Pembroke County Cricket Club: Llangwm (297-7) lost to Kilgetty (303-2) by 8 wickets

There was an incredible game of high scoring at Pill Parks where Llangwm piled on 297-7 - and yet still lost by 8 wickets!

The home side were put into bat and fell to 23-2 as Ross Hardy removed Jo Kiff (2) and Noah Davies (8), but then came a stand of 187 between Will Beresford and Matthew Kiff.

The pair went ballistic as Kiff blasted nine fours and five sixes in his 105, eventually bowled by Christian Phillips, and Beresford hit nine fours and six sixes in his 90.

Phill Llewellyn (36) and captain Ollie Davies (33) kept up momentum as they also cracked boundaries, and the latter would have been more than satisfied with his team’s total.

But incredibly, Kilgetty then chased it down inside 40 overs as openers Kurtis Marsh and Hardy put on 189.

Hardy hit 18 boundaries in all, six of them maximums, before holing out to Ollie Davies off Callum Jenkins.

That bought in Christian Phillips who rapped four fours and a six in a quickfire 30 before also being caught, by Matthew Kiff off Davies - but Marsh stayed firm.

The youngster would go on to make 113 not out, stroking 18 fours after an early six  - and Toby Poole joined him in making a mess of the Llangwm bowling figures.

Poole hit three sixes and three fours to reach 37 not out with the scores tied - and duly won the game in style with a six of Matthew Kiff to round off an amazing chase.
