The U/15 game v Llangollen has been CANCELLED due to the rain and high winds, and more rain is forecast. This ends the season for the U/15's.

U/15's - Will keep an eye on the weather this afternoon as rain forecast. Updates on the game v Llangollen will be made if the weather changes.

The U/15 game v Llangollen at Beach Close on Wednesday is ON!! Players be at Beach Close at 5.30pm please. We will keep an eye on the weather as it is forecast rain currently- updates on the day!

The Junior Stats page has been updated - link opposite. All very exciting for the u15's who enter their final week of league games v Llangollen. Where bowlers have got the same number of wickets, games played and averages etc have all been worked out for both 15's and 13's in order to separate our leading bowlers to decide end of season overall stats. Any player in these age groups wishing to know their exact batting and bowling figures please ask at Junior Training Night only and these can be worked out individually.

The 3rd XI won at home to Ainsdale. Danny Davies starred with the bat and ball. Danny got 129 runs in a thrilling 236-4 win. Danny also figured highly in bowling the opposition out for 159 getting 7 wickets.

The 1st XI lost at home to Sefton Park. Sefton batted first and scored 241-9d after 53 overs. Gaz Boughey picked up 4 wickets. Lack of concentration got PCC to 172 all out. A regional cricketer pointed out recently "if you can get 15 or 20 runs and get out you may as well get 0 as it shows a severe lack of discipline and concentration" Five players came within this region and others got ducks with the top score being Danny Thomas on 21.
The 2nd XI faired much better bowling out Hightown for 44 in total. Nathan Jones picked up no less than 6 wickets and Leo teal got 2. PCC raced to 47-1 in return.

The Management Committee meeting scheduled for Tues Aug 9th will be POSTPONED until Tues Aug 16th at 7.30pm to allow members to return from holidays etc

U/15's- Llangollen have contacted me to say they will make a definite decision on whether they are coming to Beach Close BY MONDAY NIGHT AUG 8th.

To the U/15's - As we are continuing to have no reply from Llangollen, I have to assume the game will go ahead so a team has been selected for Weds 10th August - please see selection link. In the absence of Max Jones who will be on holiday, Joe will captain the side should you play. If I hear anything from Llangollen I will post an update on this site.

The weekends 1st 2nd and 3rd XI team selections for 6/7th August are now online.

The 1st, 2nd and 3rd XI weekend team selections are now online.. link buttons opposite. If anyone is ill, drops out, etc please contact the appropriate team captain - Dave Harris, Andy Taylor and Nathan Jones as Barrie is away this weekend please. Get in touch with the team captain asap so a replacement can be found quickly. Thanks.

The U15's lost their first game of the season in an under par display at Beach Close. Denbigh batted first and stroked balls to the boundaries freely. PCC took 4 wickets Stephen Edwards (Prestatyn) taking 1-9, Steve Edwards (Rhyl) 1-23 Keiran Tierney 1-10 and Olivia Fuller 1-17. Denbigh made 123-4. A good total but PCC have chased that down before. However our top 4 bats were out cheaply with the exception of Max Jones who scored 23. Olivia and Stephen managed to hold up the batting so we were not bowled out. We ended on 65-6 off 20 overs.We travel to Connahs Quay next week to try our luck at the league title there. A more disciplined batting performance is needed.

The final junior league positions for the U/13's and U11's are: U13's finished 2nd in the league on 32 points behind Northop on 38 points. The U/11's finished 4th in the league on 28 points behind leaders Northop on 42, N Hall on 34 and Mold on 30. The U15's still have 3 league games to go.

Come on down to Beach Close tonight at 6.15pm as the U15's take on Denbigh. A win tonight sees the U15's win the League - but there are still a further 2 games to go and one win in 3 sees the title come home to Prestatyn. So come and show your support for our team!

