Cresselly hold firm at the top as league race tightens

Published

on

CRESSELLY maintained their position at the summit of Division 1 with a hard-fought 25-run victory over Haverfordwest in a high-scoring thriller, while Carew kept up the pressure with a comfortable win over Saundersfoot.

Elsewhere, Burton recorded the weekend’s biggest margin of victory, thrashing Llangwm by 179 runs, and Neyland produced a dominant performance to ease past Whitland by 112 runs. Lawrenny also claimed a vital away win at Herbrandston to keep their title hopes alive.

In Division 2, Hook stunned Cresselly II with a crushing 213-run victory, but St Ishmaels continue to lead the table after overcoming Carew II. Pembroke and Narberth remain hot on their heels, with Narberth benefitting from a fixture default.

Division 3 saw one of the closest games of the day, with Lamphey edging Fishguard by just 1 run. Haverfordwest II and Laugharne also enjoyed convincing wins, while several fixtures were postponed or not fulfilled.

At Division 4 level, Pembroke II remain the team to beat after a narrow 1-run win over Saundersfoot II. St Ishmaels II and Crymych also impressed, while Lawrenny II and Haverfordwest III recorded strong victories.

In Division 5, Herbrandston II and Llechryd II continue to battle for top spot, both posting dominant wins. Luke Murray’s century helped Pembroke Dock II cruise to victory over Hundleton II, while Whitland II edged out Llechryd II in a close contest.

Kilgetty II hit the headlines in Division 6 as Jack Badham blasted an unbeaten 147 in their 161-run win over Llechryd III. Pembroke III stay top following a comfortable 8-wicket win over Lamphey II.

Keeper scores 121st-minute wonder goal before saving two penalties

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.
