NEYLAND’s Nick Koomen starred with bat and ball as he helped his side to victory over Ynysygerwn in the semi-final of the Welsh Cup on Sunday (Aug 19).

They will now play Ammanford in the final on Sunday, September 2, at the Swalec Stadium in Cardiff.

Neyland’s South Wales Premier League opponents were invited to bat first after the home side won the toss.

With conditions favouring the bowlers Neyland were able to restrict Ynysygerwn to 106 all out inside 37 overs.

Sean Hannon made the breakthrough early on as he caught and bowled Aaron Ace on a duck and Nathan Banner then had Gareth Davies caught by Patrick Bellerby on a score of 3.

Hannon returned and had Adam Bray caught by Andrew Miller on a score of 4 as they reduced Ynysygerwn to 16-3.

Yuvraj Odedra and Alex McCormack offered some resistance with a stand of 34 but that came to an end whey Odedra was run out by Ashley Sutton on a score of 25 that included two fours and a six.

McCormack hit three fours in his knock of 18 but he was then stumped by Hannon off the bowling of Andrew Miller.

Miller was not done there as he then had Adam Davies caught by Geraint Rees and Nathan Davies caught by Bellerby, bout out without scoring.

That saw them slip to 68-7 but Joshua Griffiths and Gavin John shared another 38 runs to take their side over a century of runs.

Griffiths hit five fours in a knock of 23 but he was then run out by Ashley Sutton and Nick Koomen then bowled John on a score of 17.

Koomen then had Patrick O’Brien stumped by Hannon as Ynysygerwen’s innings came to a close with them all out on 106.

Neyland lost opener Gregg Miller early in their reply when he was caught and bowled by Yuvraj Odedra but a stand of 71 between Koomen and Andrew Miller set the home side on their way to victory.

Miller played his way to a patient score of 19 before he was caught by Nathan Davies off the bowling of Craig Evans.

Koomen reached his half century having hit six fours and two sixes but he was then caught by Gareth Davies off the bowling of Evans as Neyland were reduced to 81-3.

Patrick O’Brien then had Ashley Sutton caught by Gavin John on a score of 6 but despite their best efforts, they were unable to take any further wickets.

Nathan Banner finished not out on 8 while Patrick Bellerby hit a six to win the game for Neyland and send them into the final.

PENNAR Robins secured their third win in four games in all competitions on Saturday (Nov 20) as they beat Fishguard 5-3.

The home side got the scoring going on 14 minutes when Nick Willis found the back of the net.

Fishguard equalised though shortly before the half hour mark through Sean Seymour-Davies.

However, they were only level for three minutes as Luke Phillips scored after being set up by Craig Asparassa.

Pennar then made it 3-1 seven minutes later as Connor Roberts scored.

Fishguard’s hopes of getting something out of the game were all but ended three minutes into the second half as Asparassa got his name on the score sheet with Pennar’s fourth of the afternoon.

There was still plenty of time left though and on 64 minutes the visitors were awarded a penalty. Niall Kinsella scored from the spot to make it 4-2.

Willis then grabbed his second of the game eleven minutes from time to make sure of the points for the home side.

Jordan Raymond did pull a goal back four minutes from time for the visitors but it proved to be a consolation as Pennar saw the game out for the win.

On Saturday, November 27, Pennar are in action in the Senior Cup as they host Hakin United. Fishguard are in league action as they travel to bottom side Narberth.
