Acle and Great Melton served up a cracking Norfolk Alliance U13 final which went to the last over where man of match Arran Dhesi scored 45 not out to secure victory.

In an eight-a-side pairs match Melton batted first and recorded a respectable 295-3 (Net 271).

Ryan Howard gave the innings much-needed impetus with 14 and captain Jo Greenslade hit an impressive looking 35. James Hasting (1- 3) was the most successful bowler. In reply Chloe Dhesi (16) gave the innings early impetus which subsequently stalled in the middle overs and when the last pair went to the wicket Gt Melton were firm favourites with almost 50 still needed.

Dhesi had other ideas and at the start of the last he smashed three fours to secure victory. Of the bowlers Aimee Palmer only conceded six runs from her three overs including two maidens.

In the Frankly Digital Norfolk Alliance Terry Moore U11 final, Great Witchingham beat Vauxhall Mallards by 52 runs at Garboldisham.
