LAMPHEY II v FISHGUARD II 28/8/10
                                                            

                                                                                                Match Sponsored by

                   Lamphey (85) lost to Fishguard (86 for 2) by 8 wickets

                                      
Lamphey entertained promotion chasing Fishguard in the last game of the season on Saturday. Batting first Lamphey, strengthened by the return of Barry Dilworth, George Eddison and Jeff Moseley would have perhaps felt a little disappointed to only reach a total of 85.

Main run getters for the Stags were Stuart Midgley who saved his best display with the bat for last as he chipped in with 21 not out inc 2x6s batting number 9. Earlier on Lamphey had Maldwyn Llewellyn (15) and George Eddision (14 inc 1x6) to thank for getting the side off to a reasonable start, however with Luca trimarco and Haydn Cole at 4 and 5 both being dismissed for 0 that good work was undone. Dilworth in a 6 scored 12 before departing whilst Brunton (4) and Dodd (7) couldnt hang around to make telling contributions. Powell in at 10 departed for 0 and Midgley ran out of partners when skipper Daye was dismissed for 2.

Chasing a total of 85 the visitors took their time knowing a little over 2 and over was well within their capabilities. Eddison, Llewellyn and Trimarco bowled well without any luck early on and it was only when Dilworth (1 for 29) and Brunton (1 for 8) were introduced to the attack did the visitors lose wickets. However always in control, Fishguard reached the target in 23 overs with the loss of no further wickets. Opener K Bowen top scored with 34 before being bowled by Dilworth and D John remained on 19 not out.

A season which overall sees the Stags 2nd string finish 6th in Division 6 and with 4 sides below them will be satisfied with the final position. Over the last couple of seasons they have finished 10th (out of 11) and 8th (out of 10) so there is definite improvement. Hopefully with the youngsters having that extra years experience and with one or two additional players the opportunity to improve will once again be there.

Star Man - Stuart Midgley - Saves his best for last - 21not out including 2 big sixes.


LAMPHEY II v PEMBROKE DOCK II 14/8/10
                                                            

                                                                                                Match Sponsored by
                                        
                                  THE HOPE INN
                     
                   Lamphey (110 for 8) drew with Pembroke Dock (138 for 7)

                                      
Lamphey showed a true grit in their latest division 6 league match with promotion hunting Pembroke Dock. With the Dock batting first they must have been looking for a total of 150 plus, however with only Chris Boyett (25) and John Davies (22) the only pair really getting established it was no surprise that tight bowling from Haydn Cole (3 for 15) and Mal Llewellyn (3 for 28) restricted the visitors to 138 of their allocated 40 overs.

The Stags second string have perhaps been guilty of collapsing when chasing the game, however a top score of 36 from Giusseppe Trimarco, 17 from Haydn Cole (including 2 6s) and 10 not out from teenager Scott Brunton Lamphey fell just 29 runs short of victory whilst ensuring they did just enough to secure maximum draw points.

This result shows the positives of the second string this season, whilst Pembroke Dock will be frustrated that they were unable to knock over the final 2 wickets needed for the win the Stags will be pleased with a good days work

Star Man - Giusseppe Trimarco - A great knock of 36 showed he has the ability to chip in with vital runs.
ST CLEARS v LAMPHEY II 7/8/10

                   St Clears (49 for 1) beat Lamphey (48) by 9 wickets

                                      

Lamphey had the daunting task of travelling to undefeated St Clears, a task even more daunting as they travelled with only 10 players due to a late withdrawal.

On winning the toss skipper Daye elected to bat and Lamphey had Rhys Miller (11), Haydn Cole (10) and Jeff Moseley (9) to thank as the main run scorer.

With only 49 needed to win it was never going to be enough against a St Clears side who regularly post 200 plus most weekends and it was no surprise when they won the game comfortably for only the loss of 1 wicket courtesy of a smart catch by Haydn Cole off the bowling of Luca Trimarco.

