LLANDUDNO Cricket Club are still waiting for their fate to be decided after the conclusion of the North Wales Premier League season.
Tudno found themselves second in the table after winning their weekend fixture against Mold, despite being docked 18 points and having a game in hand on champions Connah’s Quay, who lead the way by 36 points.
With a title deciding 48 points potentially up for grabs, Llandudno Chairman John Rimmington has indicated that the club are still looking to re-arrange their outstanding league fixture with now relegated Pwllheli, as well as making an appeal to the North Wales Cricket League over their points penalty.
“We’re still in contact with Pwllheli Cricket Club about re-arranging our league fixture, and we invite the league to the Oval to further discuss this,” he said.
“We will also be in touch shortly regarding the points deduction.”
Duncan Midgley and captain Steve Smith, who finishes the season as the league’s top run scorer with 1115 from 20 games, put together 61 runs for the first wicket.
Tudno lost the next four wickets for just 16 runs, with Owen Jones and Gordon Kerr, who put in a superb shift despite injury, pairing up to save the innings with a 93 run partnership for the seventh wicket.
Llandudno went on to declare on 226 for nine in the 47th over, and Jack Rimmington immediately set about the Mold batsmen with the first wicket in the third over.
Steady wickets then saw the Mold line-up crumble, finishing on 83 all out in the 19th over as Luke Regan took a five wicket haul for just 12 runs, backed up by Rimmington’s three for 36.
Llandudno Seconds shared the spoils in their weekend game against Menai Bridge.
A patient 28 from Lewis Jones and 46 from captain Matthew Lambe got Tudno off to a strong start, before a hard hitting 75 from Kev James gave the innings a shot in the arm as Llandudno finished on 210 for eight from their 52 overs.
Menai made a bright start in response with 41 runs from the opening six overs, but Jamie Light’s introduction to the bowling attack bore immediate results.
In tandem with Graham Boase, the duo slowed the scoring and chipped away at the batting order, with Light taking two for 14.
Andy Christian broke through in his second spell and Boase mopped up three wickets, but Bridge held out to finish on 170 for eight after 48 overs.
