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.

HAKIN United Over 40s travelled to the Llandarcy Academy of Sport last Sunday (Nov 28) to play Swansea University.

Hakin took the lead inside 10 minutes as Matthew Price raced clear of the Uni defence before side footing the ball into the bottom corner.

A great start for the Veteran Vikings, but on the half hour mark, two quick goals for the Swansea men turned the game on its head.

A third goal just before half time put Swansea firmly in the drivers seat, but, the Hakin players felt that the goal was offside and that there was a handball in the build-up.

However, despite all of the protests, the goal stood.

Hakin looked far more purposeful in the second half, but they failed to find a goal that was going to get them back in the game.

Hakin are next in action on Sunday, December 12, when Church Village visit the Obs.

Hakin 40s: Jim Payne, Nick Jones, Adam Collins, Ali Davies, Paul Hannon, Marc Devonald, Simon Atyeo, Mark Riley, Paul Jones, Matthew Price, Phil Richards.

FISHGUARD scored a late try to seal their first win of the League 2 West season on Saturday (Nov 27) as they came from behind to beat Nantgaredig.

The Seagulls held a 12-5 lead at the break but Nant hit back in the second half to take a 17-12 lead.

Luke Marshall and Robbie Jones went over for the visitors while James Griffiths added one conversion.

Winger Iwan Thomas scored for the home side and vice-captain Gavin Orson scored and they were also awarded a penalty try.

Griffiths then slotted a penalty through the posts to bring the score back to 17-15.

With the clock ticking over the 80-minute mark, Fishguard attacked and were rewarded when Griffiths scored the try to put his side into the lead. Griffiths then added the extras before the referee blew for full time.

It left the home side feeling deflated having had the victory taken away from them in the last play of the game.

On Saturday, December 4, Fishguard are at home to Milford Haven while Nantgaredig travel to Tycroes.