A game which was always going to be mission impossible for the Stags, St Clears only reinforced their crudentials in a season when they have been far superior to every other side in the division and on this evidence will find its feet in division 4 or 3 in a few years time. One consolation for the Stags is that 2nd placed Fishguard played St Clears a few weeks back and only managed to score 3 more runs in securing a very one sided drawn game.

Star Man - Rhys Miller - top scored with 11 and showed that he has the potential to be somewhat of a big hitter


LAMPHEY II v HUNDLETON II 24/7/10

                   Lamphey (80 for 9) lost to Hundleton II (81 for 3) by 7 wickets

For the Stags Gethin Llewellyn top scored with 24, Jeff Moseley 10 and Jon Mathias 10. Finishing on 80 for 9 off their allocated 40 overs. S Eagles took 5 for 17 for the visitors.

Hundleton passed the Lamphey total for the loss of only 3 wickets as P Edwards scored 42. For the home side there was a wicket apiece for Luca Trimarco, Haydn Cole and Mal Llewellyn. There were also 3 catches as Cole and keeper Tom Powell (2) took those chances going their way.                                


LLANRHIAN III v LAMPHEY II 17/7/10

                        Llanrhian III (72 for 9) drew with Lamphey (98)

A trip to St Davids saw the seconds face Llanrhian IIIs, the team directly below them, in this latest match.

With Lamphey batting first the opening pair found themselves on a very difficult wicket which didnt offer a lot. Such was the variation that one delivery Mal Llewellyn hit for 6 the next shot low trapping him LBW. Luca Trimarco in at 3 added to his duck the week before and Jeff Moseley soon departed for 4. Tim Bourne (10) and Dan Cremin (9) restored some balance but cheap dismissals for Midgley (0) and Mathias (4) saw the game shift the way of the home side. The unlikely saviour of the innings however was Tom Powell who chipped in with a very valuable 11 not out as wickets of Daye (0), White (6) and John (4) fell around him. Top scorer of the innings was Mr Extras with 44. At the close of play Lamphey had reached 98 all out.

Opening the bowling was Luca Trimarco and Mal Llewellyn. The pair getting off to a great start as the home side lost 2 wickets with the score on 3. The 3rd wicket fell on 13, the 4th on 21 and the 5th on 22 as the openers caused all sorts of problems. The home side did show some resistance with a partnership of 30 for the 6th wicket thanks mainly to D Burrows snr who chipped in with 25.  Once shifted however wickets began to tumble again as Llewellyn saw the 7th wicket fall on 52 and the 8th on 59. With Trimarco finishing with great figures of 2 for 9 off 12 and Llewellyn 6 for 24 off 12 it was left to Cremin and Moseley to winkle out the remaining 2 bats. The 9th wicket fell to Moseley with the score on 66 however with 10 overs remaining the final pairing somehow managed to shut up shop and block out the remainder of the match, finishing agonisingly for the Stags on 72 for 9 off 40 overs. In the field Stuart Midgley took 2 catches.

Team to play Hundleton IIs from: M Llewellyn, H Cole, J Moseley, S Midgley, G Llewellyn, T Bourne, J Mathias, A Dodd, D Cremin, Luca Trimarco, Seppe Trimarco, T Powell, J White, S Brunton, R Miller, G Purser, C Weatherall and R John.

Star Man - Mal Llewellyn - His second 6 wicket haul of the season taking his tally to 25.


LAMPHEY II v STACKPOLE III 10/7/10

                                                            

                                                                                                Match Sponsored by

                                           
                                         Nalco

                        Lamphey II (89) beat Stackpole II (62) by 27 runs

Lamphey IIs entertained local rivals Stackpole knowing a win would not only give the side a boost but also see them potentially end the day in their highest league placing this season.

