Welsh umpire killed by cricket ball
Welsh cricket was in mourning on Sunday after an umpire died after being struck on the
head by a ball.
Alcywn Jenkins, 72, was standing at a game at the St Helen's ground in Swansea, south
Wales, on Saturday when he died after being hit by a ball, which Britain's Press Association
said it understood was thrown by a fielder.
Jenkins, who lived in the Sketty area of Swansea, was airlifted to a nearby hospital but died
shortly afterwards.
The First Division match between Swansea and Llangennech in the South Wales Cricket
Association (SWCA) was later abandoned.
