Inward and Kiff star as Llangwm sink Herbie

Published

on

LLANGWM’s Steven Inward scored an unbeaten century to help his side to a comfortable win over Herbrandston on Saturday (May 29).

The home side posted an excellent total of 298-6 in their 45 overs but Herbie were unable to match that as they were bowled out for 50.

Herbie won the toss and elected to field but they would soon come to regret that decision.

Will Beresford and Phillip Llewellyn shared an opening partnership worth 41 runs. Llewellyn hit five fours and a six in his score of 29 but he was then caught by Ben Fairburn off the bowling of Robert Hood.

That brought Inward to the crease but he soon saw Beresford departing back to the pavilion as he was caught by Alex Ouzman off the bowling of Charlie Malloy.

Inward and Richard Brock then shared 52 runs for the third wicket with Brock hitting two fours and three sixes in a score of 30 from 25 balls.

Sam Birch then had Brock caught by Jonathan Bennett to reduce Llangwm to 98-3.

That soon became 102-4 as Luke Brock was caught off the bowling of Ashley Britton.

Inward had only reached a score of 20 at that point but he and Matthew Kiff began to hit some excellent shots.

They shared a fantastic, boundary-laden stand of 179 for the fifth wicket to take Llangwm’s total towards 300.

Inward reached his century with ten fours and four sixes to his name. At the other end, Kiff was not hanging about as he smashed seven sixes and four fours in a score of 95 from 73 balls.

He was unlucky to miss out on his century as he was caught by Bennett off the bowling of Birch as Herbie finally brought the partnership to an end.

There was one more wicket for Robert Kingston but Inward finished unbeaten on 115 as Llangwm set Herbie a target of 299 to win the game.

However, Herbie lost both openers for ducks as Sean Thomas was bowled by Noah Davies and Charlie Malloy was bowled by Steven Mills.

Mills also had Jonathan Bennet caught by Joseph Kiff on a score of 9 as the visitors struggled.

Matthew Kiff ran out Robert Hood and Mills picked up a third wicket as he bowled Ben Fairburn for a duck.

Mills later claimed the wickets of Ashley Britton and Alex Ouzman to finish with excellent figures of 5-8.

Robert Kingston made a score of 10 as he was Herbie’s only batsman to reach double figures but he fell to the bowling of Ollie Davies.

Davies also caught and bowled Sam Birch and had the wicket of James Manson to finish with figures of 3-27.

That saw Herbie bowled out for 50, giving Llangwm victory by 248 runs. It was their third win of the season which sees them move up into second place in Division 2.

Promotion, relegation and everything in between.

Published

As we come to the end of the 2023-2024 season it’s time to look at the winners and losers so to speak as most promotion and relegation battles are now all sewn up.

We begin at the very top where Goodwick United have blown away the first division to become deserved champions elect. At the opposite end of the table Fishguard Sports struggled all season and we comfortably relegated, going down with them are Neyland who’s relegation was confirmed a few weeks ago. Neither team were cut adrift and battled right until the end which is credit to both outfits, sometimes relegation can act as a spring broad and both clubs will be hoping this is the case.

Monkton Swifts reserves were the outstanding team in the second division and were a cut above the rest on their journey to becoming league champions on 56 points with an impressive plus 61 goal difference. As Monkton can’t be promoted due to their first team being in the first division it allowed both Herbrandston and St Ishmaels to be promoted. Herbrandston finished in third on 40 points, whilst the Mice just beat them to second place ending up on 42 points. Both clubs will now use the summer to prepare for the step up that awaits.

At the opposite end of the division, Cosheston never really got going and after their points deduction ended on a lowly 6 points which is never going to be enough to avoid relegation. The second relegation place was much closer with St Clears, Carew reserves and Broad Haven all being in a dog fight for the majority of the season. Broad Haven showed good fight and character which steered them clear of trouble while Carew found form at a key time, which means St Clears will play their football in the third division next season.