With Stackpole winning the toss the Stags found themselves batting first, a choice skipper Daye would have made anyhow. Things didnt get off to the best of starts as the home side found themselves 2 wickets down for no runs in the first over as the usually reliable Moseley and Luca Trimarco back in the seconds after several weeks in the firsts fell victim to the impressive Zach Cole. With Gethin Llewellyn only chipping in with 4 it was lucky that vice skipper Mal Llewellyn (17) bode his time at the crease and with Andrew Dodd (14) and Rhys Miller (15) went about establishing a target. With skipper Daye managing a seasons best of 13 and with Julian White (6) holding an end Lamphey managed to reach a total of 89 before being dismissed.

Any ideas of victory that Stackpole harboured were blown apart early on as Luca Trimarco showed what he can do with the ball to take 3 for 12 off his permitted 7 over spell and along side the impressive Llewellyn - 2 for 30 off 12 - Stackpole found themselves in real trouble. If they thought things would get any easier with the chance bowling they were wrong as U15 player Rhys Miller produced a great spell of bowling to take 4 for 14 off 6 overs and despite some resistance from the no9 bat Marshall (12) and 10 bat Alderman (15) it was left to Andrew Dodd with his first ball to dismiss the last man leaving Stackpole stranded on 62 all out. In the field there were catches for Gethin Llewellyn (3), Jeff Moseley, Mal Llewellyn and Luca Trimarco.

A great result sees the Stags pick up their 3rd win of the season and sit in 6th place. With a visit to Llanrhian IIIs who were dismissed for just 28 on the weekend the Stags will be looking to cement their mid table position.

Team to play Llanrhian IIIs away from: G Daye, M Llewellyn, H Cole, J Moseley, S Midgley, T Bourne, J Mathias, N Mounter, D Cremin, Luca Trimarco, Seppe Trimarco, T Powell, J White, G Purser, C Weatherall and R John.

Star Man - Rhys Miller - Top scored with 15 then took 4 for 14 for an all round performance.

            Lamphey II (42) lost to Camrose & Spittal II (264 for 4 dec) by 222 runs

A depleted Lamphey 2nds side entertained a very strong visiting XI on saturday. Sensing this the visitors elected to bat and made hay whilst the sun shone. With Lamphey relying on Llewellyn, Dodd, Cremin and Purser as their attack the home side were made to toil in the field.

The visitors racked up the runs thanks mainly to M Jones was remained undefeated on 103 and M Tweedie (83) who also remained at the crease before they were called in by the skipper who halted the innings in the 33rd over with the score on 264 for 4.

For Lamphey Andrew Dodd finished with 2 for 54, Dan Cremin 1 for 79 and Graham Purser also with 1 for 79. In the field Dan Cremin took 2 catches and Julian White on his return to the Stag herd in many years took a 1 catch.

With such a daunting target to chase it was no surprise that a weakened home side had little in the form of resistance and things could have been much worse if it hadnt been for Jeff Moseley (12) and Stuart Midgley (10). Skipper Geoff Daye was next highest with 7 and Julian White remained not out on 5 as the Stags were dismissed for 42 and a whopping 222 run defeat.

With the visit of Stackpole IIs this weekend, the Stags will be looking for maximum points as the return of Cole, Llewellyn, Mounter and the two Trimarcos to the fold will give the side a much stronger look all round.

Team to play Stackpole IIs at home from: G Daye, M Llewellyn, H Cole, J Moseley, S Midgley, A Dodd, N Mounter, D Cremin, Luca Trimarco, G Llewellyn, Seppe Trimarco, R Miller, J White, R John.

Star Man - Jeff Moseley - The opener with 12 tried his best to hold the innings together


BURTON III v LAMPHEY II 26/6/10

                          Burton III (92 for 0) beat Lamphey II (91) by 10 wickets

Lamphey 2nds travelled to fellow strugglers Burton IIIs on saturday without 4 first choice players, 3 of whom had been called up for 1st XI duty. Still a side with enough ability travelled across the water in confident mood, however unbeknown to them they were to face a much sterner test than expected thanks to St Florence pulling out a their scheduled fixture with Burton IIs.

