Somerset Reign Supreme!
How Calleva Fuelled the T20 Champions (again)
Af
ter yet another sensational summer of T20 Cricket at Taunton’s County Ground, Somerset Cricket Club progressed once more to Finals Days of the Vitality Blast Championships on Saturday 13th September. An exciting day of fast-paced cricket ensued, with Somerset taking down their Semi-final opponents, Lancashire in the early game of the day. Next up were Hampshire Hawks in the Final.
After an exhilarating 40 overs Somerset managed to beat an all time competition record breaking number of runs to become the T20 Vitality Blast Champions for the 3rd time. It was a very proud day for Somerset and for everyone at Calleva.
Calleva have been a trusted partner and supplier of tailored nutritional products for the Somerset Country Cricket Club for over 8 years now. We regularly invite the team and coaching staff to our production facilities in Bridgwater, to discuss what products the players need to give them the edge across all competitions and what challenges we can help them overcome in terms of recovery products. As a contract manufacturer, we offer the team (and all our customers) bespoke nutritional products, not just off the shelf white label products. Understanding the needs of our client is crucial.
Joseph Satt, Lead S&C Coach at Somerset County Cricket Club said:
“Following our Finals Day triumph, it’s important to recognise the significant role Calleva and their supplements played in our successful campaign.
The physical demands of T20 cricket require athletes to perform repeated high-intensity efforts with minimal recovery time. Calleva’s products, such as energy gels and our bespoke electrolyte solution, ensured our players stayed fuelled, hydrated, and able to maintain peak performance throughout the day.
Their protein supplements were equally vital, supporting recovery between matches and helping fuel players who, due to pre-game nerves, struggled to eat solid food.
In short, without Calleva and their tailored nutritional support, we may not have had that critical 1% competitive edge – the edge that can make all the difference in the defining moments of a tournament.
We’re grateful for their partnership and proud to have them as part of our winning journey.”
The season has now come to a close for Cricket. Time for the team to recover. A big congratulations to the whole team once again. We are so pleased that Calleva have been a key ingredient in this historic victory and are already looking forward to next season.
