Corwen CC 2nds travelled to Northop CC 3rds on Sunday, but unfortunately came away on the wrong side of the result.

Before the match, both teams observed a minute’s silence in memory of John Wildman. A huge thank you to Northop for joining us in paying our respects.

Batting first, Corwen posted 114 all out from 31.1 overs. The highlight of the innings was a fantastic maiden half-century from Sonny Mellor – a brilliant achievement and thoroughly deserved. Congratulations Sonny on reaching your first 50 for the club! Valuable contributions also came from Caleb D**e and Steff Lloyd, who both chipped in with good knocks.

In reply, Northop started with intent and quickly put themselves in control of the chase. Young Jack Shuttleworth and Dave Evans opened the bowling for Corwen and gave everything for the team. Caleb D**e claimed the only wicket of the innings, while the lads continued to battle hard in the field and never gave up despite the difficult situation.

Congratulations to Sonny Mellor, who was named Man of the Match for his excellent innings.

A massive thank you to Northop for being great hosts. We wish them all the best for the rest of the season.

The 2nds are next in action on 27th June with an away trip to Llandudno CC 2nds.

Many congratulations to our U9s today and also to Bala CC U9s. Two really good games with lots of good batting, bowling and fielding from everybody. It’s great to see everyone improving and having fun on a lovely sunny morning.

Big congratulations to Eli Roberts who got her first wicket, 🙌, but missed the team photo as she had to leave early to get to the zoo! 😀

Looking forward to more fun cricket next week.

Practices for U9s are on Friday evenings 6.00-7.00pm at the War Memorial Park. If you know of a young person who wants to get involved, bring them along!

🏏 Corwen Women’s Cricket – Sunday Round-Up 🏏

A fantastic day of cricket for our ladies on Sunday, with one win and one nail-biting defeat!

Our first game was against Ruthin, who batted first and finished with a net score of 276. A great bowling performance from Corwen saw Rhian take 2 wickets and Georgia claim 1 wicket.

The batting was outstanding, with plenty of boundaries and only 3 wickets lost as the team chased down the target to finish on a net score of 293 and secure the win! 👏

The second game against Brymbo was a much closer affair. Corwen batted first and posted a strong net score of 311, with Lucy top scoring with 17 runs and Hannah adding a vital 11 runs.

Brymbo managed to edge the game by just 3 runs, finishing on 314. Kath picked up the only wicket for Corwen during the bowling innings.

A huge well done to all the ladies for their efforts, teamwork and positive attitude throughout the day. Lots of great cricket played and plenty to be proud of! 💙

Thank you to Brymbo Cricket Club for hosting 🏏

We have some very sad news to share. Our great friend and team-mate, John Wildman, tragically passed away last night.

As a mark of our great fondness and respect for John, our teams playing today have held a minute’s silence in his honour before the start of the match.

John, left-hand end of the back row in the team photo and shown on the left receiving an end of season award from Simon Harrison, was an elegant opening batsman. He played many fine innings both for Corwen and also for Newport Fugitives during the several years he spent living and working in South Wales.

Beyond that, however, John was a pillar of our club. As one of our coaches, he put in many hours helping our juniors to begin their cricketing journeys. He also did an enormous amount of unpaid work in raising money for the club and the wider community. From a new electronic scoreboard to new rollers and mowers - John was behind most big ticket purchases that the club has made in recent years.

John was passionate about developing the club and getting people to play sport in general. His philosophy was very much “Build it and they will come”. And he took this to another level with the amazing, new tennis courts, for which he secured the funding - a truly amazing facility for a small community.

However, John was much more to us in Corwen cricket club than the runs he scored, the young cricketers he coached or the money he raised. John was a true and much loved friend. We were all very fond of John and are devastated that he has been taken from us and all of his family and friends so young.

To accompany the photo of the minute’s silence, Simon Harrison, one our longest serving players and members wrote the following, which gives a good sense of the emotions we all feel just now:

“This is for you @⁨John Wildman.⁩ Someone I grew up with in Llandrillo. You didn’t say a lot, but you didn’t have to my friend. True ambassador for cricket - not only Corwen, but when I played my first game for Wales down south, the club we played only had good things to say about how you changed their club around and all the kit you got for them was amazing.

Another taken way too early. God seems to take the wrong people for some reason. Only God knows why. Maybe he plays tennis Jonny and needs a new fancy, dancy, all singing court up there! But, I know one thing: I will miss you and so will Corwen CC.

See you again .

Si “

Rest easy dear John.

As part of National Volunteers' Week, we want to take this opportunity to thank the incredible volunteers who make our club what it is.
From Llyr and Carl, who prepare pitches and support our coaching sessions, to Joel, who has dedicated many years to coaching our junior section and continues to do so today.
A special mention also goes to Kevin, our Chairman, whose hard work behind the scenes over the past few years has been instrumental in establishing our two junior teams and women's team.
We'd also like to thank all our captains, seniors women’s and Girls and all who work tirelessly each week to ensure we can field teams and get games on.
Without the commitment, passion, and countless hours given by our volunteers, we simply wouldn't be able to enjoy the game we all love.
Thank you to every volunteer who gives their time to our club — your efforts are truly appreciated. 💙🏏
