YOUNG cricketers from 16 primary schools took to the crease in the Pembrokeshire Schools Kwik Cricket finals on June 18, sponsored by Valero Pembroke Refinery.

The event was organised by Sports Pembrokeshire, Pembrokeshire County Council’s sports development team and held at Haverfordwest Cricket Club on June 18.

It followed qualifying festivals held in South and North Pembrokeshire involving 45 schools 69 teams and 812 pupils.

The schools involved on finals day were Cleddau Reach VC Primary School, Hook CP School, Mary Immaculate School, Milford Haven Junior School, Neyland Community School, Pembroke Dock Community School, Pennar Community School, Prendergast CP School, Roch Community School, Saundersfoot CP School, Sageston CP School, Stepaside CP School, Tenby VC Primary School, Ysgol Bro Dewi, Ysgol Glan Cleddau and Ysgol Glannau Gwaun.

Reaching the semi-finals were Cleddau Reach, Saundersfoot, Stepaside and Sageston, were the play was of a very high standard with little to choose from between the schools.

The results were: Cleddau Reach 245 v Saundersfoot 250 (the game going down to the last ball with a six and a wicket in the last over) and Stepaside 219 v Sageston 235.

Sageston CP School and Saundersfoot CP School therefore emerged as winners – the same two schools as last year. Both will now go on to represent Pembrokeshire in the national finals in Sophia Gardens on July 12.

In a more relaxed final between the two winning schools, Sageston beat Saundersfoot and both teams received their medals and glass trophies for their schools.

“We wish them good luck in Cardiff and congratulations to both,” said Martin Jones, cricket officer for Pembrokeshire and organiser of the festival.

“All schools played hard on the day whilst observing the spirit of cricket with some friendly local rivalry, with a lot of pupils knowing each other through the club network.

“It was good to see some of the smaller schools competing especially the ones with little cricket in their area, including Ysgol Bro Dewi, Ysgol Glannau Gwaun and Roch.

“I’d like to say a huge thank you to Valero Pembroke Refinery, without whose support the festival would not be possible, to Haverfordwest Cricket Club for hosting the event, and umpires Jemma Phillips and Scott Jones.”

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.
