Pembroke (123 for 6) lost to Pembroke Dock (135-9) by 12 runs

Not enough: Steve Mitchell’s knock of 37 was not enough to give

BRAGGING rights went to Pembroke Dock last Tuesday (May 31), as they were able to hold off Pembroke to win by 12 runs in the first round of the Alec Colley Cup.

The Dock won the toss and elected to bat first and despite the loss of an early wicket they made a good start.

Nick Daley and Peter Kingdom shared a partnership of 89 for the second wicket to put the Dock in a good position.

Kingdom hit five fours and a six in his knock of 42 before he was caught by Colin James off the bowling of Jake Seaton.

Daley also looked in good form as he hit six fours in a score of 44 but he also fell victim to Seaton when he was stumped by Steve Mitchell.

That was as good as it got for the Dock as Jake Seaton took another four wickets to finish with excellent figures of 6-34.

Billy Wood also chipped in with another two wickets as Pembroke Dock finished on a score of 135-9 from their 20 overs.

Pembroke made a good start in their reply before two wickets in as many balls from Steve Alford saw them fall to 34-2.

Jack Harries had made 14 for Pembroke before he fell to Alford but Steve Mitchell looked in good form.

Mitchell guided Pembroke to 74-3 off 12 overs as it looked like Pembroke might go on to win the game.

However, Mitchell was out having played a number of good shots for a score of 37.

That seemed to derail Pembroke and despite Tom Barrass finishing not out on 23, some good bowling meant that Pembroke fell 12 runs short of their target.

Alford finished with figures of 2-21 while Andrew Woods also took two wickets finishing with figures of 2-35.

Pembroke Dock now go into the second round of the competition where they will play away at Whitland on June 14.

Also on Tuesday (May 31), Haverfordwest eased into the second round as they made a mammoth 181- 3 from their twenty overs with Archie Thomas scoring 73 and Gareth Davies finishing not out on 70.

In reply, Llanrhian were only able to reach 62-7 from their 20 overs to give Haverfordwest victory by 119 runs.

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.
