HAKIN UNITED booked their place in the quarter finals of the West Wales Cup with a penalty shootout win over Pembrokeshire rivals Carew on Saturday (Feb 5).

It had looked as if the Vikings were going to seal the win in normal time but Adam Muskett’s late goal forced the game into extra time.

Both sides scored once more to make it 2-2 and the full time whistle meant the game would be settled by a shootout.

Alex Bayley missed his penalty for Carew before Ben Aldred smashed his spot kick into the net to give Hakin victory.

The Vikings started well and could have been three goals up early on but they saw chances go against the woodwork while Carew keeper Tom Davies also made a good save.

Hakin finally scored midway through the first half as Ben Aldred played the ball into the path of Shane Walsh who volleyed home from the edge of the box to make it 1-0.

The hosts had a couple of chances to score but Hakin held to on to their lead until half time.

The Vikings played against the wind in the second half but still had chances to score with Justin Harding and Ryan Wilson both going close.

With just over ten minutes to go, Jack Britton sent a shot goalwards but Sonny Phillips handled the ball over the bar and Hakin were awarded a penalty.

Walsh missed the resulting spot kick however and Carew were still in the game.

In time added on a Carew throw in was flicked on and Adam Muskett headed in to force the game into extra time.

Walsh then put Hakin back in the lead in the first period of extra time but Carew levelled again just two minutes later through Max Brindley.

Neither side could find a winner in the second period of extra time and penalties were needed to find the winner.

Shaun Whitfield scored for Carew but the Vikings’ Leon Luby missed his kick.

Joseph Williams then missed his spot kick for Carew and Camron Thomas scored his to level the shootout at 1-1.

Muskett (Carew), Gareth Fawcett (Hakin), Jordan Richards (Carew) and Ashley Bevan (Hakin) converted their penalties to take the score to 3-3.

Alex Bayley then missed his penalty before Ben Aldred smashed his penalty home to give Hakin victory.

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.
