This is South Wales --

NEATH continue to head division one of the Thomas Carroll Insurance South Wales Association despite drawing with fourth-placed Ynystawe on Saturday.

The leaders finished on 174-4 from their allocated overs, while their opponents ended on 125 for the loss of the same number of wickets.

That result leaves Neath 20 points clear at the summit during a season in which they are yet to lose a game.

Carmarthen Wanderers are another unbeaten side, and they sit second after beating Cowbridge by 94 runs.

Batting first, Wanderers finished on 166 following an innings in which Daniel Jones hit 44, while Giles Thomas and Owain Davies both managed 38. Carmarthen eventually reached their total for the loss of seven wickets.

Cowbridge never came close to hitting their target as only one of their batsmen managed double figures — Sam Wood made 45.

They were eventually all out for just 72.

Daniel Jones took three of the visitors' wickets at the expense of only three runs, Leighton Walters claimed two, along with Ian Marsh and Owain Binding.

Tata Steel's 100-run win over Clydach keeps them in third.

Owen Davies contributed a hefty 93 as Tata finished on 204-7. Phillip Taylor hit 55, while the rest of the Tata order struggled to match the efforts of their openers.

The home side were in charge from the off and reached 138 before their first wicket fell. The man to go was Taylor, caught by Christopher Donne off the bowling of Brian Fisher.

Tata lost two more wickets while adding only another 31 runs to their total.

Donne was Clydach's most successful bowler, he took four wickets from eight overs, conceding 36 runs.

Fisher accounted for the other three wickets at a cost of 63 runs from 12 overs.

Fifth-placed Gowerton were held to a draw by visiting Dafen Welfare.

The hosts made 204-8 from their 45 overs and appeared a good bet for victory.

But they were unable to bowl out their stubborn opponents, who ended on 86-6.

Llangennech slipped to a 47-run defeat at Maesteg Celtic.

Batting first, Maesteg made 167-4 before Llangennech were all out for just 120.

That game was a basement battle between the division's bottom two sides and keeps Llangennech rooted to the foot of the table, a point adrift of Maesteg Celtic.

Clydach are a place above them, one rung behind Dafen. Reported by This is 10 hours ago.
