Banner and Hannon see champs to victory

Published

on

The Town’s Simon ‘Doc’ Holliday made 67 valuable runs for his side.

Neyland (170-9) beat Haverfordwest (169-9) by 1 wkt NATHAN BANNER and Sean Hannon were the heroes for Neyland on Saturday as they guided their side to a one-wicket win over Haverfordwest. 

Banner was also busy in the field as he took the first three wickets of Haverfordwest’s innings and then took two catches late on. Those wickets saw the Town struggling on 47-3, but Simon Holliday and AJ Revu shared a partnership of 64 to get their back on track. Revu was caught by Gregg Miller off the bowling of Nicholas Koomen on 33 as wickets continued to fall, and they were reduced to 128-6 as Koomen took his second wicket of the game. That brought Huw Scriven to the crease and he supported his opening batsmen well as he and Holliday added 31 for the seventh wicket. Holliday was eventually caught by Ashley Sutton off the bowling of Andrew Miller for 67. Miller was not done there and he took two further wickets to leave Haverfordwest on 169-9. Any thoughts Neyland had that the target might be an easy one to chase were soon extinguished as they were reduced to 15-2 in their reply. Ashley Sutton and Nicholas Koomen shared 38 for the next wicket, but Haverfordwest’s Adam James was again in fine form as he had both batsmen trapped LBW. Andrew Miller scored 32 before he was caught by Jonathan Strawbridge off the bowling of AJ Revu. Nathan Banner and Sean Hannon remained calm to guide their side over the line. Hannon was not out on 15 while Banner was his side’s top scorer with 47 from 46 balls.

Published

on

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.
