A CENTURY from Lawrenny’s Kurtis Marsh gave his side a narrow two-wicket win over Narberth on Saturday (May 22).

In a game reduced to 32 overs a side, Lawrenny won the toss but elected to field first.

They were able to keep Narberth to 158-9 in their innings with Jamie Lewis and Ryan Morton each claiming three wickets.

Narberth lost two wickets early in their reply as Lewis bowled Richard Adams before Rob Williams had Hadleigh Luff caught by Joe Kidney.

Morton then bowled Jordan Howell as Narberth slipped to 40-3.

Jamie McCormack and Kyle Quartermaine then shared 37 runs for the fourth wicket as they looked to get their side into a good position.

McCormack hit three fours and a six in a score of 29 but he was then bowled by Morton.

Morton then also bowled Lewis Hough, who added 9 runs to the total, as Narberth were five down with the score on 104.

Kyle was joined by brother Ben and they shared 27 runs for the sixth wicket.

Kyle hit one four and two sixes as his score of 38 came from 34 balls but he was caught and bowled by Jamie Lewis.

Ben hit two fours and a six in a knock of 24 from 15 balls as they tried to accelerate the score.

However, he was caught by Kurtis Marsh off the bowling of Steve Lewis who then also had Loui Davies caught by Matt Lewis.

Daniel Hughes then hit a four and a six in his late four-ball spell but he was caught by Tom Cole off the bowling of Jamie Lewis.

That set Lawrenny a target of 159 to win the game but they lost opener James Buckle to a second ball duck and soon after Ben Quartermaine bowled Kyle Marsh.

That left them on 3-2 but opener Kurtis Marsh and Steve Lewis shared 39 runs for the third wicket.

Lewis scored 26 (three fours, one six), but he was trapped leg before by Lewis Hough who then also had Joe Kidney caught by Kyle Quartermaine.

That left Lawrenny on 52-4 but Marsh and Tom Cole shared 63 runs for the fifth wicket.

Marsh was on 21 when Kidney departed but he pushed on to reach his half century.

Matthew Johns then came on to bowl Cole and he also had Ryan Morton caught by Kyle Quartermaine, Matt Lewis stumped and Rob Williams caught by Lewis Hough as Narberth battled back.

The wicket of Williams left Lawrenny on 147-8 and with Marsh sitting on 96.

In the 31^st over he smashed a six off a no ball to reach his century and two balls later he smashed his eighth six of the game to win it for Lawrenny.

Marsh finished unbeaten on an excellent score of 108 from 105 balls which also included seven fours.

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.
