Organiser Craig Butland told the Herald: “I came up with the idea on my own and wanted to give it a try this summer after being granted permission from Richard Merriman PCCC Chairman, as well as the County Executive.

“At Pembroke Dock I am always looking for and arranging midweek T20 friendlies against clubs across the County so I thought about setting up this midweek T20 competition – since I have made contact with clubs and broke the news on social media, I have been overwhelmed with the response and the support I have received, I am grateful for it all and I am hoping the competition can be a success leading on to a bigger and longer competition next season.

“The draw has been completed, comprising of three groups – fixtures starting Monday, July 25, with finals day scheduled for SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, at Pembroke Dock CC.

“I would like to thank all the teams who have entered, all the umpires who have stepped forward to officiate and lastly good luck to all players and scorers competing in this event. I hope you have a blast! Please follow for regular updates on Facebook and Twitter ‘Pembs T20 Midweek Competition.”
