Mid Season Tables

You get a fair idea of where you’ll finish up come the mid-way point of the season and as it stands, Haverfordwest will most probably be crowned champions with Carew chasing them all the way.

Who would have thought that at the start of the season? The Town would have been in many people’s minds in terms of who could win the title with Neyland also firmly in people’s thoughts but Carew wouldn't have been.

This can be seen as being unkind for the county’s most decorated club having slipped off the radar last year when all eyes were on Neyland and the Town. This year they have climbed up the table like stealth as though they are on a secret mission to nip in for the championship on the final day of the season.

They may even get there sooner given they are only 13 points behind Haverfordwest while Neyland have slipped well down the ranks after a series of heavy defeats (and in the case of last weekend, a heavy  losing draw).

But, the season isn't over yet and it won’t be until the fattest of ladies sings so in the meantime let’s have a look at an alternative Division One table depending on the team with most runs, most wickets and those who have conceded the least runs and wickets.

Most runs first and Cresselly top the tree with Johnston in second place just 45 runs behind (not surprising when you have Steve Mills in your ranks, he’s hit three tons already this season and who would bet against him hitting more?).

As for most wickets well, Haverfordwest can lay claim to having the best bowling attack having taken 78 wickets so far, six ahead of Cresselly (aren't they meant to specialise batting?) while Haverfordwest also have the most miserly bowlers having conceded 165 runs fewer than Neyland.
As for the team who has lost the least amount of wickets then step forward Carew as you have only lost 33 compared to Haverfordwest’s 38.

Condolences to Stackpole cricket club after the tragic loss of Stalwart Peter Mackay in a traffic accident on Thursday night. I didn’t know Peter personally although I know his son Richard who is a fine cricketer in his own right for the Lillies.

As a mark of respect, all games involving Stackpole have been postponed this weekend.

Our thoughts are with them.

More than just a chip off the old block

Batting against Whitland recently - pic taken  from www.westerntelegraph.co.uk/sport With over 700 runs and 32 wickets to his name it's fair to say Tom Davies is having a season to be proud of. Topping the batting charts at the half way point and second place in the bowling, he's the county's premier all-rounder at this point in time and arguably the county's best cricketer which is no mean feat given the names making up the list of Pembrokeshire best batsmen and bowlers. They're all impressive players. Now, aged 27 and in his ninth season as a first team player at Carew he's playing at the peak of his powers, opening the batting and bowling of one of Pembrokeshire's most prestigious clubs and revelling in the chance to bat in one spot and making it his own. It was at the end of last season that he was asked to open the innings and it was a move that immediately paid off being not out in every game he played.  The form hasn't tailed off...

Bees and Ben

Ben Stokes . Pic from ECB webste This is Ben. Ben is Big Ben is Strong Ben plays cricket Ben is cool  He may be injured but Ben Stokes is quite possibly the most exciting cricketer in the world. He bats, he bowls, he takes ridiculous catches and according to Graeme Swan he’s as hard as nails. He’s everything every a young cricketer would want to be. The trouble of course is getting them to like cricket in the first place. With so many lifestyle choices vying for their attention a young person of today is spoilt for choice. According to a recent study, the majority of teenagers in 2016 place cricket 7 th in the list of what they would like to do in their spare time. Cricket however is fighting back and none more so than at Haverfordwest Cricket Club. I took my 13-year-old nephew to training there the other Friday and there were so many kids playing the game it was as though the field had an infestation of bees. They were swarming eve...

Top cut

Image
An industrious amateur groundsman from Somerset has ensured he remains a cut above the rest after designing and building his own range of cylinder mowers. Andrew Fox, of East Harptree Cricket Club, a small village around 15 miles south of Bristol, hit upon the idea after the supply of used Atco machines he sold after renovating started to run dry. The self-taught engineer, realising that many clubs could ill afford the higher end mowers that cost in the region of £4,500 - £7,000 started designing his own brand to satisfy demand from clubs that wanted a good quality product at a price they could afford. When his partner Louise took a job as an education advisor in Saudi Arabia, the 44-year-old businessman tinkered about in his garage and the 14 blade Fox Cylinder mower was born. “I’ve been renovating Atco mowers since the 80s,” said the self-confessed mower fantastic. “When I was 11 I took apart my father’s when he was at work one day and I’ve been working on them eve...
