Cresselly (215 for 2) beat Haverfordwest (211 for 5).

A majestic undefeated century by Simon Cole helped Cresselly win the Jubilee Cup for the first time since 1992.

In a high-scoring opener to the local cricket scene, where the current Harrison-Allen Bowl holders comfortably beat the league champions.

Haverfordwest total-led 211 for 5 in their allotted 45 overs as Danny Potter (21) and Richard James put on 38 for the first wicket before Potter and Dai Davies fell in quick succession.

Karl Rhead and Steve Phillips, the experienced backbone of the Town batting line-up, also failed to make their hoped-for impact and it was left to James (six fours in a sensible 62) and Nigel Delaney (making his maiden half-century for the club's first team with a powerful 59 not out that contained two big sixes and six fours) to build a good score before Julian James also contributed an unbeaten 21 in an unbroken stand of 63 with Delaney.

Cresselly lost Julian Arthur cheaply but Andrew Harris was joined by Simon Cole in a 162 partnership, before Harris was dismissed for 62.

The absence of several key bowlers left Haverfordwest struggling to contain Cole as he struck 15 fours and four sixes in a match-winning innings that augers well for the season as Cresselly won with overs aplenty to spare.
