Victory at Bridgend in Low Scoring Match

The 1st XI defeated Bridgend in a very low scoring encounter and maintained their place at the top of the table.

The home side batted first and found the going tough on a damp track, which gave the bowling attack all the help they needed.  The bowlers were always on top and Jamie Sylvester picked up 4 for 25, with Andrew Davies taking 3 for 19.  Tom Evison, Terry Williams and Lloyd Smith also picked up a wicket each as Bridgend were skittled out for just 81

But Centurions didn't have it all their own way - former Sully man and Glamorgan player Mike O'Shea took all 6 wickets as Centurions struggled with the conditions, but the target was eventually reached.  (Ryan Sylvester top scored with 19)

This defeat relegates Bridgend, but Centurions still have that title in their sights.

Bridgend 81 all out  Sully 82/6

Slip Up at Panteg - But We Get Away With it!

The 1st XI slumped to a 9 wicket defeat at Panteg, but thanks to some good fortune (Sudbrook and St Fagans also lost) remain well clear at the top of the Premier League.

Batting first and with a much weakened side, due to various unavailabilities, Centurions kept losing wickets.  Lloyd Smith and Andrew Davies both pitched in with well-deserved half centuries, butthe innings came to a close on 162 all out - just two batting points earned.

The home side (with Bird 87 not out and Harrison 62 not out) reached the target for the loss of only one wicket.

Big Win Seals Comeback

The 1st XI entertained Croesyceiliog at Burnham Avenue and ran out worthy winners.  Batting first, Centurions lost Jamie Sylvester for only 1, but then proceeded to pile on the runs. A splendid 88 from James Langworth, who is now showing some really vintage form, and 61 from Ryan Sylvester were the highlights of the innings.  The innings closed on 240 for 9.

The visitors were never comfortable chasing this total and a five wicket haul from Tom Evison meant that they were always going to struggle.  Lloyd Smith added to his knock of 20 by doing his bit with the ball and posting bowling figures of 2 for 43. 

The Croesyceiliog inning ened on 132 all out, giving a 108 run victory to Centurions.  With two straight victories under the belt, it would seem that the mid season wobble is now well and truly over and the champions are back with a vengeance!

The 1st XI found their winning touch again in this low scoring match at Newport.

The home side batted first and found the going tough as the Centurions' bowlers took a firm grip on the proceedings.  Andrew Davies' 3 for 14 was the pick of the bowling, supported ably by the evergreen Terry Williams (2/19) and Tom Evison (2/23).

Only Cleeve, with 31, and Harris (30) offered any real resistence as Newport were restricted to 139/9 at the end of their overs.   

The Centurions' openers also found it wasn't the easiest of days for batting and were soon in troble with the loss of two early wickets - both Sylvester brothers back in the pavilion with the score on 22. 

Lloyd Smith top scored with 32 and in spite of some later scares an unbeaten 22 from Diver helped secure victory for the loss of 6 wickets.

Newport 139/9  Sully 143/6
