Kilgetty retained the Tavernspite Garden Centre Alan Brown Cup with a 26 runs win over Camrose and Spittal in Sunday's final at Whitland Cricket Club. In the first innings of the 20 overs per side match, Kilgetty recovered from being 10-2 to reach 133-7. Talented 15-year-old left-hand opening batsman Liam Cullen top scored with a well-constructed innings of 52. The touch player found the boundary seven times and cleared it once and added 84 for the third wicket with his experienced skipper Ian Poole, who played the supporting role with 29. Robin Ellis took 3-31 and Phil Rees 3-34. Camrose and Spittal led by five runs after scoring 138 before being dismissed. Middle order batsman Martyn Tweedie held the innings together with his knock of 59, which included eight fours and one six, backed up by Jonathan Venables with 18. For Kilgetty, young teenager Jack Parkinson took 4-44 and all-rounder Ross Hardy 2-17. In the second innings, Ross Hardy soon wiped out memories of his second ball dismissal in the first innings and took centre stage with an attacking knock of 87 with four sixes and eight fours. Liam Cullen scored 26 in a first wicket partnership of 58 with Hardy, who farmed the bowling when wickets started falling at the other end. Hardy plays every shot in the book and he demonstrated his full array with some imperious strokes, as well as improvising. He went on to score 87, before being trapped by Phil Rees when his legs were in front of a straight one, as an attempted reverse sweep proved costly when he tried to up the tempo in the last five overs. Kilgetty reached 163-4 as Ian Poole with 18no and Anthony Bevan with 15no used their heads in the closing overs. Needing 159 to win, Camrose and Spittal were bowled out for 132. Martyn Tweedie again led the scoring with 22 and stylish opener Richard James went for 18 when Toby Poole hit his pads. Jack Parkinson was in the wickets again and was joined by experienced all-rounder Anthony Bevan as both bowlers took 4-37. Ross Hardy was nominated man-of-the-match and the umpires were Glyn Pawlett and Robert Ridge. Hazel Poole, of Kilgetty, scored and Huw Davies, of Whitland, operated the impressive electronic scoreboard.
