Duggie Morris Cup quarter finals: Carew, Llangwm and Narberth through
CAREW, Llangwm and Narberth have all won their respective Duggie Morris Cup quarter finals this week.
Tonight, (May 25) Saundersfoot host Neyland for the last spot in the semi-finals.
On Tuesday, Carew beat St Ishmaels by 32 runs. Carew won the toss and chose to bat first and they scored 147-8 in their 20 overs.
They lost Rhys Davies and Shaun Whitfield early on but scores of 31 (five fours) and 18 from Morgan Grieve got Carew going.
Gareth Lewis also made a score of 18 before a late unbeaten score of 20 from Iori Hicks saw Carew to their total, setting Tish 148 to win the game.
Lewis Rhead was again the pick of the bowlers as he finished with figures of 3-24 from his four overs.
Jonathan Pawlett and Robbie Thomas each picked up a wicket while Phil Llewellyn, Huw Scriven and Brennan Devonald each claimed a run out.
Tish lost Phil Llewellyn and Jonathan Pawlett early in their reply, both falling to Iori Hicks, but Brennan Devonald looked in fine form.
He smashed seven fours and three sixes in his score of 60 from 33 balls but when he fell to Rhys Davies, Tish’s innings began to falter.
Only two other batsmen made it into double figures as Mark White and Shaun Whitfield both claimed two wickets in as many balls.
Peter Bradshaw finished unbeaten on 17 but Tish finished their innings on 115 all out.
Llangwm were victorious in their quarter final on Wednesday (May 24) as they beat Division 2 side Llanrhian by seven wickets.

It took Llangwm just eight overs to knock off the required runs with Steven Mills top scoring on 31. Matthew Kiff added 22 before Luke Brock finished unbeaten on 19 to see his side over the line.
Tuesday’s other quarter final saw Narberth host Burton. Burton batted first and made a good score of 161-4 in their 20 overs.
Narberth also batted exceptionally to get the runs needed, winning the game in the 17th over.
