ST ISHMAELS (5 pts) 177-9 lost to Carew (28 pts) 178-2 by 8 wkts CAREW’s Nick Scourfield scored a half century to help his side overcome St Ishmaels on Saturday. St Ishmaels scored 177-9 thanks to knocks of 72 from opener Peter Bradshaw and 44 from Daniel Howells. Rhys Davies bowled well to take four wickets to restrict St Ishmaels to under 200. Peter Bradshaw and Daniel Howells put on 92 for the first wicket partnership to get St Ishmaels off to a good start. Howells was the first man to fall when he was stumped by Tom Scourfield after scoring 44, which included four 4s and a six. Bradshaw batted on but he lost partners for cheap runs as St Ishmaels slipped to 135-6. That spell saw Rhys Davies take four wickets including that of Andrew Williams and Daniel Richards for ducks. Bradshaw eventually fell for 72 when he was caught by Tom Scourfield off the bowling of Tom Davies. Andrew Pawlett and Robbie Thomas scored 12 and 16 respectively to take St Ishmaels to an average 177-9. Ian Sefton and Nick Scourfield got Carew off to a similarly good start as they put on 71 for the first wicket, but Sefton was two runs short of a half century when he was stumped by Peter Bradshaw. Simon Wood then scored 23 before he was bowled by Jonathan Pawlett. St Ishmaels could not take further wickets and Nick Scourfield went on to score 58 with Tim Hicks scoring 26 to guide them over the line.
