Champions see off Town

Published

on

NEYLAND cemented their position as Division 1 Champions on Saturday (Aug 17) as they beat Haverfordwest by five wickets.

Town had reached 71-2 in the nineteenth over and looked well set to go on and make a good score with Danny Potter having reached his half century.

However, his wicket sparked a collapse as Town crumbled to 102 all out inside 39 overs.

Town did their best to pull off a surprise win as they took five Neyland wickets but Ross Hardy kept his nerve to see Neyland over the line.

Neyland won the toss and elected to field and they saw Danny Potter and Mike Jones shared 28 runs for the first wicket inside the first ten overs.

Banner then bowled Mike Jones and soon after, Nick Koomen trapped Simon Holliday leg before on a score of 12 that included a four and a six.

Potter and Dai Davies shared another 24 runs for the third wicket before Potter, who hit nine fours in his score of 53, was caught by George Evans off the bowling of Andrew Miller.

That left Town on 71-3 and it soon became 80-4 when Miller had Davies caught by Koomen.

Ross Hardy then trapped Ben Field leg before and with the very next ball did the same to Dan Field to plunge Town further intro trouble on 80-6.

Hardy then claimed his third wicket when he had Jack Scriven stumped by Sean Hannon and Miller then claimed his third as he had Lee Summons caught by Ashley Sutton.

That left Town on 82-8 but Ashley James and Simon Williams offered some late resistance.

James scored 16 but then saw himself caught by Sutton off the bowling of Tom Pritchard.

The same bowler then brought the innings to a close as he bowled Williams, giving Neyland a target of 103 for victory.

The home side lost Henry Durrant early in their reply when he was caught by Jack Scriven off the bowling of Ashley James.

Nick Koomen and Geraint Rees then shared 41 runs for the second wicket as they moved closer to their target.

Clive Tucker then had Koomen caught by Lee Summons on a score of 22 and soon after he had Rees caught by Danny Potter.

Simon Holliday then had Ashley Sutton caught by Jack Scriven and when Holliday bowled George Evans, Neyland had slipped to 63-5.

However, Ross Hardy and Nathan Banner held their nerve to see Neyland to victory.

Banner hit four fours as his score of 19 came from 18 balls while Hardy was not out on 34 from 24 balls, the last of his four sixes winning the game for the Champions.

After the game, Neyland were presented with the Division 1 trophy by County Chairman Paul Webb and sponsors representative Brian Hawkins.

On Saturday (Aug 24), Neyland will look to round their season off in style as they travel to Whitland.

Town will look to keep hold of fifth place as they take on fourth placed Carew.

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.
