PEMBROKE DOCK sealed a derby-day win over Pembroke in Division 2 on Saturday (Jun 26) as they beat them by 49 runs.

The Dock won the toss and chose to bat first, amassing a total of 180-9 from their 45 overs.

Openers Jake Davies and Jake Griffiths shared 39 runs for the first wicket but it was Jonathan Rogers who made the breakthrough for the visitors.

He had Griffiths caught by Jack Harries on a score of 34 that included five fours and a six.

Davies and Scott Griffiths shared another 25 runs for the second wicket before Pembroke hit back.

Davies was caught by Harries off the bowling of Rob Smythe on a score of 22.

Sam Davies then bowled both Griffiths, on a score of 14, and George Smith and he also claimed a third when he had Tom Grimwood stumped by Phil Hay.

Davies wasn’t finished there as he had Billy Wood caught by Paul White.

That was the last of his wickets as Davies went on to finish with figures of 4-29 from his nine overs.

Davies’ spell left the Dock reeling on 80-6 but Nick Daley and Archie Hillier-Wood steadied the ship with a seventh wicket stand worth 41 runs.

Daley hit four fours and a six in his score of 28 before he was caught by Tom Kaijaks off the bowling of Kevin Jenkins.

Euan McDonald added 6 runs to the score before he was caught by Hay off the bowling of Rogers.

Rhys Daley was run out and the Dock were in danger of being bowled out with the score on 149-9.

Hillier-Wood and Rob Hearn were able to survive until the end though as they added another 31 runs to the total.

Hearn finished not out on 17 while Hillier-Wood finished unbeaten on 41.

Needing 181 to win, Pembroke’s reply got off to a bad start and they soon found themselves struggling on 13-4.

Euan McDonald had Jack Harries caught by Rob Hearn for a duck and Billy Wood also sent Andrew Hay back without scoring as he was caught by Scott Griffiths.

McDonald then trapped Paul White leg before to leave the visitors on 2-3.

Phil Hay scored 9 but he was then bowled by McDonald who claimed his third wicket of the day.

With their side four down, Jonathan Rogers and Luke Butler looked to rebuild the innings and they shared 95 runs for the fifth wicket.

Rogers hit nine fours as he made his way to a score of 58 but he was then caught by McDonald off the bowling of Nick Daley.

Butler had five fours in his score of 41 but when he was caught by Scott Griffiths off the bowling of Daley, Pembroke’s chances of victory all but disappeared.

Daley then had Will Davies caught by McDonald and Tom Kaijaks was run out by Jake Griffiths.

Sam Davies was caught by Daley off the bowling of Hearn before McDonald returned to bowl Kevin Jenkins to claim his fourth wicket.

That gave him excellent figures of 4-19 while Daley also had good figures of 3-26 from his eight overs.

The win for the Dock keeps them top of the table as they continue their march to the top division of Pembrokeshire cricket.

HAVERFORDWEST 13-52 TENBY UNITED

TENBY UNITED asserted their dominance in a knockout cup clash against Haverfordwest, securing a commanding 52-13 victory on Saturday.

The Seasiders entered the match as strong favourites given the gulf between the two sides in league standings. Despite a determined effort from Haverfordwest, they trailed by 18 points at halftime and conceded another 21 in the second half without adding to their tally.

Jack Broadhurst opened the scoring for Tenby before Haverfordwest responded with a well-worked try from Guy Barrons, converted by Jack Codd. However, Tenby quickly regained control. Hywel Baker powered over, Kyle Rossiter finished a forward drive, and Tom Edmonds crossed after a break from Dai Jones. Lloyd Thomas added the extras before No. 8 Jack Brown crashed over just before the break to extend the lead.

The Blues had promising spells and earned two penalties, both converted by Codd, but failed to capitalise on further opportunities. In the second half, Tenby’s dominance continued. Gwion Jones, Lloyd Thomas, and Ryan Bolton all added tries, with Thomas finishing the match with 17 points in a one-sided contest.
