CAREW’S Shaun Whitfield was the man of the hour as Carew scrapped through to cause the upset of the weekend beating last year’s runners up Lawrenny by just six runs.
It was another ‘rippa’ of a weekend in the Pembroke County Cricket League which saw Carew put into bat at home to Lawrenny.
Whitfield was the star of Carew’s innings making 67 while Luke and Iori Hicks supported the main man with 41, Luke making 22 and Iori 19.
Lawrenny had a host pf performers in the bowling department with Finlay Lewis, Steve Lewis and Harry Thomas all taking two wickets each.
It was Mr Lawrenny Kyle Marsh who put up the biggest fight against the home side taking two wickets for just 4 runs then powering to 77 when Lawrenny came to bat.
Ryan Morton, 22, and Troy Perslowe, 20, tried to make up the deficit but it wasn’t enough and Carew held on for what could prove to be a vital win in the season.
