MATCH REPORTS – WEEK 9
Performance of the week goes to Division 2 side Conwy who al but wrapped up the league title with back to back wins over their two closest rivals. They now need only one point from their final game. On Monday night they beat Bryn-Y-Neuadd by 8 wickets after bowling the hospital side out for only 58. The following night they had an equally comfortable 7 wicket victory over an under strength Eirias HS side, restricting them to 99-6. Shaun Davies performed well in both matches with bat and ball; he took 3-5 on Monday and hit 47 against Eirias. Well done Conwy.
The other game in Division 2 saw another tie this week between Penrhyn Arms and Rhos Fynach Taverners. The Arms batted first and a fine 51 no from Paul Anderson steered them to a respectable total of 99-7; Paul Williams taking 2-12 for the home side. The Fynach openers started well and were well ahead of the rate at the loss of the first wicket on 57. However some tight mid innings bowling and good fielding by The Arms put the brakes on and Fynach found themselves needing 8 off the last over bowled by Arms captain John Barrett. A second ball 4 seemed to have done the job 2 dot balls meant that the home side could only score 3 runs off the last 2 balls. An exciting end to a great game!
