Pembroke County Cricket Club Under 11s Junior League Final

Published

on

THIS YEAR’S final was between the top two sides from both zones with Cresselly 11’s  beating  their Under 10’s  in the semi final  &  St Ishmaels  beating Lawrenny  in the other.

The Under11s game is played in a pairs format  starting at 200 runs and  Cresselly   Captain  Caden Jones  won the toss against his counter part  Jack Welch  and decided to bowl first. 

This was a very strong Cresselly side with the majority of players in the Regional squad and the bowling was excellent and very accurate. It proved very testing for the St Ishmaels openers With Caden Jones taking the 1st wicket 1-7  and Charlie Walker keeping it tight. The change bowlers of Freddie Caine  3-0 and  Harry Hayden 2-3  kept St Ishmaels on the back foot. Slade Trimby  9, 2 x 4  Mollie Thomas 5 and Jack Welch 11 thought back  and did well to bring the score back over 200, however George  Richards  1-7   struck at the end  and  St Ishmaels finished  on 215. Unfortunately Mollie Thomas sustained an injury during the game  but batted on with resolve but was replaced by Graeme Gudmanz  in the 2nd innings. I pleased to report she is fully recovered.

St Ishmaels needed a good start with the ball and their bowlers rose to the occasion  taking 3 wickets in the first 7 balls  with George Devonald 2-9 Jack Welch 1-26, and with Seb  Vickers 1-19 with a wicket early in the 4th over the game was evenly poised. Jack Richards 18 and Harry Haden 10 started the Cresselly fight back.  It was here with drizzle for a few overs ,umpire Hansen did well to keep the game going  to a conclusion  which everyone was pleased with. In the Middle order there was an explosive 30 by Freddie Caine  7 x 4 with the later batters , Iolo Badham 16  Caden Jones 28 4×4 1×6 and Gethin White 12  taking Cresselly to 350 and Victory. 

In between Lilly Mcguire 1-13 , Slade Trimby 1-12 and Roux Finlay 1- 12 took wickets for St Ishmaels.

Thus Cresselly ran out winners although an interesting statistic is that St Ishmaels conceded half the extras of Cresselly.

The Evan Martin  Trophy (player of the match) a stalwart  of Hook CC for many years  was picked by Dave Petrie  who highlighted all the above performances  and was awarded to a jubilant Freddie Caine for his all round performance with bat and ball.

Again it was great to see a large crowd of knowledgeable spectators  who certainly saw some entertaining Cricket.

In the presentation after the match Martin Jones (Junior Organiser)  congratulated both sides on reaching the Final  with some excellent play by both and Cresselly   for their victory. Both sides should be proud of their Junior sections. He thanked Hook  for hosting the final  and Dave Petrie for preparing the ground   Afterwards  in the Club  Scott Gregory the Bearded Chef  provided  refreshments  for the players, which was well received. 

He  also thanked Allan Hansen  for umpiring , Scorers Louisa Perridge and Wendy  Bradshaw who all contributed to the evenings entertainment.

Last and by no means least he thanked  Sponsors Colin John of Llewelyn Davies & Co Chartered Accountants for his continued and valuable support of Junior Cricket in the County .
