AMMANFORD had to relinquish the opportunity for what could have been a crucial victory when rain forced the abandonment of their match against Neath at the Park.
Batting first, Ammanford were off to an excellent start with an opening century partnership between Kurtis Marsh and Rhodri-Huw Davies.
Marsh in particular was in bullish mood, stroking the ball regularly to the boundary and exhibiting the wide array of shots at his disposal.
When Davies was bowled for 26, his supporting role was carried on by the incoming Dan Roberts.
Marsh and Roberts put on a further 61 runs before Roberts was caught out for 28.
When the rain finally put an end to matters after 25 overs, Ammanford were on a commanding 162 for 2, of which Marsh had made a seriously impressive and unbeaten 98.
Despite the lack of a result, Ammanford’s assertive batting gained them a healthy ten points which moved them up to seventh place, 28 points clear of bottom club Clydach.
Next week, Ammanford travel to the capital where they take on Cardiff at the Diamond Field.
