Defending champions Neyland face a strong challenge this year from Whitland for top spot in the Nick Evans (The Cricket Shop, Narberth) Indoor Cricket League.

For the second week on the bounce, Whitland retained their unbeaten record, with wins over Pembroke Dock and Haverfordwest B at the Meads Leisure Centre, Milford Haven.

Excellent and controlled batting by David Lee (39no), Paul Davies (22), Dan James (17) and David Dunfee (12) resulted in a Whitland total of 111-4.

The Pembroke Dock batsmen had no answer to the Whitland bowling and fielding and were bowled out for a meagre total of 13.

There were two run outs, David Lee picked up two wickets and there was a wicket each for Paul Davies and Daniel James.

More good bowling and fielding again restricted Haverfordwest B to a total of 96-4. The bulk of the runs came from Tim Moss with 34no and Karl Rhead who retired on 27.

David Lee and Daniel James both picked up two wickets and Whitland chased down the Harfat total to scored 102-2 to register another comfortable win, with Paul Davies retiring on 27 and all-rounder David Dunfee retiring on 26.

In the other game played, Haverfordwest B were bowled out by Pembroke Dock for a low total of 46.

James Morris top scored with 16, Mark Cross 13 and Tim Moss 12.

The Dock cruised to a total of 48-1, with Nick Daley 22no and Jake Davies 17.

There are no league matches this Sunday, January 30, because the Welsh Cricket Association Indoor Six a Side Cricket final will be held at the Meads Sports Centre, Milford Haven.

Neyland, as Pembrokeshire champions last season, will represent the county in the final and will compete against two teams with a big cricket pedigree in Ynysygerwyn and Radyr.

The final will start at 11.20 am

In the next round of the Pembrokeshire league on Sunday, February 6, Neyland will play the two Haverfordwest teams in what should be an interesting afternoon.
