Whitland (205 for 7) lost to Haverfordwest (205 for 7)

Haverfordwest were delighted to get back to winning ways as they claimed the scalp of Whitland.

The Town got off to a good start with the ball and then batted sensibly throughout their innings before Phil Kirkby and Adam James saw them home with two overs left in an unbroken stand of 52.

Whitland started really well via Ed John and Dai Lee, who put on 108 for the first wicket and both scored 54 runs. John was the first to go, caught by Dai Davies off Clive Tucker with eight fours and a six to his name, while Lee was stumped by Huw Scriven off Phil Kirkby having struck seven boundaries.

Paul Davies looked in good nick until he was run out for 28, while Kevin Pearce (20) and Matthew Davies (15 not out) also made minor contributions to their solid score of 205 for 7 against the bowling of Kirkby (3 for 50), Clive Tucker (2 for 35) and Adam James (1 for 38).

Huw Scriven (11) Karl Rhead (27), Ben Field (11), and Dai Davies (30) all contributed for Whitland, but The Town were only 83 for 3 in the 26th over before Dan Field (38, including five fours and two sixes) provided the necessary stimulus at a vital time.

Dan James (3 for 28), Mark Lee (1 for 57), Paul Webb (1 for 49) and Matthew Davies (1 for 40) all claimed wickets for the Whitland cause, but Kirkby rasped five fours and a six in his 37 not out and Adam James provided the perfect foil with three fours and a six in his undefeated 24 to send The Town home with 28 points.

Umpires: John Williams and Dai Morris.
