Cresselly win Division 1 title on final day
CRESSELLY claimed the Division 1 title on Saturday (Aug 20) as they beat Narberth by seven wickets.
Going into the game, Cresselly were 17 points ahead of nearest challengers Llangwm and knew they just needed a couple of bonus points to ensure their first title since 2011.
Narberth won the toss and chose to bat but they were bowled out for 140.
Cresselly took three early wickets to leave Narberth in trouble but Jamie McCormack batted well as he scored 48.
Tom Murphy was the pick of the bowlers for Cresselly with figures of 3-26. Nick Cope also took three wickets.
In reply, Davy Johns took two wickets for Narberth but it wasn’t enough to stop the champions-elect.
Phil Williams scored 46 and Matthew Morgan added 48 as Cresselly cruised to their target.
Cresselly have finished as runners up on a number of occasions in previous seasons but they were able to celebrate on Saturday night.
They have won 12 of their 18 games, losing just twice, and win the league by 18 points.
Cresselly captain Iwan Izzard told the Herald: “I feel honoured to have firstly captained such a great club, and been part of a strong team. From when I was a young kid being coached by Dai Cherry, I always dreamt of just captaining the first team, so being able to win some silverware and lift the league trophy is extra special.
“We had a couple of really close games this season, and at certain points of those games it really could have gone either way, but the fighting spirit of the team really showed and that’s credit to the boys.
“We had a few weeks this season where we had boys away for one reason or another, but always had quality players stepping in to play and the lads were always willing and supportive.
“We are already looking forward to next season, where we can hopefully defend our title, and try to add more silverware in the form of cup competitions.”

Clubs event inspires girls to try new sports
MORE than 50 young people took part in a multi-sport taster event designed to encourage girls to get involved in new activities.
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.
Local sports clubs and activity providers offered a wide range of sessions, including cricket, self-defence, rowing, dance, hockey, tennis, table tennis, rugby and basketball. Water for participants was kindly provided by Princes Gate.
Young Ambassadors from Ysgol Bro Gwaun also played a key role in helping the event run smoothly.
Dan Bellis, of Sport Pembrokeshire, said: “It was a fantastic evening and it was brilliant to see so many young people and coaches in attendance.
“There was a wide range of activities on offer and everyone clearly enjoyed themselves.
“We hope the girls who took part have discovered a new sport or activity and will continue their involvement with the local clubs and providers who supported the event.”

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.
