LAWRENNY booked their place in the semi-finals of the Duggie Morris Cup on Tuesday (Jun 7) as they beat Carew.

The holders batted first and made 195-9 from their 20 overs.

Kyle Marsh and Steve Lewis opened up with a stand of 28 but Marsh departed having been caught by James Hinchliffe off the bowling of Shaun Whitfield.

Lewis and Troy Purslowe then shared 36 runs for the second wicket but Lewis was caught by Luke Hicks off the bowling of Kerry Waters on a score of 36.

Purslowe and Morton continued to put runs on the board as they added 35 runs for the third wicket.

Morton scored 10 but he was caught by Nick Davies off the bowling of Waters.

The good partnerships continued as Purslowe and Tom Cole added 27 runs for the fourth wicket with the former reaching his half century.

Purslowe could not add to it though as, having hit three fours and three sixes in his score of 53, he was bowled by Waters.

That left Lawrenny on 126-4 and they were soon five down as Jamie Phillips was caught by Brian Hall off the bowling of Sion Jenkins.

Lawrenny still had five overs to play with and Cole and Harry Thomas looked to push the score on with a stand of 21 for the sixth wicket.

Cole had hit a four and two sixes in his score of 25 but he was bowled by Whitfield.

The runs continued to come as Thomas and Joe Kidney added another 24 runs. Thomas was then bowled by Hinchliffe on a score of 18.

Hinchliffe bowled Rob Williams and Finley Lewis late on as Carew prevented Lawrenny’s score from going over the 200-mark.

Kidney finished unbeaten on 15 and Carew would need 196 to win the game.

Carew lost Nick Davies early in their reply as he was caught by Kyle Marsh off the bowling of Jamie Lewis.

Tim Hicks and Rhys Davies then shared 62 runs for the second wicket to put their side in a strong position.

Hicks hit four fours and a six in his score of 33 but he was stumped by Jamie Phillips off the bowling of Steve Lewis.

Davies hit five fours and a six in his score of 39 but he was then bowled by Ryan Morton to leave Carew on 97-3.

Finley Lewis then had Shaun Whitfield caught by Troy Purslowe as Carew slipped to 101-4 in the 12th over.

Lewis also bowled Gareth Lewis in the fifteenth over before doing the same to Luke Hicks, who had reached a score of 20, moments later.

That left Carew on 125-6 and they only had five overs left to get their remaining 71 runs needed.

Brian Hall and Ceri Brace added 21 runs for the seventh wicket but Hall was then bowled on a score of 7 by Harry Thomas.

Thomas also bowled Brace on a score of 11 before Lewis bowled Sion Jenkins.

Carew could only reach 157-9 from their 20 overs meaning Lawrenny had secured their place in the last four.

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.
