Match One:

 

F & G far too strong for the ‘Golden Oldies’

 

Seniors B (45 all out) lost to Fishguard & Goodwick (48 for 0) by 6 wickets

 
Pembs Seniors B disappointing run of results continued as they were shot out by Fishguard & Goodwick for only 45 from 8.3 overs as they were unable to make real headway against a strong attack which welcomed pace man Anthony Couzens back into action and he joined skipper Nigel Delaney in claiming a wicket for just a few runs.
 
But again, Ashish Jayes was the key bowler for F & G as he only delivered nine balls but ended up with an amazing 4 wickets whilst conceding only two singles!
 
The Seniors suffered a dreadful start as they welcomed back Stewart Carpenter but Jayes bowled him first ball, as he did six runs later by bowling the veterans’ best batsman in Mark Davies first ball as well.
 
Mike Williams and Rob Canton came and went but at least the Seniors had double figures from Phil Keen and skipper Rod Murphy alongside some runs from ‘Mr Extras’ but their lowly tally was unlikely to trouble a strong F & G team which piled on the agony.
 
And that is exactly how it went as Iwan Jones maintained his excellent form with the bat this season as he stroked a six and four as he faced only 11 balls in his undefeated knock.
 
Rhys Dalling, who has made an immediate impact since renewing his cricketing interest this season, was just as quick with 19 runs from only seven balls, which also included a six and a four.
So, skipper Nigel Delaney suffered the unusual feat of coming to the wicket but didn’t have to face a single ball as they were home and dry in three overs!
 
Seniors A Batting: Phil Keen 11, Rod Murphy 12. Extras 11
F & G Bowling: Ashish Jayes 4 for 2, Anthony Couzens 1-10, Nigel Delaney 1-7, Rhys Dalling 0-8
F & G Batting: Iwan James 28*, Rhys Dalling 19*
 
 

Match Two:

 

Herbie in a hurry – and an easy win

 

Pembroke B (92 for 3) lost to Herbrandston (96 for 0) by 6 wickets

 
Pembroke suffered the same heavy margin of defeat against Herbrandston but at least had the satisfaction of batting first and setting a reasonable score that forced Herbie to bat well.
 
Will Davies led the Pembroke batting with a typically classy 37 from his two stints at the crease as he faced 25 balls and included a six and a four, and with youngster George Morgan, who also retired having faced only 19 balls, including a straight six.
 
Andrew Hillier-Wood also reached double figures but when he was run out that means of dismissal was shared by Gareth Mitchell, Shaun and Ollie Donohoe when the good start evaporated as Morgan Britton, Rhys Power and 14 year old Leon Hood bowled tight two-over spells.
 
Then the formidable Herbie run machine powered up as openers Charlie Malloy and Atticus Kingston reached their retirement scores in 11 and 10 balls respectively, the latter belting three sixes,
 
Morgan Britton kept things ticking over and Rhys Power also slammed three sixes as he faced only nine deliveries as Herbie strolled home in only 6.3 overs.
 
Only George Morgan didn’t receive the heavy punishment inflicted on Gareth Mitchell and the Donohoe boys as Herbie again showed they are a potent force at this level.
 
Pembroke B Batting: Will Davies 37*, George Morgan 25*, Archie Hillier-Wood 12
Herbrandston Bowling: Morgan Britton 0-16, Leon Hood 0-16, Rhys Power 0-17
Herbrandston Batting: Charlie Mally 26*, Atticus Kingston 27*, Morgan Britton 15*, Rhys Power 28*
Pembroke B Bowling: George Morgan 0-11:
 
 
 

Match Three:

 

Lawrenny stroll home against inexperienced opposition

 

Neyland B (55 for 6) lost to Lawrenny (57 for 0) by 6 wickets

 
Neyland B fielded an inexperienced side against a Lawrenny team which is now beginning to come to terms with the indoor game and were good value for their win by a maximum margin.
 
The B team made a good start as skipper Martin Lewis batted really well before retiring, with two well-struck boundaries to his name, ably assisted by Iestyn Lewis, who reached double figures with the aid of a straight six.
 
But then all the Lawrenny bowlers grabbed a wicket apiece, with skipper Finley Lewis, Will Allen and Charlie Arthur as the most economical, but ably assisted by Taylor Lewis and Rhys Eynon as the B team departed from 8.3 overs.
 
But then the Lawrenny big hitters showed how to accumulate runs quickly via Finley Lewis (four fours in his nine balls faced to reach a retirement score and bring in brother Oscar to help Charlie Arthur (two fours and two sixes) as he faced only ten balls.
 
They reached their target in only 3.4 overs but the Neyland youngsters can only benefit from this exposure - and did enough to show they will quickly improve in this version of the game!
 
Neyland B Batting: Iestyn Lewis 14, Martyn Lewis 25
Lawrenny Bowling: Charlie Arthur 1-7, Taylor Lewis 1-13, Finley Lewis 1-3
Lawrenny Batting: Finley Lewis 25*, Charlie Arthur 21*
