Their first group match was against West Bridgford who took an early lead as Melton started slowly.

But once in full flow, tries from Norgate, Harris, McNally-Reilly, Lyne and Badham made them convincing 35-7 winners.

Melton really opened up against Loughborough. Four tries from Rennie, two each from McNally-Reilly and Lyne were capped by Norgate who completed a 59-0 win.

A similar scoreline followed against Stratton Forwards. A brace of tries from Rennie, Ward and Fielding came allied to further scores from Eggleston, Williams, McNally-Reilly and Lyne for a 62-0 rout.

The final group match was against school side De Lisle who proved much tougher opponents.

A score in each half from scrum-half Norgate laid a good platform for Melton who became sucked into a more physical brawling game, losing some of their shape. De Lisle scored late in the game, but Melton took the match 14-7.

The semi-final saw Melton paired with Stratton Backs. McNally-Reilly, Norgate and Williams provided scores before half-time with one in reply to provide a comfortable cushion.

Melton then moved on with scores from Rennie, Norgate, and Badham sealing a 36-7 victory.

The final brought a rematch with De Lisle, Melton knowing they had to stick to intelligent, flowing rugby.

Eggleston bagged two early scores with one in reply before half-time. Second half tries from McNally-Reilly and Rennie helped Melton extend their lead before De Lisle responded with a score.

Norgate's final try was enough to edge out De Lisle who added a consolation try on the final whistle as Melton took it 27-17.

A truly great squad display and a fitting end to a magnificent season.

Melton: Badham, Eggleston, Fielding, Harris, Heaver, Lyne, McNally-Reilly, Norgate, Rennie, Ward, Williams.
