LAMPHEY II v LLANGWM III 31/5/08
Match sponsored by
Lamphey II (17) lost to Llangwm III (160) by 143 runs
10 Man Lamphey entertained an in form Llangwm III side on Saturday who took to the field with only 9 men themselves. The result was an emphatic victory for the visitors who cruised to a crushing 143 run victory. With Lamphey shorn of players in both sides the 2nd XI were hit with the loss of inspirational Skipper Skeels, who was called up for first team duty alongside Tim Bourne and Jason Griffiths who both had work committments. This meant only 10 players were available including a senior Lamphey debut for 12 year old Scott Brunton, following in the footsteps of stalwart father Haydn Cole. Another first saw 13 year old James Skeels captain the side in his fathers absence. Unfortunately after putting Llangwm into bat first the day was not to get any better as the visitors racked up 160 before their innings closed. Wickets were shared around as Barry Dilworth claimed his first 5 wicket haul for the stags with James Skeels and Guisseppe Trimarco chipping in with 2 and 1 wicket respectively. A daunting score was made even more difficult by some tight bowling and with wickets falling at regular intervals only 3 Lamphey players actually managed to get off the mark - Scott Duffy (7), James Skeels (4) and Scott Brunton (1 not out). A poor result however with players returning next saturday a result which will be put to the back of the 2nd XI players minds as they continue their sixth division campaign. Star Man - Barry Dilworth - His first 5 wicket haul the only highlight on a day to forget. LAMPHEY v KILGETTY II

Lamphey II entertained Kilgetty II for this first time at Lamphey on Saturday. A fine performance from a youthful side saw the Stags second string complete an impressive 7 wicket victory over the visitors. With Skipper Skeels absent for this encounter, Vice Captain Tim Bourne tossed with his counterpart and despite winning the toss Kilgetty chose to bat. With seasoned campaigner Jason Griffiths opening the attack it wasnt long before he had the visitors in trouble. With wickets falling at regular intervals the home side were firmly in the driving seat as Griffiths completed his 12 overs taking 6 wickets for 22 runs. Bowling from the other end teenager James Skeels bowled with precision as he impressively bowled 10 overs for 12 runs taking 3 wickets. Despite a brief display of resistance from M Beynon and an accomplished 37 from teenager K Marsh, the final Kilgetty wicket fell to Barry Dilworth as the home side bowled out the visitors for a gettable 94. In
recent weeks Lamphey have turned to youth to open the batting and with some
positive results there is evidence that they are begining to flourish and grow
in belief. With teenagers Gethin Llewellyn and Guisseppe TriMarco given the
responsibility, the pair advanced the score to 10 before Llewellyn was dismissed
for 10. Barry Dilworth playing his first game of the season played with
confidence and the home side progressed to 28 before he became victim number 2
out for 12. James Skeels in at 4 and with the score on 30 he was adjudged LBW
and out for 0. Jason Griffiths joined Guisseppe with the home side still needing
another 65 to win but any fears the Stags had were laid to rest as Guisseppe
played his finest ever innings in a great knock of 46 not out whilst being
supported all the way by Griffiths who finished on 16 no including a massive
straight 6 to lead Haydn Cole 3-1 in the most sixes competition. Star Man - Guisseppe TriMarco - An excellent match winning batting display from the youngster who will hopefully take this form forward. HUNDLETON v LAMPHEY II 17/5/08

Lamphey II (163 for 9) drew with Pembroke Dock II (148 for 8)
Lamphey
2nds were boosted by the return of several key players for
Saturdays trip to local rivals Pembroke Dock and returned
home with the lions share of the points after a closely fought match.
Batting first Lamphey were keen to put behind the disappointment of the 9 wicket defeat the previous week and things got off to a good start with the new opening partnership of Skeels senior and young Guisseppe TriMarco who had top scored in his last innings. Guisseppe had played with confidence throughout his innings which was epitomsed by his last scoring shot being a well struck 6, however maybe a lack of experience followed as he was then out without adding to the score. In at 3 was Gethin Llewellyn who made his way to 7 before becoming the next victim. With Skeels still at the crease he was joined by the talented Lewis Haines who whilst unable to play for the 1st XI slipped down into the seconds. With Skeels being the 3rd Lamphey player out for 26, Haines was joined in the middle by Jason Griffiths who with Haines punished the home sides bowling attack dispatching the bad ball with aplomb. Both Lewis and Jason made their way into the 30s with Lewis finally out for 35 being soon followed by Jason who top scored with a useful 39 which included 2 sixes. James Skeels in at 6 continued the good work by adding 18 along with Chris Forth who was out last ball for 10, at the end of the innings Lamphey had reached a very useful 163 for 9. With the cushion of a score in excess of 150 Lamphey knew they would do well to throw away a result and so it was proved with skipper Skeels slipping back into the old routine by claiming 5 for 47, along with one wicket a piece for James, Guisseppe and Graham 'pies' purser. In the field a mention must go out to James who took an excellent caught and bowled, almost taking the catch under the nose of the batsman as well as to Gethin who took two catch, one in particular which was pretty impressive and also to Geoff Daye who hadnt up until 2 years ago kept in his life but still managed to take an excellent full length catch. In amongst all this action the home side made a brave effort to overhaul the Lamphey total with useful knocks from L Murray (44), J Hartt (25) and J Coles 13 not out but just falling short at the final hudle. A very welcome winning draw for the Stags second string and if they can keep this side together for the majority of the season could well be up there challenging for promotion come August. Star Man - Andrew Skeels - a vital cog in the side and seems to have carried on from where he left off last season LAMPHEY v STACKPOLE

 Lamphey II (44 all out) lost to Stackpole II (45 for 1) by 9 wickets
With the home side only able to field 9 players - due to the Club amazingly having a whole XI unavailable- it was no surprise that the result of this game ended in defeat for Lamphey. Batting first Lamphey knew that with only 9 players they would need to post a respectable score if they were to present anything of a challenge. Things didnt get off to the best of starts when stand in skipper Tim Bourne was dismissed for 0. However with youngster Gethin Llewellyn being joined at the crease by fellow teenager Guisseppe TriMarco the pair steadily pushed up the run rate, testament to the fact that neither of them usually bat so high. With the score on 38 Llewellyn was dismissed for a personal best senior score of 16. This however acted as a catalyst and with Llewellyn gone TriMarco was then out for his personal senior best of 18. The experienced Kathryn 'buggy' James causing mass carnage as she finished with figures of 5 for 4 and Lamphey pressed the self destruct button going from 38 for 2 to 44 all out. With little to bowl at, the home side still made Stackpole work for the runs and some decent bowling from Chris Forth and Guisseppe TriMarco was rewarded when Graham 'Pies' Purser took the only wicket of the game as Stackpole reached their target with 9 wickets remaining. With the possibility of upto 6 players returning to strengthen the team next week the side will be confient of going to Pembroke Dock and getting a result. Star Man - well men, well boys really - Gethin Llewellyn & Guisseppe TriMarco - starting to fulfil their potential, the future looks promising. |
