a Sunday team that has entered the National Village Cup, an Over 40's team, a Women's Team, an U19 Team and Junior teams for boys and girls of all abilities at Under 17, Under 15, Under 13, Under 11 & Under 9.
Our home ground, Melton Park, has a senior pitch with sight screens and an electronic scoreboard; a junior pitch equipped with an artificial wicket and a wooden pavilion; a two-bay artificial practice area and a pavilion with changing facilities for men and women, kitchen, bar and clubroom. We have the use of a second pitch at Town Close School Playing Field which is ‘home' to the B & C Teams.
For our Saturday teams in 2025, the 1st XI competes in Division 1 of the Norfolk Cricket Alliance and the A team in Division 3; the B and C teams play in the Norfolk Cricket League Divisions 1 and 3; the Women's Team, following a merger with Swardeston Ladies will compete in the new formed Ladies EAPL Divsion 2, the NCB Shell Women's League and softball leage; the Over 40s in the NCB O40s League and the U19s in the ECB U19 T20 Competition.
In 2024 we provided coaching and/or playing opportunities for over 200 youngsters and boys and girls can start at the club as young as 5 as we participate in the ECB-sponsored All Stars and Dynamos softball cricket programmes. Once youngsters are ready for hardball games they can play for our Phoenix, Blaze and Fire age-group teams at several different levels in the Norfolk Cricket Alliance Junior competitions and, for the U13s & U15s, in the ECB T20 Knock-Out Cup.
