Jenkins Bakery shows its support to Llanelli Squash Club

By Robert Lloyd

The club fielded five teams in the South Wales and West Glamorgan leagues during last season.

Overall, the season was very successful, with the club benefiting from developing younger players and bringing them into the team.

A club spokesman said: “We are very grateful to the Jenkins Bakery, who sponsored kit for all five teams.”

The first team played in South Wales premier ‘B’ division and benefitted from the return of Andrew Neale to the club. Andrew played at No1 string and was unbeaten during the season.

The emergence of Sam Weeds helped keep the team towards the top of the league however the team missed out on promotion to Premier ‘A’ by one point.

The team will be looking to get promotion to the top division in the first half of next season.

The ‘B’ team had a solid season with Mark Davies and Jeremy Rowlands performing admirably at the top of the order and Sam Weeds again gaining some vital wins. Mark Richards was team player of the year benefitting from his many years experience. Hopefully, Liam Stafford will return to fitness next season and with a full team promotion should be attainable next season.

The ‘C’ and ‘D’ teams finished mid table in their respective divisions with Dafydd Parkman showing his potential for the future with good performances.

The ‘E’ team again gave younger players the opportunity to represent the club. Rhys Westcott captained the team and gained some good wins and the Parkman twins showing that the future is looking bright.

Russell Jenkins, the operations director at the Jenkins Bakery, said the firm was delighted to be able to support Llanelli Squash Club.
