Cresselly maintained their lead at the top of Pembrokeshire League Division One table with a comprehensive victory over Burton at Oatfield Park.

This decisive win keeps them six points ahead of close rivals Carew.

Burton's innings proved to be a modest affair, with only Luke Hayman showing any significant resistance. His brother Toby and Dan Llewellyn offered brief support, but Cresselly's bowlers were in formidable form.

Simon Cole mesmerized with his slow deliveries, bagging four wickets.

Christian Phillips, a wily partner, combined effectively with the pace trio of Charlie Arthur, Ollie Arthur, and skipper Tom Arthur, relentlessly pressuring the home side.

In response, Cresselly made light work of the target.

Tom Murphy played a steadying hand early on, but it was Charlie Arthur who truly unleashed, dominating the Burton attack with a powerful, unbeaten 65.

Kyle Quartermaine provided solid support to see Cresselly comfortably across the finish line, ensuring they remain firmly at the summit.

Meanwhile, Carew's pursuit of silverware continued with a hard-fought win against Whitland, though not without a few anxious moments.

They ultimately chased down Whitland's middling total, but only after losing seven wickets in the process.

Whitland's innings was built primarily on the contributions of Kevin Pearce and Ed John, with 24 runs coming from Shaun Whitfield.

Noah Davies, and James Hinchliffe, alongside the economical Rhys Davies, were instrumental in restricting Whitland's scoring opportunities.

Carew's chase proved to be a trickier proposition.

However, the experienced Brian Hall steadied the innings with a top-scoring performance.

The decisive blow came from James Hinchliffe, who unleashed a blistering 28 not out from just 17 balls, including five boundaries, with Ian Sefton providing the finishing touches.

Despite good bowling from Wayne Howells and Gopal Ramasamy for Whitland, 29 extras ultimately helped usher Carew to victory, keeping their title hopes alive.

Saundersfoot secured a comfortable victory over Haverfordwest, despite a shaky start against Town bowlers Clive Tucker and Will Phillips.

Nick Cope stabilized the innings, with valuable contributions from Louie Treadaway Williams, Scott Helmich and unbeaten skipper Yannic Parker, helping the Seasiders post a strong total.

Saundersfoot's bowling attack, led by Tom Mansbridge and Nick Cope, decimated Haverfordwest, taking eight wickets for just 42 runs.

Only Shan Perreira offered any resistance as The Town were dismissed in 22.2 overs.

Herbrandston secured a dominant 90-run victory over reigning champions Neyland.

Young talents Charlie Malloy and Morgan Britton, alongside Jack Nicholas (50 runs), were key for Herbrandston's strong batting.

Despite three wickets each from Jack John and Sean Hannon, Neyland struggled against Herbrandston's bowlers Nathan Banner, Dean John, and Harry Nicholas.
