Welsh Under 16s Pairs
Aaron Lloyd (Penally) and James John-Davies (Freystrop) made it to the final against Caryl Jones and Dafydd
Howells of Carmarthen only to loose on the last delivered bowl on the last
end. Final score Carmarthen 7 - 6 Pembrokeshire. We had three teams in the
quarter finals: Sophie Fry & Lara Taylor, Cameron Kilminster &
Carwyn Pratt and of course Aaron Lloyd & James John- Davies. Other Juniors
playing were, Kieran Wilkinson & Callum Wilkinson and Rhys O'Mara who
partnered Marcus Curtis from Carmarthen. Rhys was originally playing with Sara
John-Davies but unfortunately she fell over and broke her bowling arm. Hope she
is soon back playing. Every one of the Pembrokeshire players gave it their best
in front of quite a large number of spectators of which Pembrokeshire was well
represented. I was very pleased and proud of their performance. Clive Law.
