Llangwm (255-5) beat Kilgetty (162) by 93 runs

Big hitting: Joseph Kiff hits another boundary on his way to making 87

LLANGWM’S Joseph and Matthew Kiff produced some excellent hitting as they helped their side to a massive total against Kilgetty on Saturday.

After losing opener Phil Llewellyn early on, Will Beresford and Andrew Harries led Llangwm to 104-2.

Harries was caught by Kurtis Marsh off the bowling of Ross Hardy for a score of 50 which included nine fours and a six.

That brought Joseph Kiff to the crease but soon after Beresford was also out, caught off the bowling of Hardy for a score of 36.

New batsman Ewan Griffiths did not last long and his wicket saw Matthew Kiff join brother Joseph in the middle.

Llangwm had reached 124-4 from 30 overs but the Kiff combination soon changed the complexion of the match.

The pair put on a batting masterclass as they punished any wayward bowling and began hitting the ball towards all parts of the Pill Parks ground.

In the 35th over Joseph hit two massive sixes and a four to take Llangwm past 150.

The onslaught continued and after the 40th over they had reached 205-4.

Joseph Kiff looked set for a brilliant century but he was agonisingly clean bowled by Toby Poole, just 13 short of 100.

Brother Matthew was still at the crease and his late hitting, including two big sixes, took Llangwm to 255-5 from their 45 overs and also saw him finish not out on an excellent score of 59.

The brothers had put on 106 for the fifth wicket in an incredible stand which the bowlers could do little to resist.

Ross Hardy was the pick of the bowlers for Kilgetty with three wickets for 47 runs while Jack Parkinson also picked up a wicket.

In reply, Kilgetty were unable to match the batting prowess of the Kiff brothers as Oliver Davies took four wickets and Toby Asson also picked up two wickets.

Kurtis Marsh did score 37 and the in-form Ross Hardy scored 47 but it wasn’t enough as Kilgetty were bowled out for 162, a losing margin of 93 runs.

The win gives Llangwm the maximum 30 points and sees them move back up to second in Division Two while Kilgetty claimed just six points.

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.
