Burton Ladies Cricket Club played Cresselly Ladies Cricket Club in the Skelfayre Cup Final (sponsored by G. G. T. Thomas and Son Ltd) at Hook Cricket Club on Sunday, July 13. With Burton winning the toss, they elected to field first. Cresselly had a slow start, with tight bowling from Ffion Ashman (1-26) and Rebecca Jones (1-16) restricting them early on, but with Sophie Arthur (17), Eleri Williams (36*) and Lauren Arthur (16) at the crease, they ended on 85-4 in the 20 overs. Cresselly opened the bowling with Megan Jenkins (1-14) and Lauren Arthur (1-12), whilst Finola Scale (14) and Elaine Scale opened the batting for Burton. After an early caught and bowled by Megan Jenkins, Elaine Scale (6) was dismissed from the crease. Eleri Williams and Sophie Arthur bowled outstandingly, taking four wickets each, and a special mention to Rachel Hughes behind the stumps for taking three catches and a stumping, meaning that Burton were 53 all out. After tea, with Cresselly holding a lead of 27, Burton needed to keep their bowling tight in order to keep the run rate down. Rebecca Williams (10) and Megan Jenkins (36) opened the batting for Cresselly, while Burton opened the bowling with Ffion Ashman and Rebecca Jones (2-13). Rebecca Williams was out in the fourth over, which led to Eleri Williams (34) pushing up the run rate until she was run out by Finola Scale (1-20). Cresselly finished on 89-5, and with their lead of 27, it meant that Burton needed 117 to win. Finola Scale and Elaine Scale opened the batting for Burton, while Megan Jenkins and Lauren Arthur opened the bowling for Cresselly. Burton had a great start, with mother and daughter at the crease making quick singles and boundaries until Elaine Scale was caught by wicket-keeper Rachel Hughes off the bowling of Rebecca Williams(2-27). Finola Scale went on to make a tremendous 53 not out, while her sister Llewela Scale helped with a quick 17, which led to a very close and exciting finish. With Burton needing one off the last over, Llewela Scale managed to get a quick single, which made Burton Ladies Skelfayre Cup winners for 2014, with Cresselly Ladies runners-up. It was a great day for ladies cricket and a special thanks to Hook Cricket Club ground staff and to the ladies for providing teas. Man of the match was the captain of Burton - Finola Scale.