The U/11's won their last league game of the season at home to Denbigh. Our Bowlers and fielders did well. Harry got 2-2, Matty 2-2, Bethan 1-0 and David 1-2. Denbigh scored 256-6 net. Prestatyn did quite well with the bat also- Sheil got 15, Matty 13 and Luca 11. A good team effort getting 262-6 net. Final league positions will be available in the next 48 hours.

Carribbean Day - Sunday July 24th - Come down to Beach Close to see a PCC XI v The Carribbeans anytime after 12 noon. A great day out and who knows the sun may shine!

The U 15 selections for the next 2 games - at home to Denbigh 27 July and away at C Quay on 3 August are now online together. Max Jones' dad has kindly offered to drive the minibus on 3 August so make sure you are at Beach Close by 5pm sharp please. One more win in our last 3 games will see the U15's crowned League Champions!

The 1st and 2nd XI weekend team selections are now online. There is no 3rd XI game on Sunday as PCC are hosting the Carribbean game v our 1st XI. A great day out at Beach Close on Carnival weekend!

The U/13's won in a close encounter at Beach Close v Buckley. It was like groundhog day as many lads from both sides had played in the 15's the night before! PCC bowled first and fielding was quite tight and bowling likewise. Faiz Shah took a wicket - looking more like an all rounder by the day!. Buckley finished on a tasty 112-2. PCC started the chase well Joe Horton and Ben Wistow-Hughes both retiring on 30 n/o and everyone chipping in with good scores and some fine batting to see us finish on 113-3 off 19.1 overs. A Good season end win on a high sees the 13's finish 2nd in the league on 32 points behind Northop. A good season for all the lads and girls who played and we look forward to seeing you all on presentation night. End of season Junior stats are on the Junior Stats to date link opposite.

The U15's won an intense nailbiter of a game away at Buckley. Uncharacteristically both our openers who shall remain nameless (Max and Joe) got out cheaply with 4 and 11 runs each so PCC needed a hero and in walked Faiz Shah! Like a beacon of light he strode to a magnificent 42 not out with other batsmen coming and going while PCC got to 88-5 off 20 overs. A bowling display was needed and PCC did not disappoint! Joe Horton got a triple wicket maiden getting 3-11 while Stephen Edwards (Prestatyn) got 2-13. Other useful wickets came from Ben Wistow-Hughes, Steve Edwards (Rhyl) and Nathan B Jones. PCC severely restricted Buckley to 77-8 and superb fielding by Liam King also stemmed the opposition. A close call but with a few missing on holiday the U/15's worked together as a team very well. With 40 points and 10 points clear of 2nd placed Denbigh, PCC need to keep level heads in the final 3 games. Well done boys!

U/15's - Reminder - Make sure you are at Beach Close for the away trip to Buckley at 5pm this evening thanks.

The U/11 game away at Pontblyddyn was abandoned, as on arrival there was heavy rain and the pitch was under water. 2 points each for both sides in these circs.

The 3rd XI game has been CANCELLED due to rain in Liverpool and a bad forecast for the rest of the day.

The 1st XI lost dismally at home to Wallasey on Saturday getting 114 all out despite a spirited performance by Dave Harris (47) and Danny Davies getting 4 wickets as well as the pro Warren Groeneveld. Wallasey batted first and PCC were chasing down 221.
The 2nd XI game away at Rainford was cancelled due to rain!

The U/15 and U/13 Team Selections for next week are now online.

At this time of year it is essential all Senior and Junior Players who are going on holiday/days out etc communicate their unavailability on the UNAVAILABILITY link opposite. It saves so much time for coaches and the Cricket Committee if they know you are unavailable in advance of selection meetings.

The weekend team selections for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd XI are now online.

Junior League Update: The U15's are top of Division 2 on 36 points with Buckley on 26 points as second. The U13's are 2nd in the league behind Northop on 24 points to Northop's 30. The U11's are 4th on 22 points behind Northop's 34.

