Batting first the hosts posted a formidable total of 262 for six from their allotted 45 overs, with notable contributions from their top order batsmen. Morgan Grieve continued his rich vein of form, making 62, while the experienced Tim Hicks top-scored with a typically classy 72.

For Narberth, Matthew Johns was the standout bowler, finishing with impressive figures of 2 for 34. Louis Davis, Harry Phillips, and Davey Johns each claimed a wicket, but it wasn't enough to stem the flow of runs from the hosts batsmen.

Louis Davis top-scored with 22, while Shay Norcross and Kyle Quartermaine managed 17 and 11 respectively.

Veteran Barry Evans complemented Waters' efforts with his crafty slow stuff, taking 3 for 27. Joel Reid also contributed significantly, picking up two for 15.

This emphatic win cements Carew's position in second place, trailing league leaders Neyland. Meanwhile, Narberth's defeat leaves them at the bottom of the table with 88 points, in danger of falling further behind. If they are to avoid relegation, a swift turnaround in form is needed very soon.
