Lawrenny through to Harrison Allen Final

Published

on

LAWRENNY are the first team into the final of this year’s Harrison Allen Bowl after they beat Llangwm on Tuesday night (Jul 10).

The game was played at Kilgetty and a large crowd gathered to watch the game.

Lawrenny have not been in the final since they won it last in 2001 and they now await the winners of the tie between Cresselly and Narberth, who play tomorrow (Jul 12).

Llangwm batted first after winning the toss but they soon found themselves struggling as some good Lawrenny saw them keep the score down to 17-1 after five overs.

The wicket to fall was that of Phil Llewelyn who scored 11 before being caught off the bowling of Rob Williams.

Will Beresford scored 13 but he was also out to the bowling of Williams and soon after Matthew Kiff was bowled by Jamie Lewis leaving Llangwm on 26-3.

Williams then took his third wicket as he had Noah Davies caught and Chris Inward only scored three before falling to the bowling of Ryan Morton.

Joe Kiff ensured the scoreboard kept ticking over with a score of 26 but he was then caught and bowled by Brad McDermott Jenkins.

That left Llangwm on 75-6 and although McDermott-Jenkins picked up the wicket of Richard Brock, scores of 17 not out from Ollie Davies and 20 from Luke Brock took Llangwm to a total of 126-7 from their 22 overs.

Lawrenny then lost McDermott-Jenkins early in their reply for a score of 7 when he was caught and bowled by Noah Davies.

Despite that, a stand of 79 between Simon Cole and James Phillips swung the game in their favour.

That partnership was brought to an end when Cole was bowled by Chris Inward for a score of 44.

Phillips had made 43 but he was then bowled by Phil Llewelyn as Llangwm hit back. Llewelyn then trapped Matthew Lewis leg before for a duck as Lawrenny slipped to 104-4.

Llangwm were unable to take any further wickets as scores of 11 and 10 not out from Patrick Elliot and Joe Kidney saw Lawrenny to victory.

Bluebirds beaten on the road

Published

on

HAVERFODWEST County suffered defeat on Saturday (Feb 25) as their hopes of finishing seventh took a blow.

The Bluebirds had beaten Flint Town United last time out and were hoping to pick up another win but they came up against a Pontypridd side bouyed by their late show against Aberystwyth in their last game which saw them earn a 3-3 draw.

There was a chance for Ben Fawcett early on as he latched on to a long ball but his shot from the edge of the area went just wide.

In the 24th minute, Jordan Davies crossed the ball to the back post for Jazz Richards whose header back towards proved too hot for the Ponty keeper to handle who palmed the ball into the net.

However, nine minutes later the home side were back level as Kieran Lewis’ corner was headed in by Jarrad Wright.

The game remained 1-1 at the break with both sides keen to make a good start to the second half.

For the Bluebirds, it was anything but. Four minutes in, Oscar Borg was sent off for pulling down Ponty’s Ben Ahmun, giving the home side a free kick on the edge of the box.

Lewis stepped up and curled a brilliant effort into the net to put the home side ahead.

Ponty nearly added a third late on as the ball was sent through for Danny Williams but he could not beat Bluebirds keeper Zac Jones. The rebound fell to Owain Jones but he sent his effort over the bar.

The win for Ponty moves them back out of the bottom two and they now sit three points behind the Bluebirds.

The sides now have a two-week break before their next league game.

On Saturday, March 11, Haverfordwest travel to Aberystwyth Town while Pontypridd host Caernarfon Town.
