 SWCA First Div. 2nd XI

Pontardawe v Clydach

Skipper Steve Jenkins called correctly and inserted Clydach on a damp Rec. track with showers forecast.
A few early showers reduced the contest to one of 47 overs per side but with the score at 81 for 6 the players sought cover and a heavy spell of rain meant an early tea at 3.45 p.m. and a contest of 44 overs.
However, on inspecting the conditions after tea it was evident that no further play was possible and the match was abandoned.
For Clydach, Ieuan Davies top scored with 26, Jo Farthing, 15, and Paul Crocker 13 not out tried to get their team to a reasonable total but it was the unchaged attack of Steve Jenkins and Steve Jones which held sway with Steve Jenkins having figures of 15-4-28-3 and Steve Jones 15-1-46-3.
The only winner yet again in a summer which many experienced observers rate the worst ever thus far was the weather.
"O na fyddai'n haf o hyd!"
