Come on Builth! 🔵🔴

Our next group of cricketers , many of whom were playing their first cricket match, turned out in a softball game against our visitors from Hay-on-Wye Cricket Club this evening . Excellent performances all round and much learning in the process . At this stage it’s all about taking part and building confidence. And demonstrating the pathway from Dynamos Cricket into competitive cricket.

While this was going on it’s so encouraging to see the numbers turning up for our hard ball sessions . Our visitors were most impressed !!

Well done all and parents for your ongoing support. Sorry , camera was redundant tonight.

A hugely enjoyable day's cricket at Builth today. Wales Over 50s Friendly XI 247-5 North Wales Senior Cricket 162 all out. Builth's own Eurig Towns played for North Wales whilst Nathan Howell umpired.
