Narberth (168-9) lost to Haverfordwest (169-8) by 2 wkts

HAVERFORDWEST’s Nigel Delaney scored the winning runs in a closely fought match against Narberth on Saturday. Narberth made 168-9 from their overs while in reply Haverfordwest just survived as they reached their target with two wickets in hand. The home side made a good start to their innings as Marc Hughes and Richard Adams shared 76 for the first wicket. Hughes made 40 before he was caught by Nitin Mathias off the bowling of AJ Revu. Kyle Quartermaine then fell for a duck when he was clean bowled by Clive Tucker. Tucker was far from finished as he then claimed the wickets of Richard Adams, Mike Scale and Ben Quartermaine. Adams was on 36 before he was trapped lbw and Ben Quartermaine was also clean bowled when he was on 19 Aaron Keane and Ben Hughes then shared 27 for the sixth wicket before Keane was bowled by Simon Holliday. Ben Hughes fell in the next over for a run-a-ball 28 leaving the score 161-7. Narberth could only add seven runs in the closing stages and two more wickets fell with the last two balls. Simon Holliday had Ian Hughes caught by Huw Scriven before Owen Richards was run out by Nigel Delaney with the last ball of the innings. Haverfordwest made a slow start to their innings as opening bowlers Ian Hughes and Ben Quartermaine each bowled a maiden over. Then with the first ball of the third over Kieran Griffiths was caught by Mike Scale off the bowling of Ian Hughes. Narberth?s bowlers continued to apply the pressure and restricted them to 13-1 from the first ten overs. However, Simon Holliday and David Davies then set about improving their score as they put on 85 for the second wicket. Davies hit five fours in his knock of 32 before he was caught by Marc Hughes off the bowling of Kyle Quartermaine. Adam James fell for a quickfire 21 from 18 balls which included one four and two sixes and Danny Potter fell shortly after with both falling to the Quartermaine brothers. Simon Holliday was the next man out when he was caught by Mike Scale off the bowling of Ian Hughes for a well-made knock of 55 which featured seven fours and a six. AJ Revu made a late 16 and shared a partnership of 23 with Nigel Delaney, and it was Delaney who went on to hit the winning runs finishing not out on 17. Ian Hughes and Ben Quartermaine both finished with three wickets, but it wasn’t enough as Haverfordwest reached their target with five overs to spare.

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.
