DIVISION ONE

Division One leaders Cresselly maintained their top of the table spot with a comfortable seven-wicket win at home to Pembroke who were dismissed for 126. All-rounder Paul White top scored for the visitors with 46, supported by skipper Barry Evans with a patient innings of 22. For Cresselly, Lyn Richards took 4 for 39 and Adam Chandler 3 for 17.

Cresselly had little difficulty in reaching a total of 127 for 3, with the left-hander Simon Cole 48 not out, including seven 4s and a six, supported by Lyn Richards with 24 not out. Earlier, the Arthur brothers, Julian and Damian, had brief knocks at 20 and 16, respectively, with most of Julian's runs coming in boundaries.

Pembroke skipper Gwyn Griffiths took 2 for 29.

Arch rivals Carew are snapping at Cresselly's heels following a surprising 26-run win at home to Haverfordwest despite struggling to reach a total of 109 for 9.

Opener Nick Scourfield held the Carew innings together with 35 before being caught by Andrew Phillips off the bowling of Adrian Griffiths, but the lower order applied themselves as Carew recovered from 58 for 6 to reach 109 for 9. Robert Scourfield had an important knock of 22, with Aled Davies and skipper Darren Thomas also getting into double figures.

For Haverfordwest, Adrian Griffiths took 3 for 23, Phillip Kirkby 3 for 32 and Clive Tucker 2 for 18.

When opener Karl Rhead was at the crease, Haverfordwest looked in control, especially during his third wicket partnership with David Davies. However, Davies was dismissed with the total on 60 and Rhead fell two runs later when he was bowled by Darren Thomas for 33.

From that moment Carew were in control, although when Mathew Johns was joined by Adrian Griffiths with the total on 78 for 8, the match was by no means over.

Johns played on from an inside edge attempting an off-drive off Robert Scourfield and when Adrian Griffiths was well caught by Nick Scourfield's diving catch at backward point off the bowling of Simon Wood, it was all over, with Haverfordwest dismissed for 83.

Darren Thomas had an excellent spell of 5 for 30, Simon Wood chipped in with 3 for 11 and there were two wickets for Robert Scourfield.

The result was a mixture of resilience, commitment and team spirit by the Carew team and the fielding was quite outstanding.

Narberth have moved into third place following their six-wicket win at home to Hook after bowling out the visitors for 121.

Skipper Gary Martin top scored for Hook with 29, supported by Jamie Phelps with 25 and Mathew Rowlands with 20.

Wayne Howells followed up his bowling to score 49 as Narberth replied with 122 for 4, supported by Michael Scale with 21 not out and Marc Hughes with 15.

Hook skipper Gary Martin was the pick of the bowlers and ended with figures of 3 for 22.

Lawrenny won by eight wickets at Whitland after dismissing the home team for 112. Rhidian Harries top scored with 26, supported by David Lee with 18 and Dylan Blain with 15.

Lawrenny skipper Robert Williams made the early breakthrough and ended the innings in his second spell to finish with 4 for 20. Spinner Ian Jenkins bowled accurately and took 3 for 15, while two wickets fell to opening bowler Stephen Rees.

A first wicket partnership of 74 formed the basis of the Lawrenny victory bid, with Chris Vincent scoring 41 and his opening partner Adrian Harries being undefeated on 47 as Lawrenny reached 114 for 2.

Meyrick Rowlands and Rhidian Harries were the Whitland wicket-takers.

In an exciting match at St. Ishmaels, Tish won by one wicket after holding visiting Llangwm to a total of 141 for 9. George Thomas top scored with 37, supported by Mark Davies with 22 and Martin Inward with 17.

Kristan Bennett hit the winning four in an innings of 15 not out, supported by Andrew Pawlett in a tense nail-biting finish.

Llangwm skipper Darren Brick did his best to put his side on top with a superb spell of bowling to finish with 6 for 31.

Phillip Stevens top scored with 22, but there was no stopping Waters as he took 9 for 9 in 9.2 overs, with seven of his victims being clean bowled.

Manorbier have had a disappointing start to their Division Three campaign and the misery was compounded on Saturday when Fishguard won by 10 wickets after dismissing Manorbier for 72.

The match should have been played at Fishguard, but was switched to Manorbier because the Fishguard ground was too wet.
