Carew skipper Rob Scourfield believes his team produced their most complete performance of the season to win the Duggie Morris Cup by a huge margin of 119 runs. It was the first time that Lawrenny and Carew had met in a final and Scourfield, although delighted by the result, had compassion for the heavy nature of their defeat. "Obviously I'm delighted we won," he said."It was our best all-round performance of the season, but I have sympathy for Lawrenny. We were on the end of a heavy defeat in last year's Harrison-Allen final and it's difficult to take." Carew's woes on that day were compounded by the fact that they lost to their fiercest rivals Cresselly and of course the fact that they would have to go another year without any silverware to show for being one of the most complete teams in the county. That wait is over now as they guaranteed their first trophy for three years with an excellent all-round performance that completely blew Lawrenny away. Before the start of play, Lawrenny skipper Steve Lewis would have been confident of a win for his team having dispersed of Haverfordwest and Cresselly in previous rounds of the competition. His hopes would have been lifted early on as Carew won the toss, elected to bat and lost their first wicket with the score on 18 as Nick Scourfield was run out for nine. This brought Simon Wood to the crease, and together with Robert Hicks, the second wicket pairing took the score on to 69 before Wood was dismissed by Steve Lewis by the aid of a James Buckle catch for 29, an innings that included four sweet boundaries. Hicks continued on his way, showing the class and form which has brought him many international honours over years as he made an assured, unbeaten half century, including a six and four fours. He was well supported throughout the innings by Tim Hicks with 11, Phil Jones with 10 and Brian Hall with 12 not out in a total of 143-5. For Lawrenny, only Ian Jenkins with 2-35 caused any real problems. Carew's first innings total may have been challenging, but it was still well within Lawrenny's grasp, especially considering the strength and depth of their batting. They needed a good start, but it didn't materialise as Andrew Cole was bowled by Tim Hicks for 10 and Simon Cole was sent packing for a duck by Wayne Cannon. At 14 for 2, there were real problems in their camp. Skipper Steve Lewis restored some pride and added some impetus with a strong innings of 32, which included four fours and a six, while James Buckle scored a bright and breezy 25. The problem for Lawrenny was they kept losing wickets at key times; especially in the middle as Simon Wood took 4-18 and Rob Scourfield 3-12. They were dismissed for 103, 40 runs behind. The sizeable lead gave Carew a licence to thrill in the second innings and they didn't disappoint. Robert Hicks and Nick Scourfield put on 105 for the first wicket with the latter first to go having blasted a six and six fours in his entertaining knock of 62. Hicks went soon after for 34. Wood entered the fray to hit a brief 20 while it was left to Ian Sefton (17 not out) and Tim Hicks (18 not out) to steer the Carew ship to a grand total of 165-3. This left Lawrenny 206 to win, a tall order for any team, let alone a side which had underperformed in their first innings. Simon Cole started well for them, hitting one glorious sweep for six over square leg. Glorious that was for every spectator save for the poor chap whose rear window it smashed! Sadly for him, none of the other batsmen, bar Hugh Griffiths and Christian Phillips, could manage double figures as Tim Hicks, Cannon and Rob Scourfield all took a brace of wickets, while Simon Wood completed his man of the match display with 1-16 as Lawrenny were dismissed for 86, still 119 runs short.
