Pembroke County Cricket Club Division One: Neyland (94 all out) lost to Lawrenny (120 all out) by 26 runs

THE shock result of the day on Saturday undoubtedly came at Neyland - where the leaders were undone by a combination of brilliant Lawrenny bowling from Brad McDermott-Jenkins and Rob Williams, and some sharp keeping from James Phillips.

And yet there was little sign of what was to come when the visitors were shot out for 120 in 43 overs.

And much of that total was down to the middle order pairing of Patrick Elliot and skipper Joe Kidney - with Elliot top scoring with 31 (four fours) and the captain hitting a rapid 26 which included five boundaries, one of them a maximum.

No 9 Ryan Morton also hit a useful 19 (two fours and a six) but the Neyland bowling and fielding was again tight, with Henry Durrant (3-34), Andrew Miller (3-32) , Geraint Rees (2-16) and Gary Lloyd (2-17) all striking, with Nathan Banner going at less than two an over in his stint.

It was Williams who then gave the visitors early hope though, having Nick Koomen caught behind by Phillips - but still Neyland moved to 39-1 before collapsing to 51-5.

That became 94-9 as McDermott-Jenkins racked up 5-19 and ‘Worm’ Williams 4-40, with only opener Paul Murray (22), Gregg Miller (18) and brother Andrew (21) ever threatening to hang around.

Keeper Phillips also claimed five catches - and the final paring of Lloyd and Jake Booth were left needing 27 for victory.

But they didn’t get any of them as a mix up saw Lloyd ran our t from the final ball of the 33rd over - sparking big celebrations from the visiting players.
