Neyland earn big win over Saundersfoot

Published

on

NEYLAND picked up another win on Saturday (July 31) as they beat Saundersfoot by 92 runs.

Saundersfoot were the last side to beat Neyland in the league when they last visited in 2019 but there was to be no repeat of that this time around.

Neyland batted first on home soil and they were able to score 200-8 from their 45 overs.

Scott Jones top scored with 60 as he and Nathan Banner frustrated the visitors who had bowled well early on to take two wickets.

Banner made a score of 39 while Will Hughes added 36.

Ashley Sutton and Ross Hardy made scores of 24 and 26 to help Neyland set Saundersfoot a target of 201 to win the game.

Sam Franklin bowled well for the visitors as he took three wickets for 26 runs. Tudor Hurle also claimed two wickets while Nick Cope finished with figures of 1-33.

Saundersfoot struggled early on in their reply and never looked likely to pull off the upset win.

Tom Mansbridge scored 17 and Simon Stanford scored 25 while Yannik Parker was Saundersfoot’s top scorer with 31 runs.

Scott Jones bowled well as he claimed figures of 4-26 and Geraint Rees also took three wickets.

Gary Lloyd and Ross Hardy claimed a wicket each as Saundersfoot were bowled out for 108.

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.”

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.
