Pat Ling was a forceful left-handed batter who played nine matches for Glamorgan during the mid-1930`s, as well as in five matches for Somerset in 1939.
Pat had captained the Stowe XI in 1928, before winning a place in Wiltshire`s side. He also had a spell with Cumberland before returning to South Wales, with his attractive strokeplay in club cricket attracting the attention of Glamorgan`s selectors who were keen to give chances to young Welsh amateurs. The Skewen-born batter duly made his Glamorgan debut in 1934 against Cambridge University, but in thirteen innings for Glamorgan Pat failed to register a half-century.
He continued to play for Glamorgan`s 2nd XI in their Minor County matches in 1936 and 1937, before he became a pig and poultry farmer in the West Country.