With a stronger team than expected Burton IIIs put Lamphey into bat. The opening pair of Llewellyn and Moseley continued their good understanding and added 19 for the 1st wicket before Llewellyn was adjudged to be out for 12, Mounter and Moseley added another 15 before the former departed for 7. Cremin in at 3 chipped in with 9 before he departed with the score on 49. Dodd at 5 came and went without adding to the score bringing the in form Hadyn Cole to the crease. Together with Moseley they advanced the score to 81 before a collapse ensued and the last 5 Stags wickets went for only 10 runs. Cole top scoring with 22, Moseley a patient 14, Rhys Miller on his debut 3 and Stuart Midgley 5.

A target of 91 on another day could maybe have been enough to see the Stags home however despite the best efforts of Dodd, Llewellyn, Cole and Miller the opening pair of Evans and Ridge passed the Lamphey total in 16.4 overs cantering to a 10 wicket win.

Team to play Camrose & Spittal IIs from: G Daye, M Llewellyn, J Moseley, S Midgley, A Dodd, N Mounter, D Cremin, Giusseppe or Luca Trimarco, J Price, J Mathias, G Llewellyn, G Purser, T Bourne, C Weatherall, R John.

Star Man - Haydn Cole - Another week in the runs saw him finish top scorer with 22.



FISHGUARD II v LAMPHEY II 19/6/10

                                 WELL HILL GARAGE

                           Fishguard II (179 for 3) drew with Lamphey II (125 for 8) 

Lamphey 2nds travelled to 2nd place Fishguard knowing that they would have to perform well to get a result.

Things looked tough early on as Both Trimarco's toiled against the opening pair of De Groot and Hayes. It was the change of bowling which brought about the fall of the 1st wicket as leading wicket taker Mal Llewellyn stepped  up to the plate. 74 for 1 and the Stags had to wait for a further 50 runs before Andrew Dodd picked up the 1st of his two wickets, 125 for 2 soon became 131 for 3 as Dodd struck again to finish with figures of 2 for 29. However despite the best effort of the visitors no further wickets fell and the home side closed on 179 for 3 off their allocated 40 overs.

Lamphey IIs have proven to be a tougher nut to crack of late and undaunted by the total in front of them set about their reply. Although Lamphey lost Llewellyn early on for 3, Moseley (12) in his 2nd game for the Club got in double figures once more. Wickets did fall despite the best efforts of Gethin Llewellyn who batted well for 16 and Nathan Mounter reached double figures with a useful 10. However the saviour of the Lamphey team had to be Haydn Cole who batted well to score 51 (2x6, 4x4 and numerous singles!), his 2nd 50 of the season. With this resistance Lamphey were able to bat long enough to enter the draw points equation and although they lost Luca Trimarco for 7 and Midgley for 4 it was down to Dodd and skipper Daye to see out the last over and earn a hard fought draw.

A good result against one of the top sides in the division. A resilience is begining to show through as the Stags self belief increases. They will be looking to add a win to their previous 2 this weekend as they travel to Burton IIIs postage stamp ground in a game which should be fairly evenly matched but hopefully one the Stags can win.

Team to play Burton IIIs from: G Daye, M Llewellyn, J Moseley, H Cole, S Midgley, A Dodd, N Mounter, T Powell, D Cremin, Giusseppe/Luca Trimarco, J Price, G Purser, T Bourne, C Weatherall, R John.

Star Man - Haydn Cole - His 2nd 50 of the season held the Lamphey batting together and earned the side a hard fought draw.

                           Lamphey II (115) beat Crymych II by 50 runs

Lamphey 2nds entertained Crymych IIs on saturday and with the visitors below the Stags must have been confident of a positive result.

Things couldnt have got of to a better start as new boy Jeff Moseley (24), in his first game since transferring from the Dock and Mal Llewellyn (20) gave the home side the firm platform they have missed so often this season. Although the Stags lost 1st XI batsman Jason Oatley for 0 they didnt get pressured and with Gethin Llewellyn chipping in with 12 and Nathan Mounters middle order 35, including one huuuuuge 6, the home side closed their innings on 115.

