Siva hits a quickfire 47. Buckley CC 2nds 240 for 4, Mynydd Isa & Maeshafn 1sts 150 all out. No dopplegangers of cricketing legends this week – thanks Apples for reporting on the Abergele game so well last week – and using facts rather than a clutch of (hazy) recollections (editor’s note – I understand… Continue reading MIMCC get the elbow – skipper’s match report for Buckley 2nds

(and MIMCC lose to Conwy 2nds) Editor’s note: See if you can spot links in this article to a famous band from the skipper’s teenage years..

A Windy Day, by Andrew Meakin
Pwllheli 2nds 64 all out, MIMCC 220 for 7. 15 points in the bag. Ten of us made it to Pwllheli, where unlike in sheltered Flintshire, a near gale was blowing in.

MIMCC v Pontblyddyn 2nds -Skipper’s Match Report
A pretty ground with character is Pontblyddyn and we gathered for our now customary Noonday start. Abs made a declaration of intent by being not the last, nor even second last to turn up – giving it plenty of time! Pont sat top of the league and we expected a fairly unforgiving result. We lost… Continue reading MIMCC v Pontblyddyn 2nds -Skipper’s Match Report
