Hereford
118 all out |
124 for 6 |
Gwent won by
6 runs |
Gwent were put into bat first and were tied down
at the start by good Hereford bowling. The openers stuck
to their task and saw off the new ball with Ryan Avery making a
solid 34 and Lewys Jones getting 38 off 41 balls. Gwent finished on
a respectable 124-6 off 30 overs.
Hereford lost wickets at regular intervals in reply and were 68-7
off 15 overs at the drinks break with Aadam Hassan taking 3 wickets
and Roddy Thomas 2 in 2 balls. Two spirited partnerships nearly won
the game for Hereford who just fell 6 runs short after a fine run
out by Matthew Hancock.

West Glamorgan
136 for 9 |
135 for 6 |
West Glamorgan won by 1 wkt |
Gwent won the toss and elected to bat and got off
to a great start with 30 being scored off seven overs but then lost
3 wickets in two overs to slow down the run rate. Nevertheless,
Robbie Clarke joined Sam Hope-Bell, who went on to make a fifty, and the runs began to
flow again and Gwent finished on a creditable 135-6.
In reply West Glam had the worst possible start with Dewi Thomas
bowling a wicket maiden in the first over. They then
progressed steadily until the introduction of skipper Robbie
Clarke who took a hat-trick in his first over. However, it was 9
year-old Nathan Lee who won the game for West Glam, by the closest
of margins, with a superb battling 34 not out
Best Performances: Robert Clarke 31
& 4-9, Sam Hope-Bell 54, Dewi Thomas 2-11,
Aadam Hassan, Matthew Hancock and Roddy Thomas
each took one wicket. |

Devon
68 for 1 |
67 all out |
Devon
won by 9 wkts |
Gwent were asked to bat first by a very strong
Devon side and all the batsmen struggled against very good line and
length bowling. Only opener Ryan Avery made any impression and Gwent
were bowled out for 67 in 29 overs. Gwent only had one success
when Devon batted and that was a run out as Devon reached their
target of 68 in 16 overs.
This was a steep learning curve for a Gwent team with four
players still under nine but they gave their all against a much more
experienced opposition.
Best Performance: Ryan Avery 19 |
|
Berkshire
186 for 9 |
102 all out |
Berkshire won
by 84 runs |
Berkshire won the toss and batted first but some
some tight bowling and spirited fielding by Gwent reduced them to 75
– 5 off 20 overs. They recovered well through an eighth
wicket partnership of 76 to reach a very competitive total of 186-9
off 35 overs.
In reply Gwent got off to a great start with Sam Hope-Bell and
Matthew Hancock putting on 50 for the first wicket in only 9 overs.
Good bowling by Berkshire, plus some poor strokes by some of the
following Gwent batsmen, led to them being bowled out in 25 overs.
Best Performances:Sam
Hope-Bell 36, Dewi
Thomas 2-12, Josh Kunz 2-25, Thomas Lynbeck 1-6 |
|
Wiltshire
152 for 6 |
83 all out |
Wiltshire won
by 69 runs |
Wiltshire were put into bat and this was
justified when Gwent reduced them to 36-4 off 9 overs. However, a
fifth wicket partnership of 70 in the next 18 overs turned it around
and Wiltshire finally finished on 152-6 off their 35 overs.
Aadam Hassan and Robbie Clarke bowled well, each taking two wickets,
with Matthew Hancock and Lewys Jones taking one apiece.
In reply, Gwent got off
to a disastrous start being reduced to 15-4 off only 6 overs and
never recovered and were bowled out for only 83 in 29.5 overs. Ryan
Avery, Jack Turner and Georgia Parfitt battled hard
in adversity but the Wiltshire bowlers proved too strong in the end.
Best Performances:
Aadam Hassan 2-8, Robbie Clarke 2-14, Jack Turner 16, Ryan
Avery 15, Georgia Parfitt 14 |
|
Dorset 75
for 4 |
73 all out |
Dorset won by
6 wickets |
Gwent batted first on a wicket of variable bounce
and struggled against some very accurate Dorset bowling. Only Ryan
Avery and Lewis Jones made double figures and Gwent were bowled out
for only 73.
This was always going to be very hard total to defend but Gwent
stuck to the task admirably taking 4 Dorset wickets before the end.
Best Performances:
Aadam Hassan 1-5, Adil Hassan
1-5, Dewi Thomas 1-7
and a catch, Jack Turner 1-10, Ryan Avery 11, Lewis Jones 11 |

Cardiff & Vale
158 for 6 |
88 all out |
Cardiff & Vale
won by 70 runs |
Cardiff batted first and had a great start with
A. Sylvester and G. Powell putting on 107 for the first wicket.
Gwent fought back however, despite dropping several catches,
with Sam Hope-Bell and Jack Turner both taking 2 wickets and Cardiff
closed on 158-6.
Tight Cardiff bowling and fielding restricted Gwent to 88 all out
with only Lewys Jones, Robert Clarke and David Clarke reaching
double figures.
Best Performances:
Lewys Jones 26, Robert Clarke 15, David Clarke, Sam Jack Turner 2-4,
