Neyland 109-5
Carew 95-6
As semi-finals go, this was not a good one. The inclement weather didn't help rendering the pitch slow and low and as all cricket players and supporters know, this equates to the ball not coming on to the bat.
Add in the fact it was played at Haverfordwest where the big boundaries mean a dearth of fours and sixes and it is a recipe for a low scoring game.
That's not to say that low scoring matches can't be exciting, they can be, providing the team batting second comes close to the target, but this time, Carew were wide of the mark.
Neyland took guard first and struggled to reach 109-5. It could have been less had Phil Davies not thwacked a couple of large sixes in the final few overs, together with Andrew Miller's 45 not out, a total that included just two fours in a six-wicket partnership of 47.
Carew bowled well, led by Tim Hicks, who took 2-18, while there was a wicket apiece for Rhys Davies, Simon Wood and Ceri Brace.
Carew started brightly in reply, with Ian Sefton hitting three boundaries in his 25, but when he was bowled by Davies, the wheels came off the truck.
Brian Hall managed 12, while Wood struck 26, otherwise no-one else got going and when he finally departed after being stumped, the writing was on the wall.
Neyland bowled well. Nothing exceptional, just tight accurate bowling backed up by enthusiastic fielding. As the overs ticked by, the run rate increased and, despite Rhys Davies and Phil Jones' attempt to up the run rate, it all became too much and the underdogs went through as Miller completed a great game for him by taking 4-20.
