This year was the 50th Anniversary of the South Wales Junior Cricket League.  As part of their celebrations they held a match between a Wales Over 50 XI and a representative U17 League XI at Pontarddulais Cricket Club. We spoke to the following officers of the club about their memories of junior cricket and the league past and present: Russell Davies, President Ian Murphy, Chairman Ben Roberts, Vice Chairman John Davies, Secretary and Treasurer There was a lot of reminiscing but also a repeated refrain of how important it was that leagues like this one exist, giving children the chance to participate in the sport of cricket and to be introduced to the competitive form of the game. The South Wales League is possibly the largest of its kind in the UK with over 30 clubs participating in its competitions that begin at Under 9 age group and go up to U17s. Anyone wishing to contact the League can do so by contacting John Davies:  John Davies, Secretary 8 Llethri Road Felinfoel, LLANELLI, Carmarthenshire Wales SA14 8HT Telephone: 01554-778951
