Carew (244 for 4) drew with Haverfordwest (188 for 8) Matches between Carew and Haverfordwest are always hard-fought and this one was no exception as Carew were asked to bat first and scored a massive 244 for 4 in their 45 overs before The Town responded with 188 for 8.

Carew’s talented young all rounder Rhys Davies certainly showed his batting capabilities in this match as he came in at No 5 and scored his maiden century, with seven fours and seven big sixes before he was out in the final over having reached 104 runs.

Asked to bat first, Carew were given a good start by Robert Hicks as he scored 37 of the first 41 runs before he was caught by Town keeper Huw Scriven having struck a six and four fours. Nick Scourfield contributed 27 runs and Simon Wood had 60 not out (eight fours) as he helped Davies through to a superb century from only 75 balls before Davies finally edged a Clive Tucker delivery into Scriven’s gloves in the final over. Josh Wilment (1 for 55), Avron Roulstone (2 for 49) and Clive Tucker (1 for 52) were the Town wicket-takers.

Haverfordwest lost Danny Potter for 17 and were looking a little shaky on 60 for 4 but had opener Karl Rhead looking likely to claim the second century of the match until he was run out for 91 having stuck 11 fours and a six. Dai Davies contributed 27 and Richard Scriven belted three big sixes in his speedy 23 as Ceri Brace (3 for 48), Simon Wood (1 for 30), Tim Hicks (1 for 48) and Rhys Davies (1 for 20) claimed wickets for Carew.

Skipper Phil Jones gave the final over of the Carew season to prolific run-maker Nick Scourfield and he took a return catch in a maiden over to dismiss Haverfordwest skipper Huw Scriven for nine runs – and Carew had to settle for second spot after leading the table for much of the season.
