Pwllheli Cricket Club

Pwllheli Sports Club

The first recorded game in the town took place in 1870 and cricket continued to be played until the Second World War in 1940. The club was re-established at a public meeting in the Toc H Rooms on the 4th of March 1954. MANWEB employees had been playing friendly games for a year or two previously and they formed the backbone of the new Pwllheli team.

Amongst the highlights of recent years is Howard Gill’s magnificent score of 165 against Benllech in 1989 and Gary Williams’s 10 wickets for 14 runs against Menai Bridge in 1987. Duncan Maclean remains the only player to have made 500 appearances and John Llew the only one to take 1000 wickets. Nine players have scored centuries with Neil Williams leading the way on six. The club is extremely proud of the achievements of two players who have represented Wales, James Verity in 1989 and Ben Jones in 2003

In addition to the varied sporting activities the Sports Club can cater for all types of social events within a safe, convenient and homely atmosphere, an ideal venue for children's parties.