The 13's and 15's mixed sides up to compete in a 21 over friendly at Beach Close as both their league games were conceded. Max Jones and Joe Horton captained their 6 a side teams who could retire at 50. Joe's side won the toss and elected to bat and Joe, Ben Wistow-Hughes and James Weaver retired on 53, 52 and 50 each The field were vocal and Stephen Edwards (Rhyl) got his highest score of 14 n/0 with the bat. Joe's team ended on 190-1 ( a real batting wicket!) Chasing the target, Max Jones retired on 51 then had to come back in at the end and got bowled on 30, but had a cumulative total of 81. Jason Edwards scored a personal best of 23 while Lyam Bolton and James Weaver took the wickets with Lyam 3-9 off 3 overs and James 2-11 off 2 overs. Max's team finished on 125 off 18 overs when interest waned a little! A good summer's evening of cricket and a welcome break. Next week sees both 13's and 15's face Buckley home and away when the 15's in particular need to keep up their winning ways with availability due to holidays becoming an issue!

My brother cant play in the mixed junior game tonight because he is doing work experience.

The winning number for the 175 club monthly prize draw for £500 was No 85 - Nathan and Ashley Jones!

The U/11's had a good win at home to St Asaph. Taking advantage of the batting wicket the opposition got 261-2, but PCC were too strong and got 295-1 with Sheil Sethi getting 29. Well done 11's!

The friendly game for the mixed sides of 13's and 15's on Wednesday will consist of a "coaching game". The game will be stopped intermittently with examples of both good and bad practice highlighted and ways to improve. ALL u 13's and U15'S are invited - 5.30pm at Beach Close.

The 1st XI lost away to Southport and Birkdale by 75 runs. The opposition were 238-4 with Gaz Friday picking up 2 wickets. PCC went into bat with the pro Warren Groeneveld getting 90 and Gaz Boughey getting 41, but the rest fell like a pack of cards from Batsman 7 down getting 1's and O's. A disappointing innings from PCC this week left us on 163 all out.
The 2nd XI meanwhile picked up a superb home win! Batting first Chris Young (22) and Joe Horton (25) made a good start while Andy Taylor got 66 and Max Jones 23 n/o. Andy declared on 177-7. Moorfield went into bat and Scott Williams soon had the wickets tumbling and ended up getting his 5-fer on 5-36. Joe Horton also opened and got 2-36. The opposition captain NO.3 bat put up a spirited 60 but PCC were too strong for them and they ended on 157 all out and PCC won by 20 runs.

The 3rd XI fixture home to Wallasey has been conceded and CANCELLED by the opposition as they have pulled their 4th XI out of the league due to transportation issues - just the same as PCC are suffering currently! No help and no team - sadly many clubs will suffer the same fate if volunteers do not help out.

The minibus is back for the seniors this weekend!

CANCELLATION OF JUNIOR TRAINING NIGHT: Due to the rain continuing to drizzle and the forecast for more rain we are cancelling tonights junior training.

Notice from The Cricket Committee:
Senior and Juniors Playing Senior Cricket: Any player either senior or junior playing senior cricket MUST pay their tea money with no exceptions. An audit has revealed that many people are NOT paying tea money. The club can no longer afford to subsidise teas, therefore a player cannot be selected if they will not pay tea money.

We will make a decision on the weather re junior training around 5.30pm.

The weekends 1st, 2nd and 3rd XI team selections are now online!

Robbie Rimmington and Joe Horton have both been named in the LDCC U/15 rep side to play against Lancashire County League this Sunday. Good Luck lads!

Congratulations to Olivia Fuller and Katie Brewerton who performed very well on the N E Wales Girls tour of Cardiff. Olivia opened the batting v Gwent and stayed in for 23 overs, frustrating the Gwent bowlers. Katie Brewerton batted v Cardiff and produced some excellent shots also. Well done girls for representing the region and PCC!

