This year’s final was between the top two sides, from the North Zones with Kilgetty beating Whitland in the group stage and then Hook in the semi-final whilst Whitland beat Neyland in the other semi.

Captain of Kilgetty Jamie Keating won the toss against his counterpart Charlie Bujega of Whitland and decided to bowl first. Both teams had very strong bowling outfits and in both innings the ball dominated the bat.

Whitland ran out as deserved winners on the night, beating Kilgetty by 35 runs

In the presentation after the match, Martin Jones (Junior Organiser) congratulated both sides on reaching the final and their coaches Trefor Badham and Mark Lee were also given great praise for their hard work. He also thanked St Ishmaels for hosting the final, including Kevin Bowen and Chris Bradshaw for their work on the ground.

Wendy Bradshaw, Pat Williams and the ladies section were thanked for providing the food for the player and spectators.

He thanked umpires Allan Hansen and Ian Milsom and the scorers Becki Badham and Darren Bujega who all contributed to the evening’s entertainment for a large crowd at St Ishmaels CC.

Last and by no means least Martin thanked sponsors Colin John of Llewelyn Davies & Co Chartered Accountants for his continued and valuable support of Junior Cricket in the County. It was also great to see Richard Merriman County Chairman and Trefor Evans County President in attendance.

The winning trophy now in its 48th year, donated by the family of the late Stan Richards and John Bowen looked a picture. It was great to see Georgina Morgan, daughter of John whose grandson Ollie Rees presented the winning trophy to Whitland County Chairman.

This year there was also the Inaugural Player of the Match Cup in memory of the late Bill Roberts (another St Ishmaels stalwart) presented and donated by his son Evan to Whitland Captain Charlie Bujega for his all round contribution to the game.
