Pembroke County Cricket Club Division One: Lawrenny (307 for 7) beat Llangwm (204 all out)

It’s shaping up to be an enticing Harrison Allen Bowl final next Saturday after Brad McDermott-Jenkins inspired Lawrenny to a big win over Llanwgm.

He stood out with bat and ball as Joe Kidney’s men prepared for their clash with Cresselly in perfect style with a big 103-run win.

Batting first, opener Harry Thomas laid the platform with 52 (eight fours), but it was McDermott-Jenkins who came in at No 5 and really motored the rate, hitting 13 fours and three sixes in his knock of 90.

Skipper Kidney made 70 not out, himself cracking six fours and four sixes, and he shared an unbeaten eighth wicket stand of 66 with Rob Williams (26 not out), to help his side past the 300 mark.

For Llangwm, wickets fell to Matthew Kiff (2 for 63), Noah Davies (3 for 55), Luke Brock (1 for 35), while Phil Llewellyn took 1-88 in an eventful 12 overs.

The away reply the centered around opener Will Beresford, he set about with every intention of chasing down the total with a rapid 65 – 54 of the runs coming in boundaries as he hammered 12 fours and a six.

Noah Davies (19), Joseph Kiff (29) and Richard Brock (27) also got starts but it was McDermott-Jenkins who kept the home side in control as he returned figures of 6 for 38, while Ryan Morton (3 for 29) and Thomas (1 for 54) helped complete the job as Llangwm fell to 204 all out in 37 overs.
