As the number of amateur clubs expanded in Cardiff, Newport and Merseyside a Wales-England fixture was proposed to promote the sport further. I certainly remember playing this during PE lessons during the summer term. In the Under-16 A Division, Maindy Corries picked up their first win of the season defeating. Securing the Challenge Cup was a proud moment. Under the guiding hand of Alf Williams, who captained the side in the first four years, Alpha soon made an impact winning 17 of 18 games in only their second season with Fred carrying off the club award for the best batting average.
