LAWRENNY’s Kurtis Marsh scored his second century in three games but it proved in vain as their game with Haverfordwest was abandoned on Saturday (Jun 5).

Haverfordwest had won the toss and chose to field in a game reduced to 42 overs after the start was delayed.

It proved a good decision as Johnny White had Harry Thomas caught by Simon Williams and soon after, White trapped James Phillips leg before to leave Lawrenny on 15-2.

Steve Lewis and Marsh then shared 49 runs for the third wicket with Marsh edging towards a half century.

Clive Tucker then had Lewis caught by Jack Scriven on a score of 11 to reduce the visitors further to 64-3.

Marsh and Joe Kidney shared 90 runs for the fourth wicket to put Lawrenny in a strong position.

Kidney hit six fours in a score of 45 but he was caught and bowled by Williams.

Marsh had made his way to a score of 90 and he soon reached his century with nines fours and a six in his score of 102.

He could not add to that however, as he was caught by Dan Field off the bowling of Williams.

Dai Davies then removed Kyle Marsh but Ryan Morton hit three fours and a six as he reached 41 off 35 balls.

He was bowled by Davies and Thomas Cole’s late score of 12 took Lawrenny to a total of 223-7 from their 42 overs.

Lawrenny’s Rob Williams took the wicket of Mikey Jones early in Town’s reply and Jamie Lewis took the wicket of Danny Potter but that was as good as it got.

Ben Field and Dai Davies had reached scores of 19 and 11 respectively but rain intervened and it meant that no further play was possible.

Five youth team players earn praise after impressing at championship level

CRYMYCH RUGBY CLUB has hailed the contribution of five of its youth players after they stepped up to feature in a senior side at championship level.

The young players, who remain part of the club’s youth setup, were given the opportunity to test themselves in a higher-level fixture, and impressed coaches and supporters alike with their attitude and commitment on the field.

Club representatives said it was “fantastic to see” the dedication shown by the youngsters, who rose to the occasion in what was described as a special experience for both the players and the club.

The match provided a valuable opportunity for development, allowing the next generation of Crymych players to gain experience in a more competitive environment while contributing to the senior squad.

The rugby club said the move reflects its long-term focus on nurturing homegrown talent and creating a clear pathway from youth rugby into the senior game.

Officials added that the future of the club looks bright, with the performance of the young “Teirw” – or Bulls – offering reassurance that the next generation is ready to carry the club forward.

The club congratulated the players on their achievement and said it hopes to see more youth players progressing through the ranks in the coming seasons.
