2024 Ladies' Cricket - Week Eight - 17th July
Division One:
Pembroke 66 for 2 (4) lost to Hook 67 for 3 (14) by 7 wickets
Hook maintained their 100% record at Treleet as they comfortably defeated a Pembroke team which won the toss and batted before the visitors reached their target for the loss of only three wickets and as a result stand a single point behind Burton but having played a game fewer.
Jodie Lewis and Bobby Neale are Pembroke’s most consistent performers and again proved their worth as Jodie retired on the maximum score and Bobby gave support with bat and ball.
But it was to no avail as Emilia Wilson returned to action and claimed 1 for 2 from her four overs and had two maidens as she only conceded two singles in 24 balls, with Tia Rees also bowling well before Kate Farr set Hook on the right road with her undefeated knock and Tia Rees saw them home!
Pembroke Batting: Jodie Lewis 25no, Bobby Neale 16no
Hook Bowling: Emilia Wilson 1-2, Tia Rees 1-14
Hook Batting: Kate Farr 26no, Tia Rees13no,
Pembroke Bowling: Jodie Lewis 1-20, Bobby Neale 1-17

Division Two:
Pembroke Dock 72 for 9 (4) lost to St Ishmaels 73 for 3 (17) by 7 wickets
St Ishmaels put home advantage to good use after Pembroke Dock won the toss and batted but were unable to reach a very challenging score as Tish bowled and fielded well to maintain their third place, whilst The Dock stay in top spot despite losing their second game of the season.
Katie Griffiths (17) was the pick of The Dock batters but four of the Tish bowlers took wickets, with a brace apiece for Gwen Davies and Tracey Chandra.
Tish’s response was led by Linzi Picton and Jo Bradshaw - and although Kate Griffiths and Carys Lloyd bowled well for the visitors they went down - and are now just a single point ahead of Whitland, who have played a game fewer.
**The issue of who will be Division Two Champions for 2024 will now be decided at Pembroke Dock next Tuesday evening (23rd July) when Whitland will be the visitors to Imble Lane!**

Carew 148 for 2 (17) beat Saundersfoot 111 for 5 (6) by 37 runs
Carew produced arguably their best performance of the campaign so far at Saundersfoot after the home team asked them to bat first and The Lady Rooks built a huge target that The Seasiders were unable to match.
Leading the charge for Carew were Jess Griffiths, Kirsty Waygood and Kristin Jordan, who all reached the retirement total, with Jacqueline Goodwin also batting well despite the bowling efforts of Katy Joseph for the homesters.
Rachel Vickery and Madi Neye were the principal run-makers for Saundersfoot, but Nia Simes and Lily Buckle bowled well for Carew, supported by some very good work in the field by the rest of the team.
Carew Batting: Jess Griffiths 26no, Kirsty Waygood 25no, Kristin Jordan 25no, Jacqueline Goodwin 20
Saundersfoot Bowling: Katie Joseph 1-20
Saundersfoot Batting: Rachelle Vickery 25no, Madi Neye 15

Whitland 114 for 3 (18) beat Kilgetty 80 for 6 (5) by 34 runs
Whitland confirmed their right to be considered promotion candidates as their comfortable win at home to Kilgetty took them very close to the head of the table, and their major points haul came after they were put in to bat and had key run-gatherers Angharad Jenkins and Lani Hogben to the fore as both batted with their usual conviction and reached the retirement score.
Phoebe Pearson and Lewis Hughs were the pick of the Kilgetty bowlers and they had a very useful undefeated innings from Chloe Bland in their response but tight bowling from Fflur Davies, Tabitha Davies and Sally Windsor made sure that Kilgetty were always behind the clock as they remain in bottom place but continue to show the strides they are making in all areas of their game.
Whitland Batting: Angharad Jenkins 25no, Lani Hogben 26no
Kilgetty Bowling: Phoebe Pearson 2-24, Lewis Hughes 1-17
Kilgetty Batting: Chloe Bland 22no
Whitland Bowling: Fflur Davies 2-14, Tabitha Davies 1-15, Sally Windsor 1-11
Umpires: Keith Hogben & Micky Marsh
Scorer: Colin John (Whitland)
