Thrillers and Dominant Results Mark Week 16 in Pembrokeshire Cricket

Published

on

Saturday, 9 August 2025 – Thomas Carroll Pembroke County Cricket League

WEEK 16 of the Thomas Carroll Pembroke County Cricket League delivered a gripping mix of nail-biting finishes and dominant performances as the summer season heads towards its climax. Across all six divisions, batters unleashed big scores, bowlers ripped through line-ups, and league tables saw crucial shifts with promotion and relegation battles beginning to take shape.

In Division 1, Neyland’s Ross Hardy stole the headlines with a blistering unbeaten century, while Jack John’s devastating six-wicket haul sent Llangwm tumbling to a crushing defeat. Cresselly and Carew continued their relentless pursuit of the title with emphatic wins, while Burton and Haverfordwest picked up valuable victories to keep mid-table pressure alive.

Lower down the leagues, there were more fireworks. Lee Summons lit up Division 2 with a match-winning century for Johnston, while Loui Davies steered Narberth to another important triumph. In Division 3, Hundleton edged Kilgetty by just two runs in one of the season’s closest finishes, and in Division 4, St Ishmaels II romped home by ten wickets in a one-sided display. Even in the lower divisions, individual brilliance shone through – Luke Williams’ five-for for Hundleton II and Kelvin Holmes’ extraordinary 4-1 for Llechryd III proving that no stage is too small for standout cricketing moments.

With only a few weeks left, every run and wicket is becoming vital – and if Week 16 was anything to go by, the race for silverware and survival will go right down to the wire.

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.
