Harries is batting ace

A SUPERB unbeaten century by opener Rhydian Harries enabled Llandysul to claim a 29-run win over visitors Maesteg Celtic and lift them into fourth in division one of the South Wales Cricket Association.

Having first use of a flat TirDref track, Llandysul went along merrily with classy former Ammanford star Harries dispatching the ball to all points of the compass and ending unbeaten on 116, an innings that included seven boundaries.

He was given great support by Gary Williams (52) as they shared an opening stand of 153 and Llandysul posted 234-4 in 50 overs to pick up 19 points.

Visiting opener Nick Poole was also in great form as he made 85 to hold the innings together before being caught by Ashley Cox off Ieuan Paske.

Ian Herbert contributed 33 as the innings closed on 205-8.

Llandysul Seconds lead division five after a three-wicket win at lowly Felinfoel Seconds.

The Llanelli side made 172-4 in 40 overs with Stuart Parmenter making 57. He was well supported by James Cranham who was unbeaten on 54.

The visitors reached the target in the 34th over to bank 17 points. Dafydd Jones made 40, Chris Jones 38 and Joseph Swift 31.
