Umpires: Rob Cousins & Mervyn John
Scorers: Des Brace
Haverfordwest took the honours in what is traditionally a hard-fought contest in second-team games involving themselves and Cresselly, with Dan Cole back from university to score 75 and take The Town to a six-wicket success.Home skipper Richard Harris brought back memories of his glory days with Burton and Cresselly as he led his team’s tally of 185 for 8 with a terrific boundary-sprinkled innings of 93 and a deserved century seemed on the cards until he was bowled by Tom Pearse, who also shifted John Arthur (19) in his 2 for 28 haul alongside Ashley James (1 for 20), James White (2 for 37) and Lewis Rhead (1 for 22) – with a third old-timer in Phil James also chipping in with a brisk 16.
But then Cole took his team to what looked a sizeable challenge before Mark Stobbs (33 not out), Sean Williams (23) and Dan Field (26 not out) despite Cresselly skipper Harris completing a god individual performance with a 2 for 30 haul.

Hook celebrate first win in style
Whitland 2nds (165 all out) lost to Hook (229 for 5) by 64 runs
Umpire: Robert Ridge
Scorer: Rob Benjamin (Whitland)
Hook gained their first win of the season and did it in some style with maximum bonus points as they totalled a huge 229 for 5 wickets and then bowled out Whitland to narrow the gap between them and the clubs above them in the table.Leading the way in the batting stakes were talented young batsmen Noah Davies (87), Jake Wicks (51) and Jacob Lay (40) as the successful Whitland bowlers were Matthew Lewis (3 for 59), Martin Thomas (1 for 32) and Wayne Jones (1 for 23).
Thomas then led the Whitland response with top score of 75 alongside Nathan Evans (46) but no-one else could muster double figures against useful bowling by Brennan Martin (4 for 47), Aled Phelps (2 for 20) and his father Jamie (2 for 28) and Hook were worthy winners as a result.
Noah Davies - superb undefeated 87 for Hook

But then George Williams (4 for 20) and Johnnie Scale (5 for 17) ripped through some fragile Stackpole batting to boost Burton’s points total and move them into fourth place in the section table.
