Sunday 22/8 promises to be a unique day in the history of the Club’s Junior Section!
Already through to the Les Sharp U13 Cup Final at Pontarddulais CC that day are our U13 XI (v Pontarddulais @ 10.30am).
Well, this evening (10th) at Marespool, our gifted U17 side also came away comfortable semi-final victors, this time over Maesteg Celtic. As a result, our lads will be taking on Carmarthen Wanderers in the U17 League Cup Final at Pontarddulais on the same day, start 4.30pm!
In this evening’s clash, MCC won the toss and batted first..129-5 from their 20 overs. Jaden Patel (51, 5 fours & a six) and Luke Edwards (36, 1 four & a six) made hay. A decent total but this was a semi-final which lesser sides do not reach..so, enough?
Well, as it happens..yep! Celtic were never really in the hunt, as they finished 34 runs shy..95-5! All seven home bowlers gave little away, especially Joe Holland (0-14 from his four overs) and Alex Davies (2-12 from his four) in the middle of the innings. Further wickets for Gethin Morgan (1-3) and Mike Jarrett (1-18), plus a run out, reduced Celtic from 53-1 at one stage to 72-5..game over.
Well done tonight, lads..thoroughly deserved!
Good luck to both of our teams on 22nd!
