CRESSELLY fell just two runs short of victory on Saturday (Jun 15) as their game with rivals Carew ended in a draw.

Carew scored 219-6 in their innings with Nick Scourfield and Tom Davies in good form but it looked as if Cresselly were going to knock off the runs needed.

However, with all results possible with two balls to go, Cresselly fell just two runs short of victory on 218-8, meaning the game would finish all square.

Davies and Scourfield got the visitors off to a good start with an opening stand worth 147 runs.

Matthew Lewis made the breakthrough for the home side as he had Scourfield caught on 72 by Iwan Izzard who made a stunning catch on the boundary.

Scourfield and Shaun Whitfield continued to put runs on the board with another good stand worth 59 runs.

Tom Murphy brought that to an end when he had Whitfield caught by Scott Arthur after a good knock of 38.

Murphy struck again soon after as he had Davies caught by Dan Sutton on a score of 82 that included four fours and three sixes.

Tim Hicks did not last long in the middle as he was caught by Simon Cole off the bowling of Murphy.

Nick Davies was next to go as he was caught by Sam Harts off the bowling of Cole and Ian Sefton was then run out.

It saw Carew limp to their total which could have been smaller had it not been for a few dropped catches.

Murphy was the pick of the bowlers for Cresselly with figures of 3-32.

Cresselly lost opener Neil Williams early in their reply as he was bowled by Shaun Whitfield but Dan Sutton and Simon Cole shared a stand of 46 runs for the second wicket.

Sutton hit four fours and a six as he scored 31 but he was then trapped leg before by Tom Davies.

Cole and Iwan Izzard then shared another good stand worth 99 runs which looked to have set Cresselly up for the win.

But, Whitfield struck again as he had Izzard, who had scored 43, caught to leave Cresselly on 168-3.

He wasn’t done there as he then bowled Cole on a score of 74.

Davies then took over as he trapped Scott Arthur leg before for a duck as the home side quickly found themselves 168-5.

Soon after he had Ryan Lewis caught by Nick Davies and when Neilson Cole was caught off the bowling of Tom Davies Cresselly were 181-7.

Tom Murphy and Matthew Lewis steadied the ship with a stand of 33 which took them to within touching distance of victory.

Murphy had scored 32 but Ian Hicks had him caught to leave Cresselly on 214-8.

Lewis could only add four runs to his score as they finished two runs short of victory.

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.
