Herald Sport Update – West Wales Cup Preview
Last seasons beaten finalists Hakin United will be looking to go one better this season, this weekend they host Plough Colts, who play their football in the Swansea Premier Division. Plough currently sit 10th in their league and Hakin will be looking to end a three game winless streak. They will however take confidence from spirit showed to grab a last minute equaliser last weekend against Merlins Bridge.
Meanwhile in Goodwick, the table toppers will host Cwm Wanderers who play in the Macron West Wales Premier League. A division where the standard is of a good level, however Goodwick will fear no team at the minute and Cwm Wanderers are closer to the bottom of their league than the top, with only four wins out of eleven. No doubt Chris O’Sullivan’s team will be up for the challenge and look to go into the next round of yet another competition.
Elsewhere in the West Wales Cup second round, Neyland host West End FC who play in the same division as Cwm Wanderers. Monkton Swifts host AFC Glais, and the Swifts will be targeting a comfortable win with the visitors pointless so far in their league campaign.
Johnston host Pwll Atheltic from the Carmarthenshire first division, and will be looking to build on their point away to Hakin reserves last week. Also with home advantage in the cup are Carew who host Bryn Rovers, Camrose who host Bonymaen, Kilgetty welcome Birchgrove Colts while finally Matthew Fox’s Clarbeston Road host Penclawdd.
Steve Parkes’ Milford United team travel to Ferryside, while St Ishmaels are on the also on road and face Brynawel FC. Fishguard Sports, Tenby United and Pennar Robins are also in West Wales Cup action on the road.
However with weather warnings in place and pitches already wet, it maybe a weekend of some cancellations, fingers crossed we get a full programme.

Bluebirds’ European Journey Continues in Season Four of You Can Have It All
Club documentary series returns to document Haverfordwest County’s historic UEFA Conference League campaign
HAVERFORDWEST COUNTY has confirmed the return of their club documentary series, You Can Have It All (YCHIA), later this month, showcasing the thrilling journey of last summer’s European adventure.
YCHIA first began filming in 2021, with Season One covering a rollercoaster 2021-22 campaign for the Bluebirds. The season ended with a dramatic top-flight survival, following a challenging period. Season Two shifted focus to the 2022-23 season, which saw the club qualify for Europe for the first time since 2004. The Bluebirds’ stunning play-off victory, which included back-to-back penalty shoot-out wins against Cardiff Met and Newtown, marked manager Tony Pennock’s first season in charge as a major success.
The excitement intensified as the series continued to cover their historic European campaign, which began with a trip to North Macedonia to face KF Shkëndija. Returning to Cardiff City Stadium for the second leg, the Bluebirds made club history by winning their first-ever European tie on penalties. The drama then took them to the Faroe Islands to face B36 Tórshavn, where they were controversially edged out by a single goal in the return leg.
Now, with further continental success under their belts, YCHIA returns for its fourth season, documenting last summer’s European adventure. This season follows Haverfordwest County’s journey through the qualifying rounds of the newly rebranded UEFA Conference League (UECL).
Providing exclusive behind-the-scenes access, the series tracks the Bluebirds’ travels to Malta for the first leg of their UECL first qualifying round tie against Floriana, and the return leg at Parc y Scarlets in Llanelli a week later. The season also covers the build-up to the competition, including a visit to Geneva for the UEFA draw and a match against reigning Northern Ireland champions Linfield at Windsor Park, the national stadium.
Season Four will be released in three episodes on December 18, December 23, and January 2. You can watch You Can Have It All on Haverfordwest County’s YouTube channel by following this link. The club will also share highlights and snippets of the documentary across their social media platforms, so be sure to follow them on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter)!
