Cricket: Bottom of table Pembroke Dock beat Carew in upset of the weekend

Carew won the toss and put the Dock into bat, the visitors making a very reachable 135 all out. But when the Rooks came to the crease they collapsed, making just 108 runs.

Wood didn’t just stand firm with the bat, making a big-hitting 71, he also tore through Carew’s batting order, taking four wickets for 20, on a weekend that very much favoured the bowlers across the county.

Wood was supported by Scott Griffiths, who made 31, and Iwan McDonald who took 3 for 27.

For Carew the defeat will taste particularly bitter for James Hinchcliffe, who took a mesmerising four for 16.

Carew were sitting third in division one, just four points off top of the table Neyland. The surprise defeat sees the Rooks drop to fourth and lose ground, now 16 points behind the defending champions.

For Pembroke Dock they remain rooted to the bottom of the table, but are now just one point behind Saundersfoot.

The other outstanding contribution came from Neyland’s Brad Jenkins (pictured) who made 58 for the champions, while Lawrenny continue to have a season going from bad to worse suffering another defeat, this time an 88 run loss to St Ishmaels, leaving last year’s runners-up third from bottom.
