COLWYN BAY & DISTRICT CRICKET LEAGUE
(Founded 1965)
WEEK 4: Monday 21st - Wednesday 23rd May 2007
The May rain eased as Week 4 of the Gilbert Emery Evening Cricket League saw the 2007 league tables begin to take shape. New Rydal Penrhos Secretary Huw G. Roberts hit 41 unbeaten runs to lead his team to a total of 125-6 before bowlers Rhys Williams (3-10) and Huw D. Roberts (2-16) restricted Rhos Fynach Taverners to 70-7 in reply. Rydal claiming a first win of the season by 55 runs. Ysgol Pen Y Bryn leapfrogged Abergele CC to top Division 1 thanks to their 56 run victory at Pentre Mawr. Batting first, Pen Y Bryn scored 129-6 thanks to positive batting by Chris Rowley (46not out) and Derek Klazinga (39). Abergele promptly lost a wicket in the first over of their reply to place them onto the back foot, Andy Spillane taking 3-19 from his 4 overs. Carl Barrett set about the PYB bowling hitting two successive sixes before becoming the first of 3 victims to fall in one over from Darren Dentith to ensure his team a 5 point victory.
Two Second Division matches were unfortunately won by walkover. Mochdre CC and Bryn Y Neuadd celebrated 5-0 wins as Colwyn Bay Rugby Club and Lex XI each failed to raise a team. In the only match played, Robertsons batted first at home to Mochdre Colts and scored 112-7, Dan Wilde (25), Russell Harris (24) and Simon Otto (21) their main run-scorers. James Hawley took 4 wickets for only 24 runs before scoring 28 runs as the Colts chased victory. Adam Jones' unbeaten 50 leading Mochdre Colts to secure an 8 wicket win.
League Chairman Colin Proffitt produced the Division 3 bowling performance of the week in. leading his team Caerhun to a 12 run win over Penrhyn Arms. Gethin Rowland (32n.o) helped Caerhun to 102-8 despite tight bowling by Tom Barrett (3-22). K.Rigby (26) top-scored for Penrhyn Arms as they chased their maiden league win before Proffitt took the ball. Five wickets for 14, and a dropped catch off his own bowling, ensured that Colin Proffitt's Caerhun went to the top of the table as Penrhyn were restricted to 90-9. An unfortunate mix up regarding the date of their fixture gifted Bodelwyddan-Tŷ Fry victory over newcomers St. David's College. Solid batting by Phil Davies (52ret) and Dan Davies (26n.o) alongside tight bowling by C.Wareham (3-12) enabled Conwy Colts to celebrate a 36 run victory over club rivals Conwy Celts.