The U/15's came very close to losing the game against bottom placed Mold. With a good start from Max Jones retiring on 43 and Joe Horton retiring on 40, wickets fell like dominoes and only due to wides did PCC get to 135-4. With no obvious wicket keeper, it was down to two of our bowlers to keep for 10 overs each - not ideal - and PCC allowed the two opening Mold batsmen to retire on 41 and 40. PCC now faced an uphill struggle. Joe Horton took 2-15 off 3 overs on a soaking pitch as rain intervened with play but we did not manage to take another wicket. Mold finished on 134-2 so PCC won by 1 run. Not our finest hour but a win is a win and we remain top and clear of the table by 12 points. Many thanks to Mr Edwards and Tim Cowsill for helping out with transport in my absence. It is much appreciated thank you.

just to let everyone know, myself and Ben cownsill are going striaght to Mold due to his mum working late.

U/13's - I can confirm that we have a free week this week.. so take a rest!.. and then St Asaph have just told me that they are unable to raise a side for the fixture on Thurs 14 July. I will arrange an inter house fixture with PCC U/15's to give us all a game on July 14th.. I will talk to you all at Friday training night about this.

The U/11's narrowly lost to table topping Northop in a close encounter away from home. Batting first PCC got a very good 275-2 with Ben on 20 and Sheil on 20 also. Northop are used to beating sides by taking many wickets so they were surprised at PCC's tenacity. Northop got 311 -1 in the end. PCC U11's are 6th in the league currently.

Reminder to U/15's - Please be at Beach Close at 5pm for the away trip to Mold on Wednesday. I have arranged lifts for only the lads who spoke up last Friday night plus the pro -Warren. If anyone else turns up WITHOUT transport on the night then you will have to stay at home as there is no space available now at all. Please do NOT let your team down. I am away in Cardiff with N E Wales Girls on tour so there is nothing I can do on Wednesday as I won't be here. Play well for Gaz Leonard and the pro who will be in charge of you on Weds!

The 3rd XI had a glorious away win at Old Xaverians. PCC batted first and Danny Davies scored 70, Ryan Westwell 37 and Robbie Rimmington was 48 not out when Danny Davies the stand in captain for the 3rds declared on 233 -6. The PCC bowling attack was effective: Leo Teal 4-3 off 5.2 overs, Danny Davies 4-14 off 7, while birthday boy Steve Edwards took 1-12 off 4. Another birthday boy Faiz Shah showed his new enthusiasm for fielding with a fine catch to celebrate his 13th birthday and Old Xaverians ended on 87 all out. While the more experienced 3rds who play higher tiers of cricket excelled, it was great to see some of the younger juniors make great contributions.

The 1st XI drew away to Liverpool with Dave Harris getting 111 - see report opposite.

The 2nd XI fielding the youngest side in the season,lost at home to Alder. Alder declared on 206-4. Chris Young battled bravely with the bat to get 44 and Andy Taylor got a captains innings of 53, but our young team lacked the batting depth and were 156 all out. A Brave performance in the circs.

The U/15's team selection for the game away at Mold on Weds July 6th is now online - link button opposite. Meet at Beach Close at 5pm with transport please. I have tonight arranged transport for those who need it. I will not be there personally on Wednesday - do not let me down please as you will be letting the U/15 team down and I will get to hear about it on my return!

The U/13's won away at Hawarden Park. PCC batted first and Joe Horton retired on 32,Ben Wistow-Hughes got 26, Faiz Shah 17. PCC raced to 151-8. Good bowling which kept the scores tight saw M Edwards get 3-8, and Joe Horton, Ben Wistow-Hughes and Luca Horton all chipping in with a wicket apiece. Olivia Fuller fielded for the opposition and took a wonderful catch to get one of our opening bats out! Hawarden Park finished on 85-6. The 13's take a free week next week and then home games remain!

U/13's - Please be at Beach Close for 5pm sharp WITH TRANSPORT for the trip to Hawarden Park tonight. Anyone going straight there they are now playing on a pitch opposite Hawarden High School. If we do not have enough transport the match will be cancelled
