Bluebirds earn a point against Barry

HAVERFORDWEST County and Barry Town United played out a 1-1 draw at the Ogi Bridge Meadow on Tuesday night (Nov 9).

The Bluebirds came into the game on the back of a 6-0 thumping at the hands of TNS and manager Wayne Jones would have been looking for a reaction from his side.

Haverfordwest had Kyle Patten in their squad lining up against brother Robbie, playing for Barry.

There was an early chance for the home side as Jazz Richards played the ball through for Kieran Lewis who ran into the box before cutting the ball back but his cross was cleared.

On 13 minutes Kayne McLaggon sent a curling effort towards goal but Lee Idzi made a great save to tip the ball wide for a corner.

Alaric Jones was then shown a yellow card as he brought down McLaggon on the edge of the box, as they chased a looping ball. It gave Barry a free kick near the edge of the D but the free kick came to nothing.

Kyle Patten went down injured soon after and the Bluebirds played temporarily with ten men but he was ok to carry on.

With half an hour gone Touray Sisay won the ball in midfield and ran into the box but he was well tracked by Robbie Patten and Sisay’s weak shot was easily saved.

It remained goalless at the break and the Bluebirds would have been pleased to keep a clean sheet having been beaten well by TNS the previous weekend.

Early in the second half a long throw into the box caused panic and after a scramble the ball was poked in by Kyle Patten.

Shortly before the hour mark Rhys Kavanagh controlled the ball well in the box and shot towards goal but Idzi made a great save to keep the Bluebirds ahead.

Ten minutes later though Barry were level. Iori Humphreys gave a free kick away on the left hand side. The ball was fizzed into the box and after it looped up into the air, keeper Idzi only succeeded in punching the ball down to the feet of McLaggon who stabbed the ball in.

With thirteen minutes to go the Bluebirds had a good chance to score as Richards’ cross was left by SIsay for Wilson but the ball just got away from him and his shot was saved by the keeper.

Barry sub Marcus Day then turned well in the box but he sent his shot over the bar.

That was the last of the action as neither side were able to find a winning goal, with both settling for a share of the points.

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.
