FLIXTON Cricket Club's overseas amateur, Marlon Welcome-Goodman, is climbing up the leading run-scorers table.

The 22-year-old, from Barbados, currently sits fifth in the highest run-scorers for the Greater Manchester Premier League with 344 runs, including two fifties and one century – coming recently against Heywood.

In that three-figure knock, Welcome-Goodman smashed 102 from just 86 balls.

His runs have helped Flixton's first XI to move to within 11 points from third place, despite their 88-run defeat to league leaders Prestwich at the weekend.
