Carew claim Alec Colley Cup after beating Pembroke Dock in final

CAREW won the Alec Colley Cup final on Sunday (Aug 14) as they beat Pembroke Dock by 138 runs.

The final was played in Pembroke in the hot weather and a good crowd gathered to cheer on both teams.

Carew, who won the competition in 2020, won the toss and chose to bat and they made a good score of 187-3 from their first 20 overs.

Scott Richards and Nick Scourfield made a good start for Carew as they shared 105 runs for the first wicket.

Scourfield hit four fours in his score of 36 but he was then caught by Adam Phillips off the bowling of Anton John.

Richards and Morgan Grieve added another 40 runs for the second wicket. Richards had hit 13 fours in his score of 78 from 58 balls but he was then caught by George Smith off the bowling of Owen Hughes.

Grieve was joined by Gareth Lewis and the pair added another 29 runs for the third wicket.

Grieve smashed six fours and three sixes in his score of 49 from 31 balls but he was caught by Camran Robinson off the bowling of Rob Hearn.

Dai Rees hit a late four for the Dock to push the score on and to give Carew a good start.

In reply, Anton John and Adam Phillips shared 54 runs for the first wicket. John hit two fours in his score of 20 before he was caught by Morgan Grieve off the bowling of Kerry Waters.

Phillips hit four fours in his score of 25 but he fell soon after when he was stumped by Grieve off the bowling of Barry Evans.

The same two combined again to remove Peter Kingdom as the Dock slipped to 65-3.

George Smith and Rob Hearn added another 18 runs for the fourth wicket but Evans and Grieve again combined to remove Smith on a score of 21.

Hearn and Bowyn Clark added 23 runs for the fifth wicket as they looked to push the score on in the final couple of overs.

Hearn scored 15 but he was then caught by Dai Rees off the bowling of Max Brindley.

In the last over Jacob Knox bowled Owen Hughes as the Dock recorded a total of 111-6 from their 20 overs.

That gave Carew a commanding 76-run lead at the interval.

Scott Richards and Nick Scourfield shared 39 runs for the first wicket of their second innings as they took their lead past 100 runs.

The Dock’s Anton John made the breakthrough as he had Scourfield caught by Alfie Brown on a score of 12.

Soon after George Smith bowled Richards on a score of 20 to leave Carew on 43-2.

Morgan Grieve and Gareth Lewis then shared another 140 runs as they continued to pile the runs on.

Grieve hit seven fours and three sixes in his score of 65 from 44 balls while Lewis hit nine fours as he finished unbeaten on 68 from 41 balls.

It saw Carew finish on 183-2 and it meant the Dock would need an unlikely 260 to win the game.

Max Brindley then bowled Anton John with the first ball. George Smith hit five fours in a score of 23 but he was then trapped leg before by Brindley.

Adam Phillips and Peter Kingdom then shared 81 runs for the third wicket. Phillips hit three fours in his score of 49 but he was then caught by Morgan Grieve off the bowling of Brindley.

Brindley then also bowled Rob Hearn for a second ball duck to leave the Dock on 105-4.

Kingdom hit four fours in his score of 36 but he was then caught by Jacob Knox off the bowling of Rhys Grigg.

Bowyn Clark and Owen Hughes finished unbeaten as they batted out their overs, the Dock finishing on 121-5.

It meant that Carew had once again won the Alec Colley Cup and afterwards, Carew’s Morgan Grieve was named man of the match.
