The race for the title looks like it is going to be a two way battle between defending champions Neyland and Lawrenny.

There were some outrageous scores in the match, Kurtis Marsh making 93 and bowling stats which included Ryan Morton taking 6-9, and David Dunfee and Dafydd Lewis taking 4-45 and 4-21 for Llechryd.