The opening responsibilities fell to Oatley and Mal Llewellyn with both bowling a good tight line and length it was no surprise as wickets soon began to tumble, Oatley bagging 2 for 10 off 8 and Llewellyn a fantastic 6 for 33 off 11, his best bowling figures ever in just 4 years of playing cricket, the final 2 wickets of the visitors innings belonged to youngster Dan Cremin who finished with 2 for 19 as Crymych were skittled out for 65 and the Stags celebrated their 2nd win of the season in style.

This saturday (19th) the 2nd XI travel to Fishguard the team is : - G Daye, H Cole, M Llewellyn, G Llewellyn, A Dodd, Gianluca Trimarco, Giusseppe Trimarco, N Mounter, D Cremin, T Powell, J Moseley. Reserves from: S Midgley, J Price, G Purser, T Bourne, C Weatherall, R John



Star Man - Mal Llewellyn - An amazing day saw Mal beat his personal best with both bat and ball, 20 and 6 for 33.

Lamphey entertained fellow sixth division side Fishguard in this Alec Colley round 1 tie. Batting first Lamphey got of to a slow but sure start with Mal Llewellyn and Tim Bourne putting on 20 for the 1st wicket. However after Llewellyn (8) and Bourne (9) departed the Stags capitulated against the visitors attack, with only Nathan Mounter scoring above 5 and 4 players not troubling the scorers it was no surprise as the home side were skittled for just 39 runs.

With little to lose the Stags showed some character with both the ball and in the field to make Fishguard work hard for victory. Haydn Cole took 4 for 5 and Luca Trimarco chipped in with one as Fishguard passed the total with 5 wickets down.

Had the Stags managed just another 30 or 40 runs then they could well have been the side progressing to the next round of the cup, however as it is they will have to make do with thoughts of next years competition.
                                       

Star Man - Haydn Cole - took 4 for 5 to give the Stags the slightest glimmer of hope

Ten man Lamphey travelled to promotion candidates Pembroke Dock on Saturday feeling confident after a fine deisplay against league leaders St Clears the week before. Batting first Lamphey soon lost their first wicket as Midgley was out for 0. Giusseppe Trimarco in at 3 hadnt been with vice skipper Mal Llewellyn long before Llewellyn departed for 5. Dodd back in the side scored 5 and Mounter in at 5 was also out for 0. Last weeks hero Cole came to the crease and gave a brief hope of a repeat performance with a 6 but he soon departed for 9. This meant Dan Cremin kjoined Triamrco in the middle however Trimarco departed for 24 and although skipper Geoff Daye (6), Tom Powell (4) and Cyle Weatherall (1) provided some assistance Cremin was left stranded on 24 not out and the Stags were all out for 91 in 28 overs.

The Stags opened the bowling with Trimarco and Cremin who despite not making a breakthrough bowled well. It was the change pair of Cole and Llewellyn who took one wicket apiece as Steve ALford 42 and C Boyett 35 saw the Dock to 90 for 2 before John Davies finished the game in the 20th over.

A tough game for the Stags not made easy by the fact they were short of a number of first choice players. With one or two returning next week and new signing Jeff Moseley hopefully cleared to play the Stags will be looking for a positive result against Crymych on Saturday

                Lamphey II (163 for 9) lost to St Clears (164 for 5) by 5 wickets


A strengthened Stags side welcomed back Mal Llewellyn, Andrew Dodd and Guisseppe Trimarco to the fold for this game against a tough oponent and favourites for the title St Clears on bank holiday Monday.

Batting first the Stags set the shell shocked visitors an imposing target to chase after finishing their innings on an excellent 163 for 9. This was as a result of Haydn Cole leading the way with an excellent innings of 83 not out (inc 2x6s) and Guiseppe Trimarco who found form to support Cole with a good knock of 25. There were also runs from Mal Llewellyn and skipper Geoff Daye who chipped in with 8 a piece.

