Lawrenny 67-5 Beat Whitland 66-7 by 5 wickets

LAWRENNY were crowned winners of the Under 15s league as they beat Whitland in the final played at St Ishmaels.

This years final was between the top two sides, from the two Zones both with 100% records with the Final being a closely contested affair, a repeat of the 2019 Under 13’s final. Lawrenny beating Kilgetty in the one semi-final and Whitland beating Pembroke Dock in the other.

Luc Owen Captain of Whitland won the toss against his counterpart Finley Lewis, Lawrenny and chose to bat. Oscar Lewis and Rhydian Eynon opened the bowling with Oscar picking the wicket of Ethan Ryan in the 3rd over.

Rhys Jones (15) and Luc Owen then formed a useful partnership moving the score onto 51 until the 15 over when Luc who played shots all around the ground had to retire on 38. Ethan (0-11) and Corey Hall (0-11) together with Rhys Eynon (0-12) had kept things as tight as possible.

However it was in the 16th over that Finley lewis (3-7) struck for Lawrenny with an excellent hat trick, all bowled, Middle stump, top of off and Leg stump. There was then a fine piece of fielding by Rhys Eynon with a direct hit to claim another wicket to remove the Whitland middle order.

Noah Williams (0-12) and the returning Oscar Lewis (3-9) picking up a further two wickets aided by a stumping by Will Allen saw Whitland finish on 66-7 in the 20th over.

It had been a tight spell of bowling by the Lawrenny team only conceding 5 extras which would prove decisive at the end of the day.

Opinion was divided at the break although Whitland knew they needed a good start and that’s exactly what they got.

A very tight spell of bowling by Luc Owen (1-3) picking the dangerous Will Allen and Charlie Bujega (0-10) followed by Ethan Ryan (2-13) and Cian Rees (1-9) Freddy Davies (0-6) kept picking up wickets on a regular basis this together with another good piece of fielding by Cian Rees with a direct hit to remove Ethan Hall (7). At 15 overs with the score on 53 compared to 51 in the first innings the game was evenly poised.

It was at this time the experienced Finley Lewis (27 not out) who had opened the batting who was still at the crease and had been accumulating runs slowly, increased the tempo. This together with Mr extras (18) saw Noah Williams hit the final runs to get Lawrenny over the line.

This was one of the closest finals for a number of years with both sides bowling very well backed up in the field by their respective teams and two good wicket keepers in Will Allen & Daniel Howells. Two excellent knocks by the respective Captains Luc Owen and Finley Lewis
