Bonymaen Colts 1

JOHNSTON are also through to the third round of the FAW Trophy after they thrashed Bonymaen Colts 7-1. Ryan Doyle opened the scoring after just nine minutes with a fine solo goal as he took the ball from the half way line and took on four players before shooting low into the corner.

The home side were playing some good football and with twenty minutes gone Osian Wynn crossed from the right and Doyle was in the right place to volley the ball into the roof of the net. Five minutes before halftime the Tigers made it 3-0 with another solo goal, this time from Adam Hawkins. He turned two players before firing a wicked shot to the right of the keeper.

Bonymaen were awarded a penalty two minutes later when Chris Phillips lunged at their striker and the referee pointed to the spot. However, Joel Codd saved brilliantly to his right to preserve his clean sheet. A minute later Hawkins met a right-wing cross from James Skudder to make it 4-0. The visitors were awarded another penalty fifteen minutes into the second half but Codd was again in fine form saving the spot kick. Manager Jamie Picton made a substitute on the hour mark, bringing on Andrew Murray for Osian Wynn and with his first touch he drove in a low shot to make it 5-0.

The Colts finally got themselves on the score sheet with a fine goal from the edge of the box which left Codd with no chance of making a save. That would only prove to be a consolation as Johnston scored their sixth goal when Luke Hayward curled in a lovely free kick from 25 yards. Andrew Murray completed the scoring a minute from the end with an excellent lob from 18 yards out to make it 7-1. The Tigers could have had more goals and they even saw two goals disallowed for offside. Jamie Picton was extremely happy with the result and described it as a great team performance

In the picturesque setting of Kilgetty, under the soft glow of the evening sun, local football fans were treated to an enticing clash between Kilgetty and Carew in the Pembrokeshire League Division 1. With the season winding down, both sides took to the pitch amidst numerous squad rotations, following a hectic week of multiple fixtures.

The match kicked off in a leisurely pace, resembling more of an end-of-season friendly than a fierce competition. Kilgetty seized the early initiative, with the trio of Josh Bevan, Richard Tebbut, and Richard Cope causing headaches for the Carew defense, skillfully led by Gareth Lewis. It was Jac Waters who broke the deadlock for the home side, putting Kilgetty ahead 1-0 as the first half came to a close.

However, Carew emerged revitalised after the break, with Jonty Bennett, James Hinchcliffe, and Zac Rowell putting in the hard yards to level the score. The introduction of Harvey Drummond for the ineffective Sam Christopher added further depth to Carew’s attacking prowess, culminating in an equaliser courtesy of the excellent Hinchcliffe.

As tensions rose, the game took on a newfound intensity, marked by needless bookings, after a clearly offside goal and a few heated moments on the field. Despite the fatigue evident from their recent fixture congestion, both teams showcased their competitive spirit, treating the fans to an entertaining second half.

In the end, neither side could break the deadlock, with Kilgetty and Carew having to settle for a well-fought 1-1 draw. While neither team was at their absolute best, the match provided a fitting conclusion to their respective seasons.

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.
