Get ready for the North Wales Cricket League Premier Division’s clash of the season

Get ready for the clash of the season in the North Wales Cricket League Premier Division on Saturday.

Champions St Asaph entertain current leaders Menai Bridge in cricket’s equivalent of the six-pointer at Elwy Park Grove (12 pm start).

Second-place Saints trail the Bridge by 14 points with six games apiece left.

A win for Menai tomorrow would make them red-hot favourites to regain the title they last won in 2018.

However, if Asaph end up victorious it will set up a tantalising run-in to end the season.

Anglesey-based Bridge have a remarkable record of 16 wins from 16 games in 2022 which includes a 65-run success over the Saints at Tyn-y-Caeau back in May.

St Asaph have lost just twice in 16 matches all season.
