Crymych's chances of making it past round one of the Alec Colley Cup were minimal at best given they were drawn against Cresselly, a team that plays four divisions above them in the Pembrokeshire League, yet they didn't even get to play the game to test themselves against one of the favourites for the competition.

Rain forced a postponement for the first scheduled date and on the second, the Mountain Men failed to raise a side for the re-arranged fixture, meaning they had to forfeit the match.

It remains to be seen whether the club's second team will be able to compete in the competition next year as cup rules usually dictate that if a team can't raise a side, they automatically get banned from the competition for the next season.

This would be a shame for the club as, although their seconds play in Division Six, the signs are there for the team to progress up the divisions in years to come and playing against better opponents could only be good for their players.

In other matches in the first round, Lawrenny defeated Neyland after they successfully chased down a target of 69. They did this for the loss of two wickets as Barry Phillips scored 25 and Steve Campbell 19 not out in an opening stand of 53. Earlier, Richard Prout took 3-22 for Lawrenny, with Steve Rees and Willie Morris taking a brace apiece.

Last year's finalists Fishguard had an easy passage into round two after they beat Lamphey away from home.

The visitors bowled out the home team for just 39 as Scott Delaney took 4-10 and Gary Delaney 3-10. They passed the total for the loss of five wickets as Haydn Cole took 4-5.

Saundersfoot could only manage 64 in their overs against Johnston, who eased to the target for the loss of one wicket in 12 overs as Chris Goodridge hit 27 and Steve Price 14 not out.

There were mitigating reasons for Saunderfoot's paltry score as they only had nine players following an earlier postponement. Roger Stanford hit a belligerent 26 not out in the Seasiders' total after Nathan James and Jack Mills kept them in check with seven wickets between them.

St. Ishmaels scored a formidable 174-4 against Herbrandston, with John Pawlett hitting 66 and Paul Palmer 47. Herbie limped to 115-7 in reply.

Llangwm easily accounted for Llanrhian, who batted first and were restricted to 99 in their innings. The home side lost just one wicket in reaching the total as they ended on 100-1.

Meanwhile, Stackpole won't have fond memories of their time in this year's competition as they were bundled out for 18 against Haverfordwest, who had no difficulty in passing the total to make it through to the next round.
