ST ISHMAELS picked up a surprise second win of the season on Saturday (May 25) as they beat Haverfordwest by 28 runs.

Tish batted first after Town won the toss but six wickets from Archie Thomas saw them bowled out for just 85.

However, whatever Thomas could do, Andrew Pawlett could do just as well as he went on to claim seven wickets as Town were astonishingly bowled out for 57.

Peter Bradshaw was first out when he was caught by Mike Jones off the bowling of Ashley James.

Jack and Harry Nicholas followed him back to the pavilion soon after as Jack was run out by Chris Fitzpatrick while Harry was caught by Ben Field off the bowling of Thomas.

Three balls later, 20-3 became 20-4 as Brennan Devonald was bowled by Thomas for a duck.

Thomas then also bowled Daniel Richards for a duck to leave Tish on 24-5.

Phil Cockburn and Andrew Pawlett then shared 16 runs for the sixth wicket as they looked to stem the flow of wickets.

Thomas was in fine form though as he had Pawlett caught by Field before, three balls later, trapping Robbie Thomas leg before for a duck.

That left Tish on 40-7 but Cockburn and Jordan Milich shared another 20 runs as they edged their side towards three figures.

Cockburn hit four fours in his knock of 27 but it was Thomas who struck again as he had Cockburn caught by Jack Scriven.

Milich then shared another 25 runs with Daniel Howells but the former was then caught and bowled by Ashley James for a score of 20 (four fours).

James then brought the innings to a close as he had Josh Beer caught by Scriven for a duck.

That meant Tish were all out for 85 and Town would have fancied their chances of knocking off those runs.

Tish were in no mood to give Town an easy ride though and they soon had them struggling as Pawlett claimed his first wicket, bowling Jake Merry.

Brennan Devonald then had Mike Jones caught by Pawlett as Town slipped to 14-2.

Pawlett then bowled Danny Potter and soon after he had Ben Field caught by Daniel Richards before also trapping Adam James leg before.

That left Town on 35-5 but Lee Summons and Chris Fitzpatrick offered some resistance with a stand of thirteen.

Brennan Devonald brought that to an end as he had Fitzpatrick caught by Richards.

Archie Thomas was next out without scoring as he hit his own wicket to give Pawlett his fifth.

Devonald then bowled Ashley James for a duck as the game began to slip away from Town with them on 49-8.

Jack Scriven also fell for a duck when he was caught and bowled by Pawlett.

Summons had been a mainstay of the innings, hitting a four and a six in his knock of 24, but, fittingly, it was Pawlett who brought the game to a close as he bowled Summons.

Pawlett finished with excellent figures of 7-20, backed up well by Devonald (3-35).

The win gives Tish 27 points while Town remain second after picking up just six points from the game.

On Saturday (Jun 1), Tish will look to build on their win when they host Carew. Haverfordwest will look to get back to winning ways when they travel to Lawrenny.

A THILLING weekend of football in Pembrokeshire’s Second Division delivered key results that tightened the race for promotion and intensified the relegation battle.

Narberth 2-0 Hakin United II

Narberth bolstered their title aspirations with a commanding 2-0 victory over league leaders Hakin United II. Brychan David broke the deadlock with a clinical finish, and Jordan Williams secured the win with a second goal. The result leaves Narberth just two points behind Hakin in a hotly contested title race.

Merlins Bridge II 0-2 Fishguard Sports

Fishguard Sports continued their march towards a top-three finish, claiming a vital 2-0 win away at Merlins Bridge II. Ieuan Llewellyn coolly converted a penalty to give Fishguard the lead, while Luke Thomas added a second to seal the victory. With games in hand, Fishguard remain firmly in contention at the top end of the table.

Lawrenny 1-2 Neyland

Neyland edged a close contest against Lawrenny with a 2-1 win that keeps their top-half ambitions alive. Thomas Cole scored for the home side, but goals from Aidan Rees and Jack John secured all three points for Neyland in a hard-fought encounter.

Monkton Swifts II 1-7 Johnston

Johnston produced a dominant performance, thrashing Monkton Swifts II 7-1. Ryan Doyle netted twice, with further goals from Steve Allen, James Larsen, Marcus Allen, Callum Rees, and Joey George. The emphatic victory consolidates Johnston’s strong campaign, while Monkton Swifts II remain perilously close to the relegation zone.

Carew II 3-3 Solva

Carew II and Solva played out a dramatic 3-3 draw in a match filled with excitement. George Davies scored twice for Carew, with Charlie Perkins also on target. Solva responded with two goals from Josh Bland and an own goal that levelled the match. Both sides remain stuck in mid-table, with the result doing little to ease their relegation concerns.

Haverfordwest cruise to comfortable 33-0 win over Cefneithin

Haverfordwest 33 – Cefneithin 0

HAVERFORDWEST made a strong return to league action at Pembroke Road with a convincing 33-0 victory over bottom-placed Cefneithin. Despite a six-week absence from competitive rugby for the visitors, both sides put in a commendable effort to play expansive rugby in challenging conditions.

The Blues wasted no time asserting their dominance, scoring within the first minute of the match. After receiving the ball around halfway, centre Jack Evans made a powerful break, evading defenders and linking up with supporting players. The move culminated with scrum-half Liam Eaton receiving the ball and passing to outside-half Jack Codd, who slotted over the conversion for a 7-0 lead.

Haverfordwest’s forwards controlled the set-pieces, but their attempts to run the ball often resulted in knock-ons, as they looked to flick passes rather than build consistent phases. Cefneithin, on the other hand, showed more composure in their play, particularly through their half-backs Jack Willingham and Aled Thomas, and their back row of Raymond, Roberts, and Dickie.

The Blues’ midfield duo of Jack Evans and Matty Phillips posed constant threats, and it wasn’t long before they added to their tally. In the 24th minute, after some powerful carries from Jack Clancy, Jake Evans, Josh Young, and captain Karl Busch, Codd orchestrated a move that saw Evans slice through the Cefneithin defence to score under the posts. Codd converted the try, albeit off the upright, to make it 14-0.

Haverfordwest continued to press, but missed opportunities came in the form of a line-out throw-in that went crooked after Codd had kicked them close to the Cefneithin try line. However, the Blues weren’t to be denied, and soon after, another well-placed diagonal kick to the corner resulted in a fumble from the Cefneithin defence, allowing winger George Hopkins to pounce and dive over the line. Codd added the conversion from the touchline to give Haverfordwest a commanding 21-0 lead at the break.

The second half saw the Blues continue their dominance. The bonus-point try came in style when winger Guy Barrons was involved in a quick-moving attack. Quick hands among the forwards, including Dan Berry and Tom Carrington, created space for full-back Owain Roberts to break through and score under the posts. Codd’s simple conversion extended the lead further.

By this stage, Cefneithin had opted for uncontested scrums due to injuries, but the Blues kept pushing forward. A late fifth try came courtesy of back rower Mikey Griffiths, who dotted down after a determined run. Although the try was unconverted, Griffiths was later named man of the match for his tireless performance.

With this win, Haverfordwest maintain their strong position in the league, while Cefneithin will look to regroup after a challenging return to action.
