Cresselly close the gap to top two thanks to Sutton’s century
WITH other Division 1 games being abandoned, Cresselly took full advantage to close the gap to the top two in the table.
They beat St Ishmaels by 86 runs on Saturday (Jun 5) with Dan Sutton scoring an unbeaten century in Cresselly’s score of 237-7.
However, it was Tish who began brightly with Harry Nicholas running out Phil Williams and Matthew Morgan was then caught by Jack Nicholas off the bowling of Brennan Devonald.
Ieuan Hawkins then trapped Iwan Izzard leg before before bowling Alex Bayley with the very next ball.
Simon Cole survived the hat-trick ball before he and Dan Sutton shared a game changing partnership.
Cresselly had slipped to 57-4 but Cole and Sutton’s fifth wicket stand of 94 put the visitors in control of the game.
Cole hit three fours in his score of 41 but the partnership came to an end when he was trapped leg before by Harry Nicholas.
Dan James added 10 to the score before he also fell to Nicholas as Tish reduced Cresselly to 183-6.
Sutton and Ryan Lewis shared a stand of 37 to take the score past 200.
Lewis hit two fours in a score of 26 from 21 balls but he was then caught by Peter Thomas off the bowling of Jordan Milich.
Sutton had reached 99 and he wasted little time in reaching his century before going on to finish unbeaten on 116 with fifteen fours.
It meant Tish would need 238 to win but they soon found themselves struggling on 46-3.
Ryan Lewis bowled Steven Hartley early on and Tom Arthur then had Harry Nicholas caught by Matthew Morgan.
Brennan Devonald hit four fours in a score of 21 but he was next to go as he caught by Arthur off the bowling of Lewis.
Jordan Milich and Philip Cockburn shared 35 runs for the fourth wicket but Dan James claimed his first wicket of the day when Milich edged the ball to Jamie Goldsworthy.
Jack Nicholas scored 14 but he was then bowled by Simon Cole and James Hall was then run out as Tish wickets began to fall.
That left them on 113-6 and it soon became 120-7 as Cockburn, who had hit six fours and a six in his score of 41, was bowled by Cole.
James then picked up the wicket of Iuean Hawkins before Alex Bayley had Peter Thomas stumped by Goldsworthy.
The game was brought to a close when Arthur had Michael Cockburn caught by Simon Cole.
Andrew Pawlett was left unbeaten on 12 but Tish were bowled out for 151.

The Sport Pembrokeshire Community Clubs event was held at Fishguard Leisure Centre on Sunday (Dec 1) for pupils from Ysgol Bro Gwaun and its feeder schools, with sponsorship from Valero.

Keeper scores 121st-minute wonder goal before saving two penalties
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.
