REIGNING South Wales Premier League champions Sully came to Abergavenny determined to avenge their defeat at Avenue Road last year and claimed a comfortable 84-run victory. The home side, already without opening batsman Ally Fury spinner James Didcott through injuries, were furthur weakened due to the unavailability of off spinner Jon Newell. An added interest to the game was the inclusion, one per side, of Glamorgan players Mark Wallace and Andrew Davies, who had played the previous evening against Hampshire. Sully won the toss and batted first, with Ryan Sylvester playing his first official league game of the season due to suspension. He immediately showed why he scored over 1,000 runs in the league last season by scoring ten runs in Gavin Heritage's first over. The opening partnership continued to prosper until the introduction of Kyle Holmes, who made full use of the overcast conditions. He was rewarded when Glamorgan keeper Wallace made a smart legside stumping off a wide ball to remove Sylvester for 44. His brother, Sully captain Jamie, was well caught at backward square leg by John Phillips off Holmes who also claimed another scalp when Heritage caught O'Shea. Keith Newell proved as miserly as Holmes but when their allocation ended the absence of the two main spinners meant that Abergavenny were unable to control the game and the next partnership added 128 before being broken with the final ball of the innings. Set to score 237 to win Abergavenny quickly lost Steve Brown, beaten by the speed of Glamorgan opening bowler Andrew Davies. But Phillips and Wallace added 50 runs and were looking comfortable when Wallace was beaten by a ball which nipped back, and Phillips was caught at extra cover two balls later. The middle order stagnated and only James Schofield seemed secure. Abergavenny lost their final two wickets in the 50th over to lose convincly and continue their early season slump. l ABERGAVENNY Beavers produced an excellent performance to beat Crumlin by six wickets at home. Captain John Lamont lost the toss and Aber were asked to bowl first. Crumlin had reached 24 before 14 year old John Denning claimed the first wicket. He took a further wicket in his next over and there was also a superb run out by Will Morris with Suresh taking the bails off. Jonathan Johns chipped in with a wicket quickly followed by Suresh with both being bowled. Spinner Corey Thomas took two wickets and Owain Bradley cleared the tail up. The visitors had reached 113 all out with more than 13 overs remaining. Huw Pritchard and Will Morris opened the batting for Aber but Morris was out for six in the third over. Thomas was also out for nine and wicketkeeper Ryan Jones for a duck. Gwyn Pritchard arrived at the crease with the score on 20 for 3. Both Pritchards found the gaps well and were well above the scoring rate. Gwyn was out for 45 off 52 balls hitting five fours in the process. Bradley arrived at the crease needing 23 runs to win. He hit 15 not out and H Pritchard 24 not out as Abergavenny won by six wickets. Next week Aber are home at Llanvapley against Blaina.
