Ton up for Jones as Llanrhian leather Llangwm

 

Llanrhian (213 for 5) beat Llangwm 2nds (80 all out) by 133 runs

 
Jack Jones scored his maiden century as Llanrhian completed a comfortable win over Llangwm 2nds.
 
No 3 Jones hit ten fours and two sixes in his 103 not out to take his side to score of 213 for 5 in 40 overs.
 
This was after openers Jon Strawbridge and Paul Lewis had both got starts, Strawbridge making 20 (four fours) and Lewis 29 (two fours) before both were clean bowled by Michael Williams and Callum Jenkins respectively.
 
Ben Jones made 39 (five fours) before he too fell to Williams (2 for 32), and although Dan Morgan also notched two quick scalps (2 for 30)  - home skipper Nigel Delaney joined Jones at the end to add 23 not out (four fours) and take The Cows past 200.
 
Llangwm’s reply started cautiously as skipper Dom Asson (10) and Ewan Griffiths (2) put on 14 in eight overs, but once they went wickets fell regularly despite an entertaining cameo from Tom Rees, who hit four boundaries in his top score of 25.
 
For the hosts, Gary Reynolds starred with the ball as he took 5 for 23, after the opening pair of Daf Williams (2 for 18) and Tom Clarke (2 for 9) had bowled tight spells.
 
And there was also a wicket for Jones (1 for 14) to round off a memorable individual day for him.
 
 

Five star Stuart tees up an easy Tish win

 

Haverfordwest 3rds (65 all out) lost to St Ishmaels 2nds (66 for 1) by 9 wickets

 
Stuart Carpenter took 5 for 10 as St Ishmaels 2nds ensured it was another difficult day for Haverfordwest 3rds at the foot of the table.
 
Home skipper Dai Haynes again opted to bat and he himself led the way with 23 not out (three fours), finding brief support from No 4 Ross Dewstowe who made 16 (two fours).
There was also 11 from Matthew Vaughan but the other eight batsmen, and extras, added just 15 as the hosts were 65 all out.
 
Alongside Carpenter, Kevin Bowen was economical as ever with 2 for 9 in six overs, Ed Richards took 2 for 16, and Ollie Morgan-Rees 1 for 3.
 
Tish opener Karl Rhead then moved quickly to 22 (two fours and a six) but was caught by Neil Crawhsaw off Kieran Williams (1 for 16).
 
Opening partner Darren Hawkins hit 25 not out (two fours) though, and Morgan-Rees an unbeaten 11 as the pair polished off the runs inside 19 overs.
 
 

 ‘Fitzy’ fires Johnston at Narberth

 

Narberth 2nds (139 all out) lost to Johnston (143 for 5) by 5 wickets

 
Chris Fitzpatrick scored 69 as leaders Johnston secured a five wicket win in Narberth.

Chasing 140, the opener cracked 11 fours and a six to top score for his side and keeps the leaders on track for promotion.
 
The home side had earlier opted to bat first but endured a nightmare start by falling to 26 for 4 - but it was then that Will Nicholas and Rhodri Dyer rescued matters.
 
The pair added 66 with Dyer hitting six fours in his 35 – while Nicholas pushed on to make 55, having stroked ten boundaries.
 
But there was little support from the tail and the hosts were all out in 29 eventful overs, with Hafiz Farooq (3 for 32), Robert Hood (2 for 28), Keegan Codd (2 for 32), and Fitzpatrick (2 for 22 ) taking wickets.
 
It was Fitzpatrick who then led the chase despite losing fellow opener Leigh Walters (9) and Lee Summons (6) to a good spell of 2 for 32 from Dyer, while Josh Hicks hit a quick-fire 15 (14 in boundaries) before falling to Shay Norcross (1 for 25).
 
Chris Goodridge also hit two fours and a six in his 16 before being bowled by Jonathan Thomas (1 for 18), and Fitzpatrick eventually perished to Nicholas (1 for 12).
 
But Geno Cleal (10 not out) finished the job, hitting the winning boundary in what was only the 25^th over as The Tigers maintained their nine point lead at the top.
 
 

Laugharne win again as Collins-Davies carves up Neyland

 

Neyland 2nds (93 all out) lost to Laugharne (94 for 3) by 7 wickets

 
Callum Collins-Davies bowled a brilliant spell as Laugharne cemented third spot with this win in Neyland.
 
Collins-Davies returned figures of 4 for 8 in 5.2 overs and also notched a run out to boot as the hosts were shot out for 93, a total Andrew Edwards’ men chased down with room to spare.
 
Neyland skipper Paul Miller did opt to bat and despite losing George Smith (13) and No 3 Callum Power, at 77 for 2 his side seemed well placed.
 
But then Collins-Davies bowled Will Hughes after he looked well set on 18 (three fours), and things soon collapsed, with only opener Lyn Hughes offering late resistance before being seventh man out for a top score of 29 (three fours).
 
There were also Laugharne wickets for Carl Smith (2 for 31), Shaun Lynch (1 for 12), and Rob Couzens (1 for 23).
 
The visitors then endured a ropey start to their reply thanks to Tom Pritchard, who removed openers Alan Carter (1), Craig Hurst (10), and Edwards (2) to take 3 for 16 (eight overs) and leave matters at 42 for 3.
 
But No 3 Shane Williams made 33 not out (five fours), and Collins-Davies completed a fine all round day with an unbeaten 29 (four fours), as the pair saw Laugharne home.
 
 

Arthur and Berry boost Cresselly in Stackpole

 

Bosherston and Stackpole (161 for 8) lost to Cresselly 2nds (162 for 4) by 6 wickets

 
Scott Arthur and Ollie Berry starred with the bat as Cresselly 2nds made light work of a tricky chase in Stackpole.
 
Arthur hit 61 before Berry made a composed 37 not out as The Doves reached their target of 162 with six wickets in hand.
 
Stackpole skipper Simon Bevan had opted to bat and it was his knock of 40, along with 33 from Josh Davies, 35 from Alan Webster, and 20 from Geraint Shaw which helped yield a total of 161 for 8.
 
For Cresselly, new signing Christian Phillips continued his immediate impact with 3 for 19, and there was 2 for 28 for Matthew Lewis.
 
Away opener Neal Williams was then as solid as ever for his 35 before Arthur and later Berry took over, and despite a good blast of bowling from Lewys Gibby (3 for 26) Cresselly prevailed.
 
It’s now three straight league wins for Julian Arthur’s men, who are up to fourth in the table.
