SWCA 2nd XI   Clydach v Pontardawe  Sat. 12th May 2012
On a fine day at Waverley Park, Jonathan Donne called correctly and decided to take first knock for Clydach. Clydach scored 151 all out in 38.3 overs.
Nicky Fisher top scored with 62 and Jonathan Donne scored 20. Clydach were 130 for 5 after 30 overs and a total of 200 looked likely, but 4 wickets fell with the score on 138 and an eventual total of 151 off 38.3 overs  had to be settled for at tea.
For Ponty  Jeff Hapgood with 3 for 18 off 12 overs, Steve Jones 3 for 23 and captain Steve Jenkins 2 for 44 were the most successful bowlers.
In reply, Ponty made sedate progress  and were only 31 for 2 after 20 overs.
However, a stand of 70 between Simon Davies and Steve Jones accelerated the scoring rate and Steve Jones departed for 41 (6 x 4, 1 x 6) whilst Simon went on to score a sound, chanceless 50 before being run out attempting to score the winning run. The target was reached in the 52nd over with 10 overs left in the bank. Pick of the Clydach attack was Adam Farthing who took 4 for 17 off 10 overs. An encouraging win for Ponty after last Saturday's pasting at Dafen. Good Comeback!
