Cricket at Cresselly

Posted on 12/11/2006 in Glamorgan

Glamorgan have confirmed that their ECB Trophy match against Surrey on Bank Holiday Monday, May 28, will be played at Cresselly in Pembrokeshire.

"We are delighted to be able to fly the flag for cricket in Wales by taking the Surrey match to Pembrokeshire, and in particular to Cresselly, who in previous years have hosted several highly successful Benefit matches,. Mike Fatkin, the Glamorgan chief executive said. ..They are also the home club of our opening batsman Dan Cherry, and we hope that other Pembrokeshire players can follow in Dan`s footsteps in years to come."

Glyn Cole, the Cresselly chairman, was understandably pleased with the news. "Cresselly is honoured to host this prestigious fixture," he said. "For the first time on a Pembrokeshire ground the cricketing community can view professionals from two first-class counties playing against each other in a competitive contest. This game is a huge boost to cricket in Pembrokeshire and we look forward with eager anticipation to welcoming Glamorgan and Surrey to our ground."

This will be the first time that Cresselly will stage a major one-day game, but it isn't first time Glamorgan have played at Pembrokeshire, or at the club, which is situated north west of Tenby and Saundersfoot. Since the late 1940s. the county have played annual friendlies against Pembrokeshire and, in 1991, Cresselly staged a one-day match.