Lamphey opened the bowling with the Trimarco brothers, Seppe and Luca, who both bowled well to snap up one and two wickets respectively. Some tight bowling and good fielding meant the visitors werent having the game all their own way and with a further wicket to fall to Haydn Cole - caught and bowled - and a run out from Luca Trimarco the visitors had to rely on A Edward (54*) and R Morgan (31*) to steer St Clears to victory with just 2 overs remaining.

A great performance from the Stags - a great total which would have been too good for most of the teams in Division 6 - saw them fall just short of what would have been an excellent winning draw. Saturday they travel to Pembroke Dock for another game which will be as tough as this, however if they can perform as they did today a result is not out of the question.

Star Man - Haydn Cole - An excellent knock of 83 gave the visitors something to think about.

                               Hundleton II (59 for 4) beat Lamphey II (57) by 6 wickets


Lamphey 2nds travelled to Hundleton to play this latest Division 6 game and due to unavailability this game became a 9-a-side fixture. Batting first Lamphey posted a total of 57 thanks mainly to Tim Bourne (18) and Nathan Mounter (13).

Hundleton got off to a good start in reply as they reached 43 for the loss of the 1st wicket although the Stags were unlucky with an LBW shout with the score on 0. This triggered something of a mini collapse as Hundleton then proceeded to lose a further two wickets with the score on 43, thanks to the bowling of Luca Trimarco and Haydn Cole. There was still time for Hundleton to lose a 4th wicket with the score on 53 thanks to a Tom Powell run out before making the target in just 12 overs.

With a bit more luck the Stags could have been on the end of a victory however they just didnt have enough runs in the bag to make the hosts suffer

Star Man - Tim Bourne - the opener set the standard with a top score of 18



LAMPHEY II v LLANRHIAN III 22/5/10

                              Lamphey II (42) lost to Llanrhian III (43 for 3) by 7 wickets


Lamphey 2nds batting first got off  to a bad start when they lost opener Luca Trimarco LBW for 0. However the 3rd wicket partnership between Mal Llewellyn (9) and Dan Cremin (14) proved to be the most fruitful. The weakened 2nd XI  proved to be no match for the bowling of Karl  Davies (4 for 19) and  R John (2 for 3) as no other  Lamphey player reached double figures. In fact a side  which included 4 ducks meant the Stags could only managed 42.

The second half of the game got off to a good start for the home side as Luca Trimarco and Mal Llewellyn opened the bowling and they proceeded to dismiss both openers for 0 and the number 3 bat for 6, however a strengthened Llanrhian III XI boosted by their 2nd XI fixture being called off lost no further wickets as they reached 46 for 3 thanks to J Lovett 13* and R John 12*. Mal Llewellyn finishing with 2 for 20 and Luca Trimarco 1 for 24.

Star Man - Dan Cremin - the youngster is starting to show what he can do with the bat.

                       Stackpole II (110) lost to Lamphey II (112 for 3) by 7 wickets

Lamphey seconds found themselves on the road once more away to local rivals Stackpole who themselves had failed to raise a side the previous week. With the Stags in the strange position of having 13 available to choose from skipper Daye went with the majority of the side that had done well the week before and included Gethin Llewellyn who was released from 1st XI duties.

On winning the toss Daye invited Stackpole to bat and it wasnt long before the wickets beagn to tumble. Good bowling from Trimarco and Llewellyn senior and some great fielding from the young Stags side saw the home side under real pressure. Infact it was only the old heads in Phil Tallet and Lyn Childs who put up any resistance as they between them scored 74 off the 110 and with there being 30 wides and no balls there was little else from the 8 Stackpole players. Llewellyn took 2 wickets to add to the 5 he had the week before and other wickets were shared around as Trimarco Gethin Llewellyn and Andrew Dodd picked up one apiece. There were also 2 run outs as Gethin Llewellyn and Geoff Daye capitalised on the inexperienced Stackpole side and catches for Trimarco, Midgley and Cremin.

