Narberth's batsmen were in the runs again this weekend as Marc Hughes hit his second century of the season to help them to a score of 223-4 at Cresselly

The tall right hander struck and imperious 150 two weeks ago and finished with an unbeaten 135 to his name this time around. Ben Quartermaine was also in form with the bat striking an unbeaten 60 as the two of them put on 118 for the fifth wicket. In total, Hughes struck 10 fours and seven 6s, while Quartermaine hit five boundaries and three maximums in his stay at the crease.

It obviously wasn't a day for bowlers however as the home side eased past the total for their loss of four wickets after Matthew Morgan struck a maiden league century. The youngster from Fishguard very nearly didn't make it however as he was dropped on 99. He eventually finished with 112 not out. Damian Arthur was also in the runs with 40.

Runs were more difficult to come by at Whitland as the home side could only muster 163-10 against Haverfordwest after Adam James and Neil Morgan both took three wickets apiece. Only Dylan Blain with 40, Owain Evans with 37 and Adam Davies with 22 not out got to grips with the visiting attack.

In reply, Haverfordwest were made to sweat a little before they crossed the finishing line after James and Morgan put on 50 for the seventh wicket with scores of 34 not out and 31 not out respectively to secure a four wicket win. For Whitland, David Dunfee took 3-36.

Had Carew lost at home to Llangwm, they would have occupied bottom position in the league after Llanrhian beat St. Ishmaels yet they hung on by the skin of their teeth to secure a winning draw.

Batting first Robbie Hicks's men scored 168-5, with Hicks scoring 38 and Brian Hall an unbeaten 50, yet Llangwm finished just four runs short of victory closing on 165-8, with Steven Inward and Steve Mills both scoring in excess of 40. James Hinchcliffe was Carew's best bowler with 3-26.

Lawrenny were away at leaders Neyland and lost by 19 runs as Brad McDermott Jenkins's 84 proved to be in vain. The visitors were bowled out for 153 in reply to the home side's 172-6, with Rob Williams taking 3-37.

McDermott Jenkins scored seven 4s and six 6s in his innings, while the next highest scorer was Huw Griffiths and Steve Lewis with 17 apiece.

In Division Two, Whitland Seconds faced Saundersfoot away and the home side were in no mood to surrender their lead at the top of the division after racking up 229-9.

Paul Webb took 4-35 for the visitors and Raff Williams 2-50, yet the home team's batsmen, led by Paul Mansbridge's 96 took control.

In reply, the visitors were bundled out for 70 as Danny Caine took 4-26 and Dai Davies 3-20 to go alongside his innings of four.

Carew Seconds had a day to forget at Haverfordwest after being bowled out for 45. The home side passed it for the loss of one wicket.

Cresselly Seconds beat Burton with the home side batting first and scoring 158-7 with Huw Evans taking 3-37. Harry Thomas's fine form continued as he scored 34 yet Alex Bailey's 64 not out was the main reason for the win.

Pembroke travelled to Johnston and lost by two wickets after setting the home side 148 to win. Pembroke were indebted to Barry Evans's 82 and Rob Weston's 36 for their total, but none of the other batsmen could get going.

Lamphey won their first game of the season after overcoming Stackpole by 12 runs.

Batting first, the Stags reached 165 all out despite being 98 for 8 at one stage as Rupert Davies took 4-37, yet a partnership of 53 for the ninth wicket between Stephen Vale (40) and Haydn Cole's 45 helped them to the total.

Stackpole found the going tough against Vale (2-40) and Neil Powling (1-11 off 12) and crept towards the total, yet despite Rob Mathias with 38 and Roger Lewis's 36, few of the other batsmen stuck around.

Narberth Seconds hung on for a draw at home to Pembroke Dock after the visitors scored 181-8 as Andrew Williams took 5-52. Luke Murray hit 57 for the Dock and Craig Butland 36 not out, while James White was unbeaten on 23

In reply, the home side finished on 118-9 as Mike Johns scored 38 not out, with Nick Daley taking 3-24.

Saundersfoot Seconds won at Herbrandston after setting the home side 123 to win. The Seasiders were 122-9 after 40 overs, with Simon Stanford scoring 28, yet Sam Franking, David Parcell and Kevin Sykes all took three wickets to dismiss the home team for 70.

The Division Four game between Kilgetty and St. Clears was called off after St. Clears failed to raise a side, while in Division Five, Narberth Thirds beat St. Ishmaels Seconds after bowling them out for 53 in reply to their 119 all out.

Pembroke Dock Seconds lost to Haverfordwest Fourths being bowled out for 76 at home and taking just five wickets in the reply, while Pembroke Seconds also lost after losing by one run to Herbrandston Seconds after being bowled out for 91 in reply to the visitors' 92 all out.

Sam Davies took 3-30 for the home team and Nigel Phillips 2-3, yet only Don Patel with 39 not out could get to grips with the visiting attack.

Hundleton's march for promotion continues with their eighth win of the season after they bowled Llanrhian out for 107 in reply to their 167-7. The home side were indebted to Scott Richards's 47 for their runs, while Paul Fox took 4-14 in the reply.
