Llangwm (255 for 5) beat Kilgetty (162 all out) by 93 runs

A stand of 106 between brothers Joseph and Matthew Kiff helped Llangwm amass a huge total against Kilgetty at Pill Parks and then Ollie Davies marked his return to action after a long spell out injured with four wickets to help the home side to a 93-run success.

Will Beresford (36) and Andrew Harries (50) got Llangwm off to a solid start before Joseph Kiff unleashed ten fours and four sixes in his top score of 87 before he was bowled by Toby Poole, whilst big brother Matthew contributed a speedy 58 not out that included four fours and two sixes as Ross Hardy (2 for 37), Jack Parkinson (1 for 24) and Kyle Marsh (1 for 47) were the other Kilgetty wicket-takers.

Kurtis Marsh (37) and Ross hardy (four fours and four sixes in his 47) were again the best Kilgetty batters and there were cameos from Parkinson (13), Johnny Harries (20), Geoff Marsh (11) and skipper Ian Poole (15 not out).

But Ollie Davies had willing support from Phil Llewellyn (1 for 31), Matthew Kiff (2 for 35), Harries (1 for 33) and Toby Asson (2 for 18) to help Llangwm to a maximum-point haul as their reward.

Carew 2nds (74 all out) lost to Burton (150 all out) by 76 runs

An excellent all-round performance by Luke Hayman helped Burton gain victory by 76 runs at Carew Seconds, who managed to hold on to a decreased lead at the top of the table nonetheless.

Hayman led the Burton batting before tea with an excellent 53 runs and then took the ball when Carew tried to chase a target of 151 to win but were shot out for only 74 as he grabbed 5 for 37.

Will Bowen (18), Richard Jones (17) and Iestyn Evans (17) were the other main contributors to the Burton tally as Matthew ‘Hammer’ Phillips (3 for 27) and Dan Edwards (4 for 37) were the main bowlers for Carew.

Only Joel Read (18) and Lewys Hicks (17) ever stayed long in the Carew reply as Hayman was joined by Johnny Scale (3 for 11) and James Davies (2 for 4) in taking Burton to victory.

Umpires: Rob Couzens & Neil Croucher.

Pembroke (216 for 5) drew with Whitland 2nds (241 for 5)

There were runs galore at Treleet as visitors Whitland Seconds scored a huge 241 for 5 before Pembroke bravely gave chase but had to settle for the draw on 216 for 5.

Paul Oeppen (31), Geraint Jones (35), Wayne Jones (62 before he was run out) and Martin Thomas (71 not out) took Whitland to their excellent total despite the efforts of Sam Davies (2 for 37), Billy Wood (1 for 60) and Jonathan Rogers (1 for 48).

‘Mr Reliable’ Barry Evans rapped ten boundaries in his 49 to get Pembroke off to a good start, assisted by Billy Wood (48) before the currently-irrepressible Phil Hay struck a boundary-sprinkled 63 not out to take Pembroke past the 200 mark.

But they perhaps missed iconic captain Paul White’s batting because useful bowling by Geraint Jones (3 for 32), Ben Harvey (1 for 39) and Stuart Harries (1 for 38) saw them having to settle for the thin end of the draw but remain third in the table.

Umpire: Tony Scourfield.

Haverfordwest 2nds (200 for 8) drew with Hook (175 for 9)

Haverfordwest had to settle for the bulk of the draw points after Hook managed to hold on by just one wicket on The Racecourse to fend off The Town’s second string in search of victory, but the visitors remain rooted to the foot of the table.

Archie Thomas (25) and Tom Pearse (18) batted well whilst Nigel Morgan (43) and Mark Stobbs (29) shared a stand of 65 that helped take the home side to 200 for 8, despite the bowling efforts of Brennan Martin (1 for 38), Noah Davies (3 for 35), Callum James (1 for 14), Aled Phelps (2 for 24) and Jamie Phelps (1 for 17).

Noah Davies confirmed his all-round potential with Hook’s top score of 60 and had support from Jamie Phelps (31) and Bradley Flood (14) but no-one else was able to stay long as Clive Tucker used his wealth of experience in a haul of 6 for 34 from his tantalising slow stuff, supported by Sean Williams (1 for 20) and Nigel Morgan (2 for 34).

Scorer: Kelly Williams (Haverfordwest).

Cresselly 2nds (238 for 4) beat Stackpole (240 for 6) by 4 wickets

Cresselly's veteran run-gatherer Neal Williams showed why he is a Welsh player at over 50s level with a commanding innings of 141 not out against Stackpole but he still ended up on the losing side as big knocks by Joshua Davies, John Williams and especially another old-timer in John Hughes took the visitors to victory where 478 runs were scored for the loss of only ten wickets!

The game was also perhaps memorable for the fact that local MP Simon Hart returned to his old stamping ground to play for Cresselly and claimed a wicket!

Neale Williams had a massive 25 fours and a six as he batted throughout the Cresselly innings, with another Welsh ‘old hand’ Richard Harris (39) and Alan Hart (21) were the other main batsmen against Lewys Gibby (2 for 28), Marcus Adie (1 for 40) and Richard Mackay (1 for 51).

It seemed a difficult total to beat but Stackpole had some splendid batting by John Williams 56, including four fours and four big sixes) and Joshua Davies (50) whilst Jonathan Hughes showed he still has class aplenty with 11 fours and five sixes before falling just short of a deserved century on 92.

Umpires: Huw Davies & Simon Richards.
