Llangwm look god as they easily chase big total

 

Llangwm (164 for 3) beat Pembroke (160 for 6) by 7 wickets 

Umpires: Phil Griffiths and Gareth Brace. 
 
Opener Will Beresford and Phil Llewellyn didn’t hang about as Llangwm again showed their capability in chasing down big totals by beating Pembroke. 
 
The visitors posted 160 for 5, but it was a disappointing score given openers Paul White and Jack Harries had shared a stand of 97. 
 
That was broken when White was bowled by Luke Brock for a steady 27 (three fours), but Harries pushed on to make 82, cracking seven fours and six maximums in the process, before being caught by Ollie Davies off Steve Mills. 
 
No 3 Luke Butler made 21 (two fours and a six) but he was bowled by Mills, who continued to stall the hosts by removing Aidan Fraser and Jamie Kaijaks quickly in his 4-30, Brock finished with 1-20 and Matthew Kiff 1-21. 
 
The hosts then looked in a sticky patch however at 50 for 3, with opener Joe Kiff (16) falling to Harries (1-48), before Sam Davies (2-53) bowled Mills (9) and trapped Noah Davies in front for a duck. 
 
But then it was Beresford and Llewellyn who put on an unbroken 114. Beresford hit eight fours and a six to end 62 not out, while his partner smashed his way to an unbeaten 71 which included five fours and six sixes as Llangwm got the job done with 12 overs in hand. 

 

The Dock look good with rare win at Herbie

 

Herbrandston (81 all out) lost to Pembroke Dock (158 all out) by 77 runs 

 
Umpires: Neil Thomas and Tony Pasternak. 
Scorers: Clarissa Lewis and Nicola Murray. 
 
A solid all round performance from Pembroke Dock was enough to send them top of the table as they comfortably overcame Herbrandston. 
 
Put into bat, The Dock made 158 all out and Herbie never looked like chasing that down as they fell to 81 all out. 
 
The visitors reached 31-0 quickly with the bat but then opener Jake Griffiths, typically aggressive with three fours and a six in his quickfire 22, was bowled by Dean John. 
 
It became a double blow as skipper Scott Griffiths (4) came in but was run out cheaply following good work from Leigh Marchant, before other opener Jake Davies and George Smith steadied the ship. 
 
Davies made a cautious 32 (one four) before being caught by Marchant off Robert Hood, and the former continued to do damage as he later trapped Smith lbw for 27 (two fours). 
 
But Nick Daley also added 27 (one four) before being skittled by Rob Kingston and although wickets continued to fall, a third score of 27, this time to No 7 Jamie White (four fours), proved crucial in pushing The Dock past 150. 
 
White also fell to Marchant as he posted 4-40 to go with his fielding scalps, while John finished 1-34, Hood 1-35, and Kingston 2-18. 
 
Herbie opened with Jonty Bennett and Dean John and although the latter hammered two early fours and a maximum in his 15 he was then clean bowled by Euan McDonald, with No 3 Marchant lasting just four balls before going the same way to Billy Wood. 
 
Hood was then run out without scoring and Aaron Bowles was also castled by McDonald second ball, and although Bennett batted steadily for his 18 (one four) when he too was run out, Herbie were 51-5 and the game was over. 
 
There was a cameo from Ben Aldred which yielded 22 off just 14 balls, including two big sixes, but he was caught in the deep by Davies off Daley and the home tail then collapsed as The Dock wrapped things up inside 24 overs. 
 
Wickets were shared as McDonald finished 2-22, Wood 1-26, White 2-4, Smith 2-20, and Daley 1-7. 

 

Hook youngsters continue to shine

 

Hook (152 for 8) beat Kilgetty (103 all out) by 49 runs 

 
Umpires: Dave Bonner and Rob Bellerby. 
Scorers: Joy James and Rose Jenkins. 
 
It was a good 24 hours for Hook as they followed up their Harrison-Allen Bowl win at Llanrhian on Friday night with a win against Kilgetty. 
 
A knock of 48 not out from Seth Willington set the platform for the hosts to make 152-8, and the visitors duly fell 49 runs short thanks to some inspired bowling from Aled Phelps. 
 
Alongside Willington’s knock, Jamie Phelps made 30 and his son Owen also chipped in with a vital 21, while Richard Cope (3-24) and Jack Tucker (2-22) led the Kilgetty bowling. 
 
It was then the same pairing that led the run chase as Cope made 53 and Tucker 43, but the third of the Phelps’ family members did the damage with a spell of 4-27, while another talented youngster in Harry Makepeace took 3-20. 
 
It meant a first league win of the season for Hook, who now move level on points with third- placed Kilgetty.
