A SUPERB century from Peter Bradshaw helped St Ishmaels to a stunning nine-wicket win over Llangwm on Saturday (May 4).

Bradshaw also claimed a wicket for Tish as he had Gary James caught by Williams on a score of 7.
James Venables finished not out on 42 with two fours and three sixes as he helped Llangwm post a challenging target.
However, Tish made light work of their target as Bradshaw and Harry Nicholas shared 122 runs for the first wicket.
Nicholas made 43 but he was then stumped by Will Beresford off the bowling of Callum Jenkins.
That was as good as it got for the visitors as Bradshaw and Tish’s third man steered their side to victory.
Tish’s third man hit eight fours and two sixes as he smashed 76 from 48 balls.
Bradshaw hit ten fours and a six as he finished not out on 106 to give Tish a 28-point win.
