Lawrenny beat Town as Cresselly go top

Published

on

LAWRENNY upset the odds once again as they beat leaders Haverfordwest to deal a blow to their Division 1 title hopes on Saturday (Jul 7).

Haverfordwest sat joint top with Cresselly going into the weekend’s games but were well aware that their opponents had already beaten Cresselly and Neyland earlier in the season.

Town scored 219-9 in their innings with Lee Summons top scoring on 62 and Simon Holliday adding 34.

Ian Jenkins and Ryan Morton both took three wickets for Lawrenny before Steve Campbell finished not out on 67 to help his side reach 220-6.

That win meant Cresselly went top after they beat bottom side Johnston by six wickets. Johnston batted first but were all out for 120 with Gino Cleal scoring 26.

Sam Harts took four wickets and Tom Arthur took three before Dan James finished not out on 42 to help his side over the line.

Neyland sit third in the Division but they could only draw their game at home to Burton. Neyland batted well as they reached a total of 246-7 thanks to scores of 50 from Sean Hannon and 50 not out from Nathan Banner.

Toby Hayman then scored 83 in Burton’s reply but they finished their innings on 196-7.

Fourth placed Whitland failed to take advantage of Neyland’s slip up as they were beaten by Llangwm. Whitland were all out for 151 in their innings as Noah and Ollie Davies took seven wickets between them.

Phil Llewellyn then scored 51 for Llangwm and Matthew Kiff scored 47 as they reached their target with three wickets in hand.

St Ishmaels pulled themselves further away from the bottom two as they beat Kilgetty by seven wickets.

Kilgetty batted first and were all out for 170 with Kurtish Marsh top scoring on 70. Daniel Flynn took five wickets for Tish and Andrew Williams also took three.

Peter Bradshaw then finished not out on 77 as Tish secured a fourth win of the season.

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.
