Former Glamorgan Cricket Star to Captain Bridgend Town

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 09:52:52 +0000

After 2009 being the most successful year in the clubs history, Bridgend Town are further looking to improve by announcing former Glamorgan fast bowler Andrew Davies as their captain.

Davies, who enjoyed a 12 year professional career with the Welsh outfit, will work alongside current club coach Michael Jones.

2009 saw the three of the clubs four senior teams win promotion, as well as being granted full England and Wales cricket Board (ECB) accreditation. Thus recognising the club to be in a very strong position both on and off the field, and right through the senior and junior teams to the ladies section.

The 1st XI were the only team to play on Saturday due to the weather, but they made the most of their lucky break, beating Rogerstone by 54 runs. A win that guarantees them a top two finish.

Despite some rough going early on, with Town struggling at 67-5, Jamie Russell (67) and Rhys Clayton created a new first eleven record for the seventh wicket putting on 99, which got Town to a match winning 218.

All the Town bowlers were in great form, but pick of the attack was player/coach Mike Jones who took 4-39. Match Report
