Cimla remain in pole position


Leaders Cimla remain in pole position at the head of Division Four of the Thomas Carroll South Wales Cricket Association thanks to an emphatic 90 run victory over Baglan.
The pacemakers batted first and set a total of 230-8, Martin Rees top scored knocking a fabulous 79, while Arun Rengaswamy struck 36 and Chris Stevens contributed a solid 31. Lee Williams was the best with the ball claiming 4-42 while Andrew Roache picked up 3-40.
Baglan in reply fell well short of the target and were dismissed for 140 in the 39th over with Steve Wayne Jones the hero with the ball for the Neath side bagging 4-22, while Wayne Thomas captured 2-33.
It remains tight as ever at the summit, however, after second placed Dyffryn also clinched a convincing win, destroying Llandarcy by nine wickets.
Llandarcy were skittled for just 104 with Adrian Thornhill and Joseph Evans each picking up three wickets, while Lewis Day claimed 2-16.
Dyffryn in reply easily chased down the runs required 107-1, with opener Rhodri Morgan knocking a half century (55) and Evans finishing unbeaten on 28.
There is just six points separating the top two sides in the league with only two matches remaining.
Meanwhile, Llantwit Major Cavaliers bagged the most resounding win of the day, annihilating Kidwelly by 214 runs.
The Cavaliers set a huge target of 281-2D thanks to some scintillating batting from Lewis Collins (73), Julian Griffiths (100) and an unbeaten 64 from captain fantastic, James Snelson.
Kidwelly in reply had no answers and were skittled for just 67, the only highlight with the bat from the West Walians being a meagre 16 from Dan Brown. Gareth Hughes' bowling will take the plaudits after he captured 4-4, while Sam Pickford and Adrian Ashton claimed a brace apiece.
Elsewhere, Ystradgynlais were battered by Llandelio going down by 135 runs, and Felinfoel claimed a winning draw at Neath 3rds.
