Cricket in Cardiff/ Close South Wales
« on: March 12, 2012, 07:54:31 PM »

Hello All,

Usually I play for my home club in Essex but this year I am away for mid/June and July and don't want to hit mid season in August without having picked up a bat.

As such I'd like to play for a club near where I am at University in Cardiff from Late April until Mid June.

Does anyone know of a friendly bunch where I could play some casual cricket? Obviously I've found a few teams online but thought I'd check on here if there was anyone who could help me out!

All the best,
Will

Love the way Tino is always linked with Essex Club cricket. I could swear he has signed for a club side in the midlands or up north. Dont quote me on it though.

Hi Will :)

I play for Panteg CC, based just outside Newport. We have several players based in Cardiff; one of our 1st teamers was last years Cardiff MCCE captain and we also have ex Glamorgan player David Harrison back with us this season.

 Previous club players Will Bragg and John Glover are current Glamorgan professionals, and we even had a representative at the last world cup; Bermuda's Steve Outerbridge spent a summer with us a few years back.

The club has arguably the best ground in South Wales and hosts Glam 2nds / Wales Minor Counties / Wales age group games. We run 4 adult Saturday sides, 2 on a Sunday and also a midweek team.  We're a friendly club with strong traditions mixed with a lively social scene.

If that has got you interested, drop me a PM!

I should mention that I was told by fellow players, in the pub and late on a Friday night so I may well have been having my leg pulled, what with being in University in Wales one gets rather out of touch with Essex!
