Gary also known as ‘The G’ was a massive part of the 1st XI team, the club & community. He will be hugely missed!!
RIP G

@GorseinonCC

Outstanding batting, in what may be a club record 👏🏻

Thank you for the years of invaluable work you have provided to our Club 👏🏻
“For when the one great scorer
Came to write against your name,
He wrote…
Not that you won, or lost
But…
How you played the game.”
You will always be remembered, Gary ‘Scorer’ Phillips 💚
A send off The G deserved. A true tribute to a special man!
Thank you for everyone’s messages and marks of respect last Saturday & today, for Our Scorer.
It shows why we are a special club but more importantly how special The G was to our club. Diolch

I am delighted to share with you, that Tiaan Sparrow has scored over 300 county runs and over 700 runs in all the cricket he has played this Season and has also taken 35 wickets! He will represent Wales all next week at the Taunton festival. Good Luck Tiaan from us all!
We couldn’t be prouder of Gary “The G” Scorer winning this award. The award is so well deserved and fitting for his contribution to the cricket club and community in Ammanford over the last 30 years
