In this week’s episode we talk to Linton Lewis and his clubmates from Ammanford Cricket Club. Linton, born in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean, came to Ammanford in 1981 as an unknown young cricketer from the West Indies. When he left the club in 1989 he had transformed the club’s fortunes and left behind a series of exploits that were legendary throughout South Wales and beyond.
