ST ISHMAELS secured their first win of the season on Saturday (May 7) as they beat Haverfordwest by seven wickets.
Tish won the toss and elected to field and that proved to be a good decision as they bowled Town out for just 127.
They lost Ben Field to the twelfth ball of the innings as he was bowled by Jonathan Pawlett. He also trapped Jake Merry leg before on a score of 12 to leave Town on 25-2.
Dan Potter and Dai Davies shared 49 runs for the third wicket as they looked to build a strong partnership.
However, Andrew Pawlett trapped Davies leg before on a score of 19 and wickets then continued to fall at regular intervals.
Potter had hit seven fours and two sixes in his score of 47 but he was also trapped leg before by Andrew Palmer.
Dan Field was bowled by Lewis Rhead who also had Jack Scriven caught by Peter Bradshaw, both batsmen falling on scores of 9.
Chris Phillips added 17 for Town but he was bowled by Andrew Pawlett and he also trapped Ashley James leg before for his third wicket.
Pawlett then claimed his fourth as he bowled William Phillips and he went on to finish with excellent figures of 4-10 from his nine overs.
Rhead then claimed his third wicket as he had Clive Tucker caught by Phil Cockburn. Rhead also finished with good figures of 3-21 from 6.3 overs.
That meant that Tish needed 128 to win and they made a steady start to their reply with Rhead and Andrew Palmer sharing 32 runs for the first wicket.
Rhead hit a six in his score of 7 but he fell to the bowling of Jonny White after being caught by Jack Scriven.
Palmer hit six fours in his score of 28 but he was then trapped leg before by Clive Tucker.
Phil Cockburn and Kevin Bowen then shared 29 runs for the third wicket as they continued to near their target.
Jake Merry brought that partnership to an end as he trapped Cockburn leg before on a score of 21 (five fours).
That was as good as it got for Town though as Bowen and Brennan Devonald saw Tish to victory.
Bowen hit five fours as he finished not out on 35 while Devonald hit four fours and a six to win the game as he finished unbeaten on 23.
