ST ISHMAELS’ Brennan Devonald took five wickets and then finished unbeaten on 48 to see his side to victory over Cresselly on Saturday (Jul 20).

Cresselly won the toss and elected to bat but they were bowled out for 231 inside 43 overs.

They lost Dan Sutton early as Brennan Devonald made the breakthrough but Neal Williams and Simon Cole shared 92 runs for the second wicket.

Cole hit six fours as he scored 49 but he was then trapped leg before by Andrew Pawlett.

Williams hit seven fours in his score of 53 but he was then bowled by Pawlett as Cresselly were reduced to 126-3.

Iwan Izzard and Dan Cherry shared 64 runs for the fourth wicket before Cherry was caught by Daniel Richards off the bowling of Pawlett on a score of 28 that included two fours and a six.

Izzard hit six fours and three sixes as his score of 59 came from 44 balls but he was then bowled by Pawlett.

That left Cresselly on 221-5 and seemingly looking at a big total, but Tish had other ideas.

Devonald had Alex Bayley caught by Daniel Richards and he then took the catch to dismiss Tom Murphy and give Pawlett his fifth wicket.

Devonald then had Ryan Lewis caught by Jordan Milich and with the next two balls he bowled Sam Harts and Josh Lewis to claim a hat trick.

That meant that Cresselly’s last five wickets fell for ten runs and set Tish 232 to win the game.

Tish lost opener Peter Bradshaw early on when he was caught by Sam Harts off the bowling of Tom Murphy.

Daniel Richards and Harry Nicholas then shared 48 runs for the second wicket with Richards making his way to a score of 43.

He hit six fours and a six in his knock but he was then caught by Simon Cole off the bowling of Murphy.

Nicholas and Phil Cockburn then shared an excellent stand worth 103 runs to put their side in a strong position.

Nicholas made a score of 35 but he was then bowled by Ryan Lewis.

Cockburn and Devonald then shared 67 runs to put Tish on the brink of victory.

Cockburn hit ten fours and a six as he made an excellent score of 86 before he was bowled by Tom Arthur.

Devonald hit five fours and two sixes as his score of 48 came from 31 balls. His last four sent Tish to victory.

It’s the time of the year again, Saturday see’s Bridge Meadow host the senior cup final. The sun has been shining and both teams will be dying to get on the pitch. This year the final will be contested by Goodwick United and Clarbeston Road.

League champions Goodwick will go into the final as favourites, and most around the county expect a Goodwick win. It has been an outstanding season for Goodwick however cup success has evaded them so far. Clarbeston Road have impressed everyone this season and really deserve their place in this years final.

Neill Crawshaw will referee the game, with Tudor Walters and Stefan Jenkins running the line.

There will be a unique contest on the pitch as brothers Will Haworth and Laurie Haworth come face to face on opposing teams. Adrian their father was a great player in the county, and played in many cup finals himself.

The stage is set, Clarby will feel less pressure than Goodwick and will be a threat with Haworth, John and Davies in attack. Meanwhile Goodwick are also blessed with quality players in every department, there is no weak link in O’Sullivans team. Cup football and finals in particular never go as people predict. On paper Goodwick are firm favourites, Clarbeston Road will be happy the game will be played on grass though and not paper, anything can happen! Hopefully it’ll be a good crowd down at the Meadow for the show piece of Pembrokeshire football.

Clarby stand in the way of Goodwick double

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.
