SWCA Div. 1 2nd XI Championship View Scorecard back Pontardawe v Gowerton July 28th 2012 Gowerton won the toss and elected to bat. Ciaran Chilcott and Steve Jenkins kept the batsmen quiet for the first 15 overs without a wicket and a breakthrough was not achieved until the 30th over with the introduction of Simon Davies into the attack and the score on 130. Gowerton went on to total 251 for 5 at tea with captain David Roberts top scoring with 89, Graeme Hughes 72 and Josh Matthews, having retired hurt earlier, returning to make an unbeaten 36. Simon Davies took all 5 wickets to fall for 64 runs off 15 overs. Ponty did not really help their cause with some half a dozen spilt catches. Pontardawe totalled 127 all out, Jeff Hapgood the pick of the batting with 36 not out. Again it was the late introduction of a bowler, Dave Clarke, which hastened Ponty's demise as he wrapped up the innings with 5 for 19 from just 5 overs. A convincing win, therefore, for Gowerton by 124 runs. Alan Williams - 29/07/2012 View Scorecard back
