Carew crash in local derby

Cresselly (153 for 3) beat Carew (149 for 9)

Umpires: Ray Kane and Bob Flute Scorers: Louisa Cole and Martin Scourfield

Carews hopes of a second championship in three seasons were considerably reduced as they went down to defeat in their local derby against Cresselly, who restricted their neighbours to 149 for 9 with some tight bowling and good fielding before another quality innings by Simon Cole saw them home.

Carew were never able to get at veteran Phil James, who conceded only 17 runs from 12 miserly overs as teenager Mark Harris charged in at the other end to remove James Owen and Nick Scourfield. Skipper Rob Hicks and Ian Sefton managed to build a stand of 71 but without being able to up the tempo on a damp pitch as Denzil Hughes and Lyn Richards claimed three wickets apiece, with Carew even failing to secure maximum batting bonus points as Barry Ansell was run out off the last ball seeking that vital run.

Cresselly started well through Julian Arthur and Phil Williams before the latter was adjudged LBW to Darren Thomas. But Simon Cole was soon into his considerable stride and with five fours and two sixes he reached 68 before he was dismissed by Owen.

Julian Arthur had earlier departed with 33 but allthough Ryan Lewis was run out cheaply there was no late reprieve for Carew as Lyn Richards (25) and skipper Richard Harris saw Cresselly home in only 37.4 overs.
