Carew are through to the last 16 of the Village Cup, after a nerve-jangling one wicket win away to Feniton with two balls of the match remaining. The Pembrokeshire villagers made the long journey to Feniton, about 10 miles from Exeter, on Sunday. They received a terrific welcome, enjoyed great hospitality and played an exciting game of cricket as the teams were evenly matched. Feniton started strongly, with Brian Cann and Mike Kingdom adding 60 for the first wicket. Cann was caught by wicket-keeper Aled Grifiths off skipper Rob Scourfield for 27 and Kingdom scored 33 before being bowled by John Canton. Batting at number three, Andrew Pullin attacked the bowling at every opportunity in his knock of 32, but he also fell to spinner John Canton when he was caught by Brian Hall. From that point, Carew got amongst the Feniton batsmen as Canton's inspired spell took out the middle order and changed the complexion of the game so that Feniton were bowled out for 181. He ended with 5 for 31 from nine overs. Steve Ive took 2 for 33 and there was a wicket each for Simon Wood, Rob Scourfield in a controlled stint and Kerry Waters. Carew were in trouble at 53 for 4, but opener Brian Hall held the innings together with a class knock of 57, including five 4s, and put on 60 invaluable runs for the fifth wicket with Phil Jones, who scored 30 with a six and three 4s. Carew's tail was longer than usual, but the players did the business. Aled Griffiths, batting at number eight, finished with 29 not out, Matthew Phillips at nine shook off the effects of a leg injury to reach 17. He put on 30 for the eighth wicket with Aled Griffiths and John Canton finished with six not out. Carew had needed five to win off the last over. Canton scored a single from the first ball and Griffiths played a straight drive for one from the next. Canton kept the third ball out and a dot was added to the scorebook in increasing tension. Three runs were now required from just three deliveries. John Canton edged the fourth ball on to his pads, Aled Griifiths ran, and an attempted run out led to four overthrows and jubilation in the Carew camp as the total reached 184 for 9 to give the visitors victory. The Carew players and around 20 supporters mobbed Griffiths and Canton for their heroics. Their reward is an even longer trip to Paul, which is near Penzance, next Sunday. Thanks to the generosity of local businesses who have subsidised the air fare, reducing the burden on the Carew club and players, the squad will fly from Withybush on Sunday morning. The match will start at the earlier time of 1.30 pm to allow the Carew team to fly back on Sunday evening.
