HAVERFORDWEST’s Dai Davies was just five runs short of a century as he helped his side to victory over Llangwm on Saturday.

In a high-scoring game, Llangwm posted 210-6 as five of their batsmen made scores of 30 or more.

After winning the toss, openers Will Beresford and Joe Kiff got Llangwm off to a good start with a first wicket stand worth 44 runs.

Kiff hit six fours in his score of 30 but he was then caught by George Thomas off the bowling of Archie Thomas.

Beresford and Gary Phillips then shared the best stand of the match as they put on 72 runs for the second wicket.

Phillips hit three fours and two sixes in his score of 40 but he was then trapped leg before by Simon Holliday.

Matthew Kiff did not last long in the middle as he was caught by Mike Jones off the bowling of Clive Tucker after facing nine balls.

Town began to hit back as Tucker then had Beresford caught by Archie Thomas on a score of 42 that included seven fours.

Holliday then bowled Richard Brock for a golden duck and when James Venables was caught by George Thomas off the bowling of Holliday, Llangwm had slipped to 138-6.

Noah and Ollie Davies then shared another 72 runs to see the home side to their total.

Ollie hit three fours and two sixes as his score of 41 came from 26 balls while Noah hit four fours in his knock of 32.

That set Town 211 to win but they lost opener Nikhil Mathias early on when he was caught by Gary James off the bowling of Matthew Kiff.

Simon Holliday, fresh from his Harrison Allen semi-final ton, and Dai Davies then shared 93 runs for the second wicket.

Holliday continued where he had left off as he hit six fours and four sixes in his score of 68 but he was then trapped leg before by Jo Phillips.

Phillips then also bowled Lee Summons as Town were reduced to 111-3.

Davies and Ben Field shared 65 runs for the fourth wicket as Town edged closer to their target. Field made a score of 21 before he was bowled by Ollie Davies.

Adam James hit a four and a six in his score of 12 from the eight balls he faced but his wicket, caught off the bowling of Ollie Davies, left Town on 196-5 with four overs left.

Davies continued though and after he hit ten fours and three sixes in his score of 95, a series of extras gave Town victory.

On Saturday (July 20), Haverfordwest are at home to Saundersfoot while Llangwm travel to Lawrenny.

It’s the time of the year again, Saturday see’s Bridge Meadow host the senior cup final. The sun has been shining and both teams will be dying to get on the pitch. This year the final will be contested by Goodwick United and Clarbeston Road.

League champions Goodwick will go into the final as favourites, and most around the county expect a Goodwick win. It has been an outstanding season for Goodwick however cup success has evaded them so far. Clarbeston Road have impressed everyone this season and really deserve their place in this years final.

Neill Crawshaw will referee the game, with Tudor Walters and Stefan Jenkins running the line.

There will be a unique contest on the pitch as brothers Will Haworth and Laurie Haworth come face to face on opposing teams. Adrian their father was a great player in the county, and played in many cup finals himself.

The stage is set, Clarby will feel less pressure than Goodwick and will be a threat with Haworth, John and Davies in attack. Meanwhile Goodwick are also blessed with quality players in every department, there is no weak link in O’Sullivans team. Cup football and finals in particular never go as people predict. On paper Goodwick are firm favourites, Clarbeston Road will be happy the game will be played on grass though and not paper, anything can happen! Hopefully it’ll be a good crowd down at the Meadow for the show piece of Pembrokeshire football.

Clarby stand in the way of Goodwick double

Two thrilling semi finals last weekend has meant Goodwick United and Clarbeston Road will meet in the senior cup final this coming Saturday.

Goodwick faced Pennar Robins in their semi final who pushed the champions very hard. Carl Vincent will be disappointed but proud of the Robins as they gave a great account of themselves. However in the end Goodwick’s quality and experience just was too much for Vincent’s team.

The other semi was an absolute thriller, and after a nail biting game Matthew Fox’ Clarby progressed to the final. A offside call has sparked a lot of debate around the county. However it seems that linesman Jenkins made an absolute perfect call so credit to him for that.

Both teams would have wanted a nice week of preparation for the final, maybe without any games to play. Unfortunately this hasn’t been possible due to the fixture backlog and both outfits have played already this week.

Goodwick will be favourites of course, however if anyone can upset the apple cart Saturday it’s this Clarbeston Road team. Fox’ outfit have impressed over and over this season. Without too much pressure on them, they are in a good place going into the final.

The double at one staged looked like the minimum Goodwick would be aiming for this season. However losses in other cup competitions, means its Senior Cup success or just the league title for the outstanding team of the season. Oddly becoming champions with no cup success maybe seen as a huge disappointment considering their dominance this season. A unique pressure. However if anyone can handle that pressure it’s O’Sullivans outfit.
