Our Cricket Wales Over 50s team enjoyed the privilege of following many of the First Class counties by embarking on a pre-season jaunt in the sunshine. A week in Malta proved to be a suitable appetizer for the forthcoming season. One match was won off the last ball. Although our chaps batted well in the second match, the opposition succeeded in chasing down the total.
