Junior Leagues: Report by Martin Jones,

Llechryd Under 11's 274-7 beat Haverfordwest 257-6

Monday evening saw Llechryd under 11s play host to the travelling Haverfordwest team.

Haverfordwest went into bat first with the opening pair of Robbie Sterling and Harri Atyeo doing well against the quick bowling of Flo Cartwright and accuracy of Alex James, with a boundary for each and some good running between the wickets.

Oscar Patrick, who was keeping wicket for Llechryd for the first time, showed great skill behind the stumps.

Some sharp fielding from Llechryds’, Charlie Pardoe was needed to keep the runs down.

Imogen Hicks and Osian Mills were next at the crease, Mills launching a massive 6 over square leg. Dunkeld held her composure and followed up with a great wicket.

The final pairing of Ed Raymond and Deri Field knew they needed to add vital runs. Field showed bravery returning to bat after a nasty knock.

Cerith Gill and Callum Pardoe bowled in tandem to do their best to keep the score down. Haverfordwest finished their innings on a respectable 257.

Llechryd decided to open the batting with Cerith and Oscar.

Haverfordwest showed their intent, taking 2 wickets in the first 3 ball with one being a run out after some sharp fielding. Cerith responded with a classy cover drive for 4.

Next in was Alex and Callum. There was no end to the action with wickets falling and the ball sailing over the boundary.

The duo of Charlie and Dewi were next in, with quick running and boundaries momentarily interrupted with a stunning catch in the deep from Haverfordwests Harri Atyeo.

It was still all to play for when Flo and Isobel came to bat as the final pairing. Some classic cricket shots by the batsmen and cracking fielding highlighted the skills on display from both sides.

The Llechryd innings came to a close on 274.
