Amazing end to North Wales Women’s Cricket League title race – will there be a decider?
An amazing end to the 2022 North Wales Women’s Cricket League title race has seen last year’s champions Bethesda and just-crowned Hundred Ball Welsh Plate winners Colwyn Bay finish level on points.
Pesda achieved parity with the Bay on Monday night on 253 points after a win over Northop Hall in their final match.
It is believed the league is now looking at the possibility of a play-off between the top two to determine the overall champions.
In their two meetings this season, the pair hold a win apiece over each other.
Monday night saw Bethesda take on Northop Hall at Llandudno CC.
Pesda made 117-1 off their 16 overs for a net score of 312.
