Pembrokeshire County Cricket, Division Two: Neyland (135 for 2) beat Llanrhian (133 all out) Neyland took a giant step towards promotion as they beat a Llanrhian side whose form has plummeted of late after they had also seemed likely to put in a strong challenge for a place in the top echelon.

Llanrhian batted first but plunged from 95 for two to 135 all out as they found pace man Greg Miller and off-spinner Phil Davies in excellent form alongside some fine catching in the deep by the home fielders - and then Paul Murray and skipper Andrew Miller steered Neyland to victory in only 25.2 overs.

Yet Llanrhian had shown no sign of their imminent demise as Gareth Davies (27) and Andrew Leese (15) took them to 36 without loss before left-hander Davies was out to Jay Dunsford. Leese followed at 55 as Greg Miller joined the fray.

Chris Couzens also looked in commanding form as he top scored with 55 (11 fours) but was superbly caught by keeper Scott Hannon, diving to his right and taking the ball one-handed - and other catches in the deep by the eager Neyland fielders left Greg Miller with excellent figures of five for 47 and Phil Davies with four for 14.

Greg Miller then joined Paul Murray in giving a solid batting start with a stand of 41 before Miller was caught near the boundary by Tim Stirling off Couzens with 19 to his name.

Big brother Andrew took his place with seven fours sprinkled through his 41 out of 73 shared with Murray. They took Neyland to within touching distance of a big win and Murray finished unbeaten on 60 (eight fours and a six) as Andrew Slark hit the winning boundary to give his side an eight-wicket win that earned them 29 points and almost certain promotion to division one.
