Captains report (provided and written by Jim (VC) as
Luvvers couldn't make it)
Successful season. 21 wins from 34 - most since 2011.
4th in league, (10th previous year), most wins since
2000 (although various fixture numbers). First winning
season since 2019.
Reached cup final. Lost by 18 runs - first chase in
cup. Pontcanna rather than St Fagans. Never beaten Radyr
Fam/Dads before. So doesn’t detract from season.
Team highlights. Talygarn 62ao, chased in 5.4 for 0,
Luvvers and Rhys. Both island games with comfortable
wins. Chase to beat Centurions with 1 over left, Goffy
hitting winning runs. Finally Uni Staff tie. Final ball,
all results possible, DT hits ‘run’ (leg
bye) for the tie.
Individuals. Cheese 3 for 1 in Medics cup game. Will
century at Ponthir (only Cazh 100 in 2023). Maxy 4 for
13 in Eclipse cup game. Pat 4 for 22 at Wick to skittle
them. Goffy 5 for 11 at X Keys, despite skipper being
irritated with the game carrying on. Jack 98 and Rupert
85 as part of Malpas partnership. Rob 73 and 3 for 11
(hatrick) at Huntley.
Jack B, Nishchay, Nirnay, Robbie, Dourani x3, Drucey,
Sanay, Will Purdie, Ross and George White - 12 new players,
allowed us to be competitive and field 11 in majority
of games. Good sign for future!
Overall, a really positive season. Luvvers thankful
for support. On to 2024!
