Town deny Cresselly sixth win

AlecColley (3)Haverfordwest 2nds (94 – 8 and 128 – 6) beat Cresselly 2nds (101 – 3 and 110 – 8)
HAVERFORDWEST Seconds fought hard to beat a stubborn Cresselly seconds who were looking for their sixth Alec Colley title in a row.
Pembroke Cricket Club hosted the final last Sunday afternoon, and Haverfordwest were asked to bat first, and after Saturday’s heavy rain, runs were difficult to come by.
Haverfordwest opened with captain Richard Scriven and first teamer Simon Holliday. Scriven was run out for 23 as the tight bowling from Harry Thomas (1-18) and Richard Harris (1-11) kept Haverfordwest in check. ‘Doc’ Holliday was then caught for an uncharacteristic 3.
Cresselly then took the pace off the ball as David ‘Dessie’ Haynes, Nitin Mathias, Jamie Jenkins and Kern Cunningham all lost their wickets. Cresselly captain Matthew Lewis (3-27) and Richard Arthur (2-34) turned the screw to keep Haverfordwest on a below par score. Ajay Ravu scored a valuable 24 at the tail of the innings before the Town finished on 94-8.
Cresselly made slow but steady progress as Scott Arthur and Andrew Harries opened the innings. Haverfordwest turned to the slow stuff of Simon Holliday and Ajay Ravu, who slowed an already slow innings, with runs very hard to come by. The pressure built and Ravu claimed the wicket of Andrew Harris (41). Scott Arthur followed for a steady 25. Cresselly finished on 101, giving them a lead at the break of seven runs. Runs were few and far between, however the drama was high.
After tea Haverfordwest lost and early wicket, leaving Simon Holliday at the crease, before he was joined by Ajay Ravu before he departed for an important 29. Holliday scored the most valuable runs being caught out for 40. Richard Mathias finished with 3-39 and Matthew Lewis with 2-40 as the Town posted a target of 122 runs to win for Cresselly; a small target, but in a low scoring game, Haverfordwest knew it was defendable with accurate bowling and committed fielding.
Cresselly began the chase poorly as Harries lost his wicket and a spectacular catch left Cresselly two wickets down. Ravu’s bowling was tight as he got another wicket in his man of the match performance. Cresselly’s reign of the Alec Colley sliped with every ball bowled, and for the first time in five years, they have to settle for being runners up, in an entertaining final.

Rising rally star claims maiden Mini Rally Challenge victory

Published

Newcastle Emlyn’s Henri Cynwyl secures first outright R53 Mini Rally Challenge win at Greystoke Stages Rally in Cumbria

RISING rally star Henri Cynwyl has claimed his first outright victory in the R53 Mini Rally Challenge after an impressive performance at the Greystoke Stages Rally in Cumbria.

The young driver from Newcastle Emlyn, who recently made his gravel debut at the Plains Rally, wasted no time in showing his potential on one of the toughest events of the season.

In only his second gravel rally, Henri delivered a composed and determined drive over rough and demanding terrain. Despite difficult conditions and damage to the car during the event, he secured victory in the R53 Mini Rally Challenge, finished an outstanding 15th overall, and took second in Class 3 in the over 2000cc category.

The result further strengthens Henri’s reputation as one of rallying’s brightest young prospects and marks another major step forward in his developing career.

Speaking after the event, 18-year-old Henri said: “This was my second outing at a gravel event and I’m absolutely delighted with the win, especially on very rough and challenging terrain.

“It was my first time at Greystoke and although it was rough, I really enjoyed it. I knew I just had to get back to service for the win with a one minute 30 second lead.”

For the apprentice electrician, finishing inside the top 15 overall and second in class capped off a superb weekend.

Henri added: “A huge thank you to my support network and sponsors, especially W1 Motorsport Group and team manager Mark Williams, who has a wealth of knowledge and gives me valuable advice.

“From the service crew to my mum, they have all been terrific. It was also brilliant to have the support and help from other Mini Rally Challenge members, who went above and beyond to help fix my damaged radiator.

“I really appreciate all the phone calls and messages from family, friends and sponsors. They all mean a lot to me.”

Henri also paid tribute to his co-driver Dilwyn John, whose experience proved invaluable throughout the event.

He said: “Having Dilwyn John as my co-driver was super. He is very experienced at gravel, stage and night events, and reading the maps over the weekend suited him perfectly.

“Thirteen-year-old Wil Parry also came along to service. He is very much part of the team now. It was his 13th birthday and he worked so hard with Mark to make sure the car was running well. Top job!

“I would also like to thank all of the organisers for a great event. We will be back next year.”

With a podium finish on his gravel debut followed immediately by his first outright Mini Rally Challenge victory, the future looks bright for Henri.

If these early performances are anything to go by, the Newcastle Emlyn youngster is certainly one to watch as his rally career continues to gather momentum.
