GOODWICK UNITED eased past Milford United on Thursday night as they ran out 7-0 winners with Steffan Williams scoring a hat trick.

The league leaders started the game well and could have gone ahead inside the first minute when Adam Raymond launched an audacious attempt from 50 yards but his effort bounced back off the bar.

They took the lead with ten minutes gone when Steven Dockerty played the ball through for Rhys Dalling and he shot into the bottom right corner of the net.

Dalling nearly had a second six minutes later when he intercepted a quick free kick from Milford’s Chris Davies but Dalling sent his shot over the bar.

With half an hour gone it was 2-0 to the visitors as a free kick from Adam Raymond was headed into his own net by Milford’s Ashley Mathias.

Dalling came close again but his curling shot from the edge of the box bounced back off the bar.

Goodwick then made it 3-0 when Wayne O’Sullivan headed Adam Raymond’s corner back across goal and Steffan Williams headed the ball in.

Just two minutes into the second half Goodwick made it 4-0 when Adam Raymond fired an excellent shot into the net from 20 yards.

It was five on the hour mark as Rob Morgans won the ball back before shooting low into the bottom right corner past Milford keeper Andrew Fairbairn.

Fairbairn was then in action again as he did well to keep out substitute Patrick Hughes’ shot.

With twelve minutes to go Goodwick won a free kick 25 yards out and Steffan Williams curled the ball over the wall and into the net.

He completed his hat-trick just a minute later when Darren Devonald crossed into the box and he headed the ball down and in off the post.

Milford threatened a late consolation when an Ashley Mathias corner was sent in but William Goodall’s header was blocked.

Goodwick saw out the remaining minutes for an impressive win which keeps them five points clear at the top of the table.

On Saturday, April 16, they play away at Angle before midweek games against Herbrandston on Tuesday and title rivals Hakin United on Thursday.

Elsewhere on Thursday, Hakin’s Nicky Woodrow took his tally of goals in the league to 20 as he scored twice in Hakin’s 4-0 win over Herbrandston with Ashley Bevan and Adam Davies grabbing the other goals.

Merlins Bridge won 2-1 over Tenby at the Racecourse with Lee Hudgell and Matthew D’Ivry getting the goals.

It’s the time of the year again, Saturday see’s Bridge Meadow host the senior cup final. The sun has been shining and both teams will be dying to get on the pitch. This year the final will be contested by Goodwick United and Clarbeston Road.

League champions Goodwick will go into the final as favourites, and most around the county expect a Goodwick win. It has been an outstanding season for Goodwick however cup success has evaded them so far. Clarbeston Road have impressed everyone this season and really deserve their place in this years final.

Neill Crawshaw will referee the game, with Tudor Walters and Stefan Jenkins running the line.

There will be a unique contest on the pitch as brothers Will Haworth and Laurie Haworth come face to face on opposing teams. Adrian their father was a great player in the county, and played in many cup finals himself.

The stage is set, Clarby will feel less pressure than Goodwick and will be a threat with Haworth, John and Davies in attack. Meanwhile Goodwick are also blessed with quality players in every department, there is no weak link in O’Sullivans team. Cup football and finals in particular never go as people predict. On paper Goodwick are firm favourites, Clarbeston Road will be happy the game will be played on grass though and not paper, anything can happen! Hopefully it’ll be a good crowd down at the Meadow for the show piece of Pembrokeshire football.

Clarby stand in the way of Goodwick double

Two thrilling semi finals last weekend has meant Goodwick United and Clarbeston Road will meet in the senior cup final this coming Saturday.

Goodwick faced Pennar Robins in their semi final who pushed the champions very hard. Carl Vincent will be disappointed but proud of the Robins as they gave a great account of themselves. However in the end Goodwick’s quality and experience just was too much for Vincent’s team.

The other semi was an absolute thriller, and after a nail biting game Matthew Fox’ Clarby progressed to the final. A offside call has sparked a lot of debate around the county. However it seems that linesman Jenkins made an absolute perfect call so credit to him for that.

Both teams would have wanted a nice week of preparation for the final, maybe without any games to play. Unfortunately this hasn’t been possible due to the fixture backlog and both outfits have played already this week.

Goodwick will be favourites of course, however if anyone can upset the apple cart Saturday it’s this Clarbeston Road team. Fox’ outfit have impressed over and over this season. Without too much pressure on them, they are in a good place going into the final.

The double at one staged looked like the minimum Goodwick would be aiming for this season. However losses in other cup competitions, means its Senior Cup success or just the league title for the outstanding team of the season. Oddly becoming champions with no cup success maybe seen as a huge disappointment considering their dominance this season. A unique pressure. However if anyone can handle that pressure it’s O’Sullivans outfit.
