Division 3 league leaders Llechryd increased their lead at the top of the table after they secured a winning draw against promotion rivals Haverfordwest 3rds and Steve Curran and his men were unlucky not to pick up a straight win as their opponents were left clinging on by their fingertips on 107-9.
Haverfordwest 3rds 107-9
Llechryd 140-6
Opening bat Mike Carter who has been in imperious form in recent weeks was once again the top scorer and he made 47 and he found a useful ally in opening partner Dewi Davies who also made a valuable contribution with 44 runs. The Teifisiders though were unable to build on this excellent foundation and they closed on 140-6 with Owen James the pick of the home bowlers with 4-19 and helping to restrict Llechryd to a modest score.
Haverfordwest struggled from the off and were unable to put any partnerships together in the face of some tight bowling from the likes of Mark Newell with 4-24. David Haynes who scored 18 was one of the few batsmen to get in but he was clean bowled just as he looked in for a decent score.
Division 4
Fishguard 72 all out
Llechryd 2nds 73-3
A man of the match performance from Andrew Fletcher helped Llechryd 2nds move up into the promotion zone after they inflicted a heavy defeat upon Fishguard .All rounder Fletcher who also helps out behind the stumps occasionally, top scored for his team and took half the wickets during an impressive spell that produced 5-15.
The seagulls who were missing a few players could only muster 72 before they were all out with Fletcher taking the main share of the wickets but he was well backed up by young all rounder Joe Mansfield who took two wickets. Rob Cousins was the best of the Fishguard batsmen with 27 runs.
Llechryd made light work of the job in hand with Fletcher adding 28 runs and Mansfield completed an excellent afternoon for the all rounders with a knock of 20 to see the Castell Malgwyn men home by seven wickets.
