LAWRENNY earned their twelfth win of the season on Saturday (Aug 17) as they edged to a two-wicket win away to St Ishmaels.

Tish batted first after Lawrenny won the toss and they made a good score of 189-6 from their 45 overs.

Tish lost Peter Bradshaw for a duck early on when he was bowled by Jamie Lewis but Daniel Nicholas and Harry Richards shared 48 runs for the second wicket.

Richards hit five fours and a six as he scored 39 but he was then caught by Kurtis Marsh off the bowling of Brad McDermott-Jenkins.

The same players then swapped roles to dismiss Nicholas and reduce Tish to 84-3.

Rob Williams then bowled Daniel Howells before Marsh did the same to Brennan Devonald who departed without scoring.

That saw Tish slip to 92-5 but Phil Cockburn and Jack Nicholas then shared 94 runs for the sixth wicket to put their side in a good position.

Cockburn hit thirteen fours and a six in his score of 89 before he was caught by Steve Lewis off the bowling of Ryan Morton.

Nicholas finished not out on 28 as Tish made a score of 189, setting Lawrenny 190 to win.

Lawrenny lost Kurtis Marsh and James Buckle early in their reply as the visitors were reduced to 14-2.

Brennan Devonald took both wickets and Harry Nicholas then bowled Harry Thomas on a score of 29 to leave Lawrenny on 46-3.

Andrew Skeels and Brad McDermott-Jenkins then shared 54 runs for the fourth wicket as they looked to get their side going.

Skeels hit four boundaries in his score of 28 but he was then bowled by Devonald.

He then claimed his fourth wicket as he bowled James Phillips for a first ball duck.

The score quickly became 100-6 as McDermott-Jenkins was caught by Daniel Richards off the bowling of Andrew Pawlett on a score of 33 that included three fours and two sixes.

Pawlett then bowled Joe Kidney as Lawrenny slipped further into trouble on 119-7.

Steve Lewis and Ryan Morton then shared 59 runs for the eighth wicket as they edged towards their target.

Lewis hit four fours and a six in his score of 43 but he was then bowled by Harry Nicholas.

Morton and Rob Williams then kept their nerve to see Lawrenny to 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.
