Kyle stars as Narberth extend their lead

Narberth (250 for 7) beat Hook (131 all out) by 119 runs

Umpires: Denis Chiffi & Martin Jones
Scorers: Emma Richards

Another big innings by Kyle Quartermaine was the feature of league leaders’ Narberth’s big score against Hook before he joined Ben Hughes, Jordan Howell and especially Lewis Hough in taking them to another victory in their quest to return to the first division.

Quartermaine had 18 fours and a six in his 94 but was then bowled by Jamie Phelps seeking three figures – but brother Ben (38), Aaron Keane (23), Lewis Hough (16) and Chris Spratt gave support against Brennan martin (4 for 64), Bradley Flood (2 for 42) and Phelps (1 for 52).

Jack Britton (28), Phelps (14), Flood (26) and Brennan Martin (13 not out) all scored some runs for Hook but no-one was able to stay long enough to really influence matters against Kyle Quartermaine (2 for 16), Jordan Howell (2 for 22) Ben Hughes (2 for 23) and Hough (4 for 44) as Hook were bundled out in only 26.3 overs

Cam run brought to a halt by Town 2nds

Camrose 169 all out lost to Haverfordwest 2nds (170 for 8) by two wickets

Umpires: Rob Cousins & Rob Elliott
Scorer: Natalie Thomas

Camrose’s run of three successive wins was brought to an abrupt halt as Haverfordwest 2nds successfully chased down a total of 170 for victory, leaving the home side to regret the fact that they were without some of their key players.

Martin James (30), Joe John (43), Robin Ellis (26) and Thomas Parry (25) were the principal Cam scorers as Nigel Morgan (2 for 35), Avron Roulstone (2 for 28), Simon Williams (2 for 23), Ashley James (2 for 28) and Dan Cole (3 for 33) were The Town wicket takers.

Kern Cunningham provided the platform for Haverfordwest 2nds’ response with a typically hard-hitting 68 alongside James (17), Chris Phillips (17) and Cole (16) before Morgan (16 not out) and Simon Williams saw them home by two wickets in an absorbing clash, despite a 3 for 70 spell by Robin Ellis.

Cresselly 2nds keep on winning

Cresselly 2nds (193 for 5) beat Whitland 2nds (192 for 7) by 5 wickets

Umpires: John Williams & Kieran O’Connor
Scorers: Des Brace & Ann-Marie Jenkins

Division Two Reports 11th July 2015 - sponsored by Nicholas Insurance Cresselly Seconds batting strength in depth was again highlighted as they comfortably chased down Whitland 2nds’ challenging total of 192 for 7.

Leading the way again for Whitland was Paul Webb, who followed his unbeaten 92 the previous week with another boundary-sprinkled 83, supported by Nathan Evans (32) and Geraint Phillips (30) against Matthew Lewis (2 for 44), Matthew Webb (1 for 18), Tom Arthur (1 for 66), Oliver Richards (1 for 31) and Rhydian Rees (1 for 25).

Cresselly made light work of the challenge however, thanks to Rees (62), Alex Bailey (69) and Nick Davies (38), despite some yeoman work by Geraint Phillips (4 for 75) and Paul Webb (1 for 16)

Over 500 runs were scored at Saundersfoot as the home side amassed a huge 250 for 5 but Pembroke still passed it with seven wickets and 3.4 overs still in hand.

James Caine top scored for the Seasiders with 77, followed by old-timers Paul Mansbridge (41), Steve Cook (58) and Phil Jones (25 not out) as Jon Rogers (2 for 56), Rob Weston (2 for 40) and Sam Davies (1 for 29) claimed the wickets for Pembroke.

Barry Evans anchored the Treleet Boys’ reply with a typically patient 45 as he shared in a stand of over 100 with Phil Hay, who went on to score 96 (eight fours and five massive sixes) before he got out in sight of three figures.

Hay’s baby brother Andrew (22) and Rob Weston (another big hitter with six sixes in his speedy 55) took Pembroke to within sight of success before skipper Paul ‘Chalkie’ White appropriately saw them home with 20 not out.

Phil Hay - close to three figures for Pembroke

Burton edged out at Oatfield Park

Burton (137 all out) lost to Kilgetty (154 all out) by 17 runs

Umpires: Dave Brandon & Neil Croucher
Scorers: Dennis Venables & Hazel Poole

There was a nervy finish at Oatfield Park before visitors Kilgetty edged home by only 17 runs as the home side failed to chase down a target of 155 runs for victory.

Jack Parkinson (24), Toby Poole (10) and Sam Hardy (17) managed double figures but Tom Lewis was top scorer with 56 not out (seven fours), ably assisted by skipper Ian Poole (32 not out) as they finished on 155 all out in the 42^nd over.

It left Burton with 48 overs to achieve a much-needed win – and James Davies (14), Luke Hayman (38) and Phil Sutton (47) helped them on their way but they lost wickets at vital times against Ross Hardy (4 for 31), Parkinson (2 for 19) and Kyle Marsh (1 for 25). Victory put Kilgetty in third place in the table, whilst defeat keeps Burton firmly pinned in the bottom three.
