Holders Flixton set for Hospital Cup final showdown against Malton

The Scarborough Hospital Cup final takes place on Friday night, July 31, at North Marine Road with a 6pm start.

The prestigious game is a repeat of the 2024 final between Folkton & Flixton, and Malton & Old Malton, which saw the former come out on top.

Three-time winners Malton last won the trophy in 2018 but have been runners up in two of the past three finals.

To reach the final, Malton overcame Seamer and Scalby with half-centuries from Ryan Wharton and Luke Smith leading them to a comfortable 60-run win over Bridlington in the first semi-final.

Flixton, who are searching for a cup double after their dramatic Linda Goulding Memorial Harburn Cup win last week, beat Pickering before easing past Ganton in the last four, with brothers Jack and Harry Walmsley showing good form.

Admission to the game is free and a good crowd is expected.

The competition organisers have been working hard all season and will be holding a raffle during the game with all proceeds going to the Scarborough Hospital Amenities Fund.
