Tata Steel v Pontardawe
Fine at last! Steve Jenkins called correctly and inserted Tata. The first 10 overs yielded only 19 runs as Jeff Hapgood and Steve Jenkins tied openers Paul Donovan and Morgan Jones down but the pair put on 114 runs before Jones was dismissed for 46. Donovan found another good partner in Rohan Herbert and the two shared another 100 partnership before the experienced Donovan was bowled by Bav. Patel for a well crafted 104. Herbert went on to complete a very attractive 56 from 47 balls including 9 fours and a six.Captain Phil Taylor fired a rapid 32 (4 fours and 1 six as the Ponty bowlers toiled in the sun and a formidable total of 267 for 3 was reached at tea.
For Ponty Bav. Patel took 2 of the wiwickets to fall for 65 runs off 10 overs.
Pontardawe in reply were dissmised for 143 1n 40 overs. Bav. Patel top scored with 25, Nick Morgan 23 and Gareth Pritchard 21. Most successful for Tata were Adam Jardine and Taylor Rees who both returned figures of 3 for 24 from 7 overs. Skipper Phil Taylor bagged 2 for 15. So a convincing 124 run victory for Tata but all finally were able to enjoy a game of cricket in pleasant conditions.
