LAWRENNY kept the pressure on leaders Neyland on Saturday (Aug 3) as they beat Haverfordwest by three wickets.

Town were put in to bat after Lawrenny won the toss but they were bowled out for 101.

They were on the back foot early on as Danny Potter was out for a second-ball duck when he was bowled by Rob Williams.

Jake Merry and Ben Field looked to get the home side going but they could only add 30 runs before Field, who hit two fours and a six in his score of 20, was caught by James Phillips off the bowling of Williams.

Jake Merry followed soon after as he was caught and bowled by Ryan Morton on a score of 13.

That left Town on 48-3 and that soon became 56-5 as Lee Summons was caught by Phillips off the bowling of Curtis Marsh and the same bowler then trapped Nikhil Mathias leg before for a second-ball duck.

Jack Scriven and Dai Davies added another 22 runs for the sixth wicket but Scriven was then run out by Morton.

Davies made his way to a score of 20 but he was then stumped by Phillips off the bowling of Harry Thomas.

Thomas then bowled Ashley James to leave Town struggling on 87-8.

Simon Holliday hit three fours as he made 17 but he was then bowled by Marsh.

Town’s inning then came to a close as Marsh had Clive Tucker caught by Phillips. That gave Marsh excellent figures of 4-13 from his 11.3 overs.

Needing 102 to win, Lawrenny lost opener Curtis Marsh when he was bowled by Ashley James for a golden duck.

Harry Thomas and James Phillips then shared 40 runs for the second wicket before Phillips was bowled by Dai Davies.

Thomas hit six fours in his score of 29 but he was then run out by Ben Field as Lawrenny slipped to 45-3.

Steve Lewis and Joe Kidney then shared another 24 runs as they continued to edge towards their target.

Lewis added ten runs to the total but he was then caught by Field off the bowling of Clive Tucker.

Kidney and James Skeels then added another 20 runs for the fifth wicket. Kidney had hit three fours and two sixes in his score of 25 but he was then caught by Ashley James off the bowling of Lee Summons.

Skeels then fell for a score of 11 before Buckle was bowled by Summons as Town had Lawrenny seven down with the score on 96.

Thomas Cole and Ryan Morton then held their nerve to see Lawrenny to victory inside 21 overs.

On Saturday (Aug 10), Lawrenny host Neyland in a top of the table clash as they look to keep their title hopes alive.

Haverfordwest will look to bounce back when they take on Cresselly.

Cwmamman United stun Tenby AFC in an unforgettable 3-3 thriller to reach the last sixteen of the West Wales Intermediate Cup

Cwmamman Utd 3 Tenby AFC 3 (Cwm win 3–2 on pens)

AN EXTRAORDINARY cup tie unfolded at Grenig Park as Cwmamman United and Tenby AFC shared a breathless 3-3 draw, before the hosts edged through 3–2 on penalties.

Tenby struck almost instantly, with Lloyd Hughes finding the net inside the opening minute. Cwm hit back on 14 minutes when Cam Isaac produced a superb finish to level the tie, but Joe Leahy restored Tenby’s lead before the break – a goal that for long spells looked like it might settle the contest.

Deep into stoppage time, however, Cwmamman refused to accept defeat. In the 100th minute, Jackson Brereton pounced to smash home an equaliser and force extra time.

The drama only intensified. Tenby were awarded a hotly disputed penalty in the 114th minute, converted confidently by Hughes. The spot-kick also saw Cwm’s Kieran Rees – who had been excellent alongside Kai O’Donnell at the heart of the defence – shown a red card.

But with virtually the last kick of the game, Cwm’s goalkeeper Kai Rees strode forward for a final desperate attack and unleashed a stunning 25-yard volley to make it 3-3, sparking wild celebrations around the ground.

Rees was far from finished. In the decisive shootout, he produced two superb saves to secure a 3–2 penalty win and send Cwmamman United into the last sixteen of the West Wales Intermediate Cup.
