Match Officials:

 


Rob Bellerby:                Retired
 
This will be Rob’s second Harrison-Allen Bowl Final and he can lay claim to having the joint-longest gap in between them since his previous final came as far back as 2010, when he officiated alongside the brilliant Huw Davies (Whitland) as Carew beat Haverfordwest.
 
The big gap is caused by two things: the first being the success of his home club Neyland appearing in seven finals since then – and the other is that Rob was a Fire Officer in the Fire Brigade and had to work shifts/and some weekends!
 
Rob qualified as an umpire in 1999 and  didn’t ever play in a Bowl Final but appeared in four Alec Colley Cup Finals, two as a winner and one of them as captain in his six seasons at the helm – and he was a very good rugby player in his day for the Pembrokeshire All Blacks, playing over 400 matches in a playing career spanning 25 years.
 
He has been a great servant for Neyland as groundsman at the Athletic Field for 36 years and Hon Treasurer for 23 years, but both have or are coming to an end now, he says with a chuckle. He is understandably proud to be a life member of the club.
 
Have a great day Rob – after such a long wait!



 
 
 
Dave Bonner                           Retired
 
Dave arrived in Pembrokeshire with a wealth of experience as a player and umpire in Lancashire, where he played for many years as a professional, starting out with Darwin CC in the Northern Premier League - and took plenty of wickets alongside scoring more than his share of runs.
 
Then he became a pro player for three seasons with Edgeworth CC in the Bolton Association, followed by a similar stint with the quaintly-named Cherry Tree CC in the Ribblesdale League where he encountered the legendary Javed Miandad.
 
After a stint back with Darwin he became an umpire before coming to Pembrokeshire and being welcomed into the fold - and he has already officiated at one Harrison-Allen Final and is looking forward to his second, but unfortunately, he will be leaving Pembrokeshire after this, and moving back to Lancashire for family reasons.
 
We hope Dave has a good final game!

Dai Davies (Llangwm)  
 
Dai has been with Llangwm C.C. since 1958. He was honoured to be president of Llangwm C.C. and was Chairman for 22 years and for many years he did a great job as a groundsman at Pill Parks.
 
Dai was renowned as a very competitive cricketer with his medium pace bowling and  strong middle-order batsman in an excellent Llangwm team, but also being well-known for his sporting attitude to the game, which is perhaps why he is so respected around the county today.
 
He played in five Harrison-Allen Bowl Finals, winning three and was captain on two occasions, with the family tradition continuing via his son Mark and grandson Noah, the current captain of Llangwm Cricket Club.