An awkward total of 110 asked questions of the Stags batting line up, however they answered all that was asked as despite losing Mathias for 2, every other batsman managed double figures. Dodd chipped in with another 13 to go with last weeks doube figures, U15 skipper Trimarco opened and scored 28 before it was left to 17 year old Gethin Llewellyn (34*) and 15 year old Dan Cremin (26*) to see the visitors home for their first win of the season.

A top performance against granted an understrength Stackpole side, however these games still have to be won and overcomplacency was not an issue. The youngsters in the side are finding their feet with the mature giving the stability needed. A few more performances of this calibre should see the Stags continue to progress up the table starting next weekend with the visit of Llanrhian IIIs to the LCG. 

The squad for the Llanrhian III home game is from: G Daye, M Llewellyn, H Cole, S Midgely, Gianluca Trimarco, D Cremin, T Powell, C Weatherall, G Purser, T Bourne, R John, D Eddison, J Price.

Star Man - Gethin Llewellyn - Just pipps young Cremin with his wicket, run out and 34 not out to steer the Stags home


CAMROSE & SPITTAL v LAMPHEY II 8/5/10

                        Camrose and Spittal (179 for 6) beat Lamphey (48) by 131 runs

Lamphey seconds travelled to Camrose and Spittal one short of the full compliment. However with confidence high the skipper, on winning the toss,elected to field first. An even game ensued early on as both sides played some good cricket. Lamphey opened with Luca Trimarco and Mal Llewellyn with the latter returning with his best ever figures of 5 for 44 off 12 overs, even more so impressive as this is only his 3rd season playing cricket. young Dan Cremin replaced Trimarco and continued his good early season form taking 1 for 28 off 9, as Trimarco finished with 0 for 38 off 10. The home side reaching 170 for 6 off their allocated 40 overs as Simon Atyeo scored 60 not out and Joe John 27 not out.

With the Lamphey batting not having the best of luck thanks to a mixture of good bowling and good fielding the challenge got off to a rocky start from the outset. Despite the Stags showing some resilience to bat 33 overs only Andrew Dodd reached double figures as he scored 15 with the next highest scorer being young Dan Cremin with 7.

Saturday sees Lamphey travel to Stackpole seconds who like the Stags have had a tough start to the season as they were unable to field a side on saturday and find themselves just one point better off in the league table.

The squad for the Stackpole game is from:
G Daye, M Llewellyn, G Llewellyn, J Mathias, H Cole, S Midgely, A Dodd, N Mounter, Gianluca Trimarco, D Cremin, T Powell, C Weatherall, G Purser, T Bourne


Star Man - Mal Llewellyn - Top performance with the ball, his first 5 wicket haul in senior cricket

Lamphey seconds kicked of their 2010 campaign with a home tie against Burton IIIs. With the home side losing the toss it was inevitable that they would be put into bat. The new opening attack of Mathias and Llewellyn got the game going however Mathias soon departed LBW for 4. Midgely in at 3 scored 2 before he too departed leaving Llewellyn at the crease with Guisseppe Trimarco. The pair went about adding some stability to the side until Llewellyn (19) departed leaving the Stags on 30 for 3 off 12. Andrew Dodd back after a seasons layoff scored 6 before he too departed although Trimarco at the other end moved the score along and by the time he departed the score was 60 for 4 off the first 20. Nathan Mounter added a good 12 to the score however wickets tumbled regularly as Dan Cremin 6, Tom Price 0, and Graham Purser 4, meant that the Stags went from 60 for 4 to 81 all out with no less than 3 of the home side run out. Skipper Daye remained undefeated at 0 not out as the 10 man team departed for tea.

A score of 84 in this division can quite often be good enough to win, however with the side missing one or two bowlers it was down to Trimarco and Cremin to open the bowling, the latter picking up a wicket and despite the introduction of Dodd and Midgely to the attack the visitors reached 86 for 1 off just 14 overs.

Star Man - Guisseppe Trimarco - just edges Lllewellyn by courtesy of scoring 2 more runs
