Menai Bridge (14) 304-6 Pwllheli (1) 223-10

Captain Gethin Roberts produced the star knock of 77 not out as Bridge kept their title quest firmly on course at Tyn-y-Caeau Drive.

The hosts maintained their run of luck with the toss and chose to bat, piling up 304-6 off 50 overs.

Jack Gower (59) and Dion Holden (15) put on 78 for the first wicket, then Robbie Jones (44) and skipper Roberts added 94 for the fifth.

Chris Moore (28 no) and Drickus Visagie (24 no) ensured the Anglesey side passed the 300-mark, Logan Rhys Morgan taking 3-40 and Christopher Taylor 3-49 for Pwll.

Taylor was the shining light when the visitors batted, hitting 116 not out – his joint highest first team score – in a total of 223 all out.

It was Taylor’s third century of 2022 and fifth ton in all for the club. He has amassed 964 league runs for the first team this season.

Skipper Jason Underwood – now on 898 league runs in 2022 – was second highest contributor at Tyn-y-Caeau with 30.

Mochdre (1) 91-10 Llandudno (14) 92-2

Jack Rimmington claimed second-best senior career bowling figures of 6-18 as Llandudno romped to an eight-wicket win in Saturday’s derby at Swan Road.

Former skipper Rimmington, who passed 600 wickets for the club in the process, only just missed out on bettering his finest-ever analysis of 6-14 at Llanrwst back in 2014.

Mochdre opted to bat and were all out for 91, Tom Thornton (3-36) providing good back-up to fellow new-baller Rimmington.

In reply, Tudno cruised to 92-2 in 20.4 overs, Sam Rimmington continuing his superb season by cracking 69 off 55 balls – 11 fours and a six – to reach 846 league runs and 1,123 in all matches this season.

Northop (13) 215-7 Llay Welfare (2) 156-10
