In 1971 Carew had never won the coveted Harrison-Allen Bowl, but must have believed they were in with a real chance as they gained a 22 run lead at the half way mark. But then Watts began to exert an influence as he took 6 for 32 off 11 overs to limit Carew to 68 in their second innings and provide Neyland with a victory target of 94.
They started disastrously as first innings top scorer Ken Edwards went for a duck and captain Colin Davies soon followed to leave the team desperate at 5-2. But then 21 from John Laugharne and 39 not out from Stuart Watts settled the issue as Neyland reached their target and Watts was awarded the Man Of The Match trophy. He must have breathed a sigh of relief because early in the game he dropped a real 'dolly' off Peter Hall and watched in horror as the Carew clouter combined with Tony Scourfield in a partnership of 101 runs.
