Buzzer scored well over 10,000 runs, 500 wickets and 100 catches. Captained the side with distinction and in this his last season was our top wicket taker.
Only played for Ynystawe CC - despite numerous offers.
We will find a important club role for him that's for sure ...

If ever there is an example of how grant aid , from

Lost in the emotion of playing our first home game in the SWPCL division 1 was the selection of

Madison bowled 6 overs for just 15 which is testimony of how well she played.
