LLANDUDNO CRICKET CLUB
Joe begins by introducing himself, talking about his early life in Bangor and Llandudno where his parents ran a little bed and breakfast business.
He describes his early sporting experiences, including his memories of the 1970 football World Cup. He 'stumbled' upon the Llandudno Oval, the club's cricket ground and was hooked by the idea of playing the game.
He was a mischievous child and got into a little trouble with other members of the club but fell in love with cricket and that love has stayed with him. He remembers the 1976 Test Series with the great West Indies side and how practicing in the back lane forced him to play straight.
Joe outlines the sporting traditions of Llandudno including rugby, hockey and football as well as cricket and recalls some of his memories of playing at the club.
He talks passionately about his work as a coach and cricket development officer with Cricket Wales in and around Llandudno with some powerful stories of connecting with young people and promoting the game in North Wales.
Joe has used his lifelong intoxication with the game of cricket to enthuse countless youngsters, some of whom will form the bedrock of the recreational game in the years to come. He is a fabulous ambassador and advocate for the game of cricket.
Everyone at the Museum of Welsh Cricket wishes him well with his ongoing work.
Thanks Joe !!

Llandudno Cricket is an amateur cricket club, with our first recorded match played in 1890. We have previously hosted first class games for Representatives of Wales and Glamorgan. Since 2003 the club has had numerous successes winning pretty much every trophy on offer in Welsh amateur cricket as well as producing many of the players that filled the ranks of the Welsh representative sides leading into the Glamorgan academy.
The club currently runs:
We have partnership agreements signed with 7 local schools to commit to working with them, to deliver free cricket sessions for their pupils. We committed to our first ever Women’s and Girls softball cricket scheme in partnership with the national governing body Cricket Wales, which ran for an 12-week period, starting June 2019 and we will be repeating this for 2020.
