Lamphey up to second

Published

on

LAMPHEY moved up to second place in Division 3 on Saturday (Jun 8) as they beat Narberth seconds by 132 runs.

The Stags scored 171-8 in their innings thanks to a half century from Peter McGilloway. He then also claimed four wickets as he helped bowl Narberth out for just 39 in their reply.

Gianluca Trimarco and McGilloway got Lamphey off to a good start with a stand of 28 for the first wicket. Trimarco scored 10 but he was then bowled by Richard Prout.

McGilloway then shared another good stand worth 26 runs with Lewis Haines before the latter was caught by Will Nicholas off the bowling of Nick Evans.

David Blackwell was next in but he only scored 11 before being bowled by Evans. Dean Lawrence joined McGilloway at the crease and the pair shared 38 runs for the fourth wicket.

McGilloway had made his way to a score of 69 but he was then stumped by Huw Simpkins off the bowling of Evans.

Soon after, Lawrence was out for a score of 20 when he was caught by Nicholas off the bowling of Oliver Berry.

Lamphey were then reduced to 122-6 as Tom Colley was caught and bowled by Evans.

Stephen Vale and Hywel Gibbs then shared 28 runs between them before Gibbs was bowled by Shay Norcross.

Vale had scored 17 but Norcross struck again to send him back to the pavilion.

Andrew Skeels and Ben Hathaway then finished unbeaten to take Lamphey to their total.

Narberth were struggling early in their reply as they lost Andrew Williams to the bowling of David Blackwell and Oliver Berry to the bowling of Connor Carroll.

4-2 became 9-3 when Ben Hathaway caught Tim Berry to give Carroll his second wicket.

Wickets continued to fall as Gary Hughes was caught and bowled by Blackwell. Huw Simpkins was then caught by Hathaway off the bowling of Blackwell as Narberth slipped to 19-5.

Rob and Will Nicholas tried to offer some resistance with a stand of ten runs but the introduction of McGilloway brought that to an end.

He bowled Will and then also had Shay Norcross caught by Dean Lawrence. Richard Howell was then caught by Andrew Skeels to give McGilloway his third wicket.

Rob Nicholas had made a score of 18 but McGilloway claimed his fourth wicket when he had him caught by Carroll.

With Richard Prout unable to bat it meant that the innings came to a close giving Lamphey victory.

McGilloway finished with excellent figures of 4-5 while Blackwell claimed 3-11 and Carroll 2-8.

On Saturday (Jun 15), Lamphey are at home to Division 3 leaders Herbrandston in what should be an excellent game.

Clarby stand in the way of Goodwick double

Published

on

Two thrilling semi finals last weekend has meant Goodwick United and Clarbeston Road will meet in the senior cup final this coming Saturday.

Goodwick faced Pennar Robins in their semi final who pushed the champions very hard. Carl Vincent will be disappointed but proud of the Robins as they gave a great account of themselves. However in the end Goodwick’s quality and experience just was too much for Vincent’s team.

The other semi was an absolute thriller, and after a nail biting game Matthew Fox’ Clarby progressed to the final. A offside call has sparked a lot of debate around the county. However it seems that linesman Jenkins made an absolute perfect call so credit to him for that.

Both teams would have wanted a nice week of preparation for the final, maybe without any games to play. Unfortunately this hasn’t been possible due to the fixture backlog and both outfits have played already this week.

Goodwick will be favourites of course, however if anyone can upset the apple cart Saturday it’s this Clarbeston Road team. Fox’ outfit have impressed over and over this season. Without too much pressure on them, they are in a good place going into the final.

The double at one staged looked like the minimum Goodwick would be aiming for this season. However losses in other cup competitions, means its Senior Cup success or just the league title for the outstanding team of the season. Oddly becoming champions with no cup success maybe seen as a huge disappointment considering their dominance this season. A unique pressure. However if anyone can handle that pressure it’s O’Sullivans outfit.

Swifts eyes on double.

Published

on

Monkton Swifts reserves have blown away the second division this season and now have the double in their sights. They face Merlins Bridge reserves in the semi final of the second division cup and lived up to their favourites tag.

Swifts won comfortably with key player Butland getting three assists and Josh Sture grabbing a brace. Waterman and Rhys Sture added the other goals as outstanding Monkton won 4-0.

Herbrandston and Johnston played in the other semi final and this was a much harder fixture to call. The promoted Herbie a younger and perhaps less physical outfit in comparison to the Tigers. Johnston quickly took control of the game when they found themselves two up after just 29 minutes.

However when Scott Murray was shown a red card just eight minutes later, Herbie would have been confident of staging a comeback. Despite being a man light, Johnston held Herbie until the final minute of the 90, when Alex Ouzman gave Herbie late hope. The Tigers held firm however and progress to the final where they will be underdogs. A tag that I’m sure the players and manager Steven Allen won’t mind too much.
