Llangwm (112 all out) lost to Llanrhian (166 for 7)

Umpires: Geordie Fraser and Walter Dash Scorer: Louise Bowen (Llangwm)

Llanrhian secured their first win of the season with a great display at Pill Parks. The visitors overcame a Llangwm side which battled hard and almost achieved a draw but lost their last wicket with nine balls to go.

Chris Couzens rounded off a good display for Llanrhian with the final wicket. Couzens top-scored with 47 as Llanrhian survived a shaky start. Chris Inward claimed three wickets, ably supported by Geraint Morris, who had 35 for the second match in succession.

Darren Brick bowled well for Llangwm without any luck and Llanrhian also had little cameos from Andrew Leese (19) and Ben D Jones (21 not out).

Also worthy of mention for Llangwm was the fact that Stephen Inward secured his first wicket at senior level and Richard Brock showed the spirit in the team when he damaged a shoulder diving to stop a ball but still managed to bowl a few overs nonetheless.

Llangwm also started well with the bat as JoJo Francis (26) and Chris Inward (22) shared an opening stand of 52 but Matthew Bennett (3 for 27), Tony Kitchell (2 for 11) and off-spinner Gareth Davies (3 for 8 in 12 overs) caused problems. Only Stephen Inward managed double figures as Llanrhian celebrated their first win of the campaign.
