Hayman hits a ton as Stags stay rock bottom
Burton (215 for 2 declared) beat Lamphey (155 all out) by 60 runs
Scorer: Helen Hodges & Janice Webb
Toby Hayman’s undefeated ton helped Burton beat both Lamphey and the rain at Oatfield Park. Opener Hayman struck a classy 105 not out after being dropped before he had scored, and found a willing ally in John Venables (73) as the pair pushed the pace to set up a declaration on 215 for 2 in only 37.3 overs.
For the visitors, Peter McGilloway (1 for 49) and Connor Carroll (1 for 43) took a wicket each.
It was McGilloway who then led the Lamphey reply as he struck 52 (six fours), and further knocks from skipper Rob Mathias (25), Grant Cole (21), and David Blackwell (20) at least ensured The Stags passed the 150 mark.
But the bowling of Dan Llewellyn (3 for 10), Luke Hayman (3 for 38), and Morgan Scale (2 for 38) ensured the result was never in doubt, and The Stags stay bottom still awaiting their first win back in Division Two as Burton sit handily in fourth spot.
Phillips and Inward inspire Llangwm at Carew
Carew 2nds (160 all out) lost to Llangwm (164 for 2) by 8 wickets
Umpires: Chris Stapleton and Rob Bellerby
Llangwm stay second after the class of Steve Inward again came to the fore in their run chase at Carew.
Inward made 92 not out from just 70 balls, a knock that included 13 fours and five sixes, to guide his side to victory by eight wickets.
The Rooks were asked to bat first and lost opener Scott Richards (9) early, caught by Inward of Steve Mills.
But Haydn Shapcott (19) and Gareth Lewis (29) shared a stand of 52 before they fell to Ollie Davies and Mathew Kiff respectively, and then keeper Tom Scourfield (27) and most noticeably No 6 Ashley Smith (35) kept the score ticking.
But as the innings wore on wickets began to tumble, and the last five batsmen could only make 13 between them as Joe Phillips (3 for 14), Kiff (2 for 45), Ollie (2 for 50) and Noah Davies (1 for 27), and Mills (1 for 17) restricted the home side to 160 all out.
Kerry Waters then gave Carew hope as he clean bowled Jo Kiff (9), but Inward joined Will Beresford in a stand of 56, before the latter was also bowled by Waters (2 for 37) having struck two fours and a maximum in his 24.
Inward pressed on though, and was joined by Mills who made 23 not out (two fours) in getting the job done in 29 overs.
Herbie edge a tight battle with Hook
Herbrandston (160 all out) beat Hook (142 all out) by 18 runs
Dean John played a vital role with bat and ball as Herbrandston moved up to fifth in the table by beating Hook. John cracked 50 in his usual hard hitting way and then took 3 for 35 as the hosts prevailed by 18 runs.
Herbie were asked to bat and were 160 all out in 38 overs, with Charlie Malloy (27) and Leigh Marchant (28) joining John in making useful contributions while Matthew Holder (4 for 42) and Aled Phelps (3 for 32) did the damage for Hook with the ball.
Seth Willington (24), Lewis Miller (44) and Owen Phelps (24) all then set up a tense run chase but the visitors fell short, with veteran Kristan Bennett also bowling well alongside John as he took 3 for 28, including the vital last wicket, to seal a 19-point win.
Rogers on form as Pembroke push past Kilgetty
Kilgetty (135 all out) lost to Pembroke (137 for 4) by 6 wickets
Scorer: Rose Jenkins (Kilgetty).
Jonathan Rogers hit a classy 64 as Pembroke chased down Kilgetty’s total of 135.
The batting of the hosts was led by opener Toby Poole, despite him losing partner Tom Lewis (1) early after he was caught by Luke Butler off Rogers.
But Poole cracked 60 - 56 of which came in boundaries, and found support from Jack Parkinson who made a quick-fire 29 himself (five fours).
But it was Butler who again showed safe hands to get rid of Poole and give Jack Harries a wicket, and Sam Davies had Parkinson caught by namesake George and after that things stalled.
No 7 Christian Phillips did show resistance with 19 (three fours) but Rogers (3 for 55), Harries (2 for 22), Sam (2 for 17) and George Davies (2 for 18) and Kevin Jenkins (1 for 4) all finished with good figures.
Openers Paul White and Rogers then shared a stand of 98 in the reply, with the latter striking nine fours and two maximums in his 53 ball knock before holing out to Lewis off Anthony Bevan (1 for 11).
Poole then gave Kilgetty a glimmer of hope by trapping White LBW for 39 (six fours), as well as clean bowling both Butler (4) and Tom Kaijaks (10).
But Harries finished the job quickly with 16 not out off 12 balls (three fours) as Pembroke moved up to third.
Davies hits out after the Dock bowlers do the job
Pembroke Dock (106 for 2) beat Haverfordwest 2nds (105 for 9) by 8 wickets
Scorers: Lee Smith and Natalie Thomas.
It went to form at Bierspool as leaders Pembroke Dock made light work of Haverfordwest 2nds.
The Town elected to bat but struggled to 105 for 9 in the difficult conditions, never getting going after opener Sohail Siddiqui (1) was LBW to Euan McDonald – who then had No 3 Ashoka Senavirathn caught by Scott Griffiths three balls later.
Opener James Marchant did hit three fours in his 15 before being caught by Archie Hillier-Wood off Nick Daley’s bowling, and skipper Nigel Morgan steadied the ship with a patient 25 off 64 balls (four fours), before Daley again struck as Jake Griffiths took a sharp catch.
No 5 Jon Tooze was also resilient with 26 not out in 75 balls - and Matthew Vaughan boosted the tail with 15 - but McDonald (3 for 21), Daley (3 for 15) and Rob Hearne (3 for 14) all finished with three wickets each to set up a modest looking run chase.
And so it proved despite Morgan (1 for 17) skittling Griffiths for a golden duck, while his namesake Scott made 29 (four fours) before holing out to Jason Stobbs off Vaughan (1 for 12).
But opener Jake Davies hammered 10 boundaries for his unbeaten 54 off 44 balls, and George Smith (10 not out) made sure the total was reached in only 15.5 overs – and made sure the weather couldn’t scupper The Dock’s 100% record so far.
