Despite plenty of rain around the county, most of the first division games were completed. The wet weather recently meant batting first wasn't an easy task and put a fair bit of importance on winning the toss.  Neyland had a vital win, in what was a tough game against Lawrenny, their result was made even better by the fact Carew beat Cresselly. Carew themselves however are now hot on Neyland's heels and it's looking set to be a great title race. Meanwhile Haverfordwest and Whitland not finishing game does neither of them any favours as they look to be both in real trouble at the bottom of the table.

Cresselly (180-8) lost to Carew (182-4) by 6 wkts

We start our round up with the local derby in which Carew emerged victorious over Cresselly by 6 wickets. Cresselly posted a total of 180 for 8 which was a decent total considering they were 69-6.  Carew however chased their total with relative ease thanks to important contributions from Rhys Davies (61), James Hinchliffe (37 not out), and Jon Rogers (30). The Rooks bowling was led by Shaun Whitfield, who took 3 for 28, supported by Joel Read with 2 for 24, and veteran Barry Evans with 1 for 25. A big win for Carew over their local rivals who knew 180 would be tough to defend on one of the best batting tracks around.
