PENNAR Robins survived a second half fight back from Saundersfoot Sports as they earned a 6-4 win on Saturday (Sept 1).

The win also keeps up their unbeaten start to the season with three wins from three games while striker Ben Adams doubled his goal tally for the season, taking his total to eight.

The Robins started the game well and could have gone ahead before they scored their first goal after five minutes. Josh Dearsley gave them the lead with a powerful header.

Saundersfoot equalised ten minutes later as Ewan Laidlaw found the back of the net.

The Robins then all but sealed the points with three goals in eight minutes to take the game away from their opponents.

The ball was played to Adams on the edge of the box and he found the top corner of the net to make it 2-1.

Tom Grimwood made it three just a minute later as a cross from the right found him on the penalty spot and he fired in.

Adams then scored his second as he headed in from Luke Phillips’ cross after some excellent build-up play.

The home side were not done there and with only half an hour on the clock they scored their fifth as the ball was played out from the back for Adams who fired another shot into the top corner to complete his hat trick.

Credit must go to Saundersfoot who did not give up despite the scoreline and just a minute into the second half they pulled a goal back as Ryan Howells’ shot was deflected in.

Adams then scored his fourth as his shot across the keeper from 20 yards out went into the bottom corner.

Saundersfoot kept battling and were on top for the last twenty minutes. Geoff Marsh pulled another goal back with a header while Richard Cope also scored to make it 6-4.

They piled on the pressure but referee Bernie Armstrong, who had a good game in the middle, brought the match to a close.

On Saturday (Sept 8), Pennar will look to keep their unbeaten run going when they take on St Clears away from home.

Saundersfoot will look to bounce back as they take on Herbrandston at home.

Elsewhere last Saturday, Carew earned a big win at home against Clarbeston Road and Merlins Bridge also won well away to Lamphey.

Hakin were another side to maintain their unbeaten start as they beat Narberth 2-0. Goodwick United earned a 4-2 win away to St Clears and Neyland earned a draw with Herbrandston. Monkton Swifts also won 5-1 away to Milford United

Cwmamman United stun Tenby AFC in an unforgettable 3-3 thriller to reach the last sixteen of the West Wales Intermediate Cup

Cwmamman Utd 3 Tenby AFC 3 (Cwm win 3–2 on pens)

AN EXTRAORDINARY cup tie unfolded at Grenig Park as Cwmamman United and Tenby AFC shared a breathless 3-3 draw, before the hosts edged through 3–2 on penalties.

Tenby struck almost instantly, with Lloyd Hughes finding the net inside the opening minute. Cwm hit back on 14 minutes when Cam Isaac produced a superb finish to level the tie, but Joe Leahy restored Tenby’s lead before the break – a goal that for long spells looked like it might settle the contest.

Deep into stoppage time, however, Cwmamman refused to accept defeat. In the 100th minute, Jackson Brereton pounced to smash home an equaliser and force extra time.

The drama only intensified. Tenby were awarded a hotly disputed penalty in the 114th minute, converted confidently by Hughes. The spot-kick also saw Cwm’s Kieran Rees – who had been excellent alongside Kai O’Donnell at the heart of the defence – shown a red card.

But with virtually the last kick of the game, Cwm’s goalkeeper Kai Rees strode forward for a final desperate attack and unleashed a stunning 25-yard volley to make it 3-3, sparking wild celebrations around the ground.

Rees was far from finished. In the decisive shootout, he produced two superb saves to secure a 3–2 penalty win and send Cwmamman United into the last sixteen of the West Wales Intermediate Cup.
