LLECHRYD cricketers are looking forward to the biggest game in their 43-year history after reaching the quarters-finals of the Harrison-Allen Bowl for the first time.
Batsman Joe Mansfield struck an unbeaten 70 and James Heneker weighed in with four wickets for 26 as the Teifi Valley outfit beat Whitland by four wickets to book their place in the last four of Pembrokeshire’s most prestigious cup tournament last night.
Llechryd now face a quarter-final tie away to early Division Two leaders Herbrandston on Monday, June 20.
Although they will be starting as underdogs, Llechryd – who turn out three teams along with two women’s sides, 140 juniors and a senior over-50s side from their Castell Malgwyn headquarters – will be looking to upset the odds against Herbie next month.
