Llantwit Fardre continued their season with two
defeats against Cardiff Gymkhanna.
The first eleven played at home and only just lost
out in a high scoring game. Gymkhanna batted first and rattled up a
formidable score of 291-9 on a fast track and fast outfield. For the
Cardiff side I Jaura scored 84, A Rafiq 41, and P Joakan 64 aided
by some indifferent fielding from the home side. Most of the Llantwit
bowlers were either injured or not available and it showed as they were
put to the sword. There were good performances by Chris Garwood (4-59)
and Neil Pike (2-50)
However the Llantwit batting responded well and
went for the runs to record 266-8 in a fine run chase. Ceri Sweeney (77)
and Neil Pike (57) led the way backed up by Callum Garwood (30), Gareth
Wyatt (23) and Scott Yoxall (19 no).
The second eleven played away in Cardiff and were
soundly beaten. Gymkhanna scored 260-6 with T Ahmed top scoring with 86
no and U Ijaz 43. Best bowler for Llantwit was young Stuart Clarke with
2-53. Nick Hughes (24) was the only Llantwit batsman to reach
double figures in a disappointing reply of 89 all out
