GOODWICK United eased to a 6-0 win over Neyland on Saturday (Feb 25) as they maintained their place at the top of the Division 1 table.

The league leaders have not lost a league game since losing to Merlins Bridge in November and they dominated early on against their opponents.

Rhys Jones crossed into the box for Rhys Dalling but he saw his shot blocked.

Another ball into the box caused problems as it bounced awkwardly, into the path of Dan James but his effort was saved by Neyland keeper Patrick Hannon.

With 11 minutes on the clock, the visitors took the lead. Dalling saw a shot blocked but the ball fell to Will Haworth who shot low into the net from the edge of the box.

Ten minutes later it was two as James played the ball into Dalling who lofted a shot back across goal and into the net.

It was 3-0 soon after as James’ corner was flicked on before Scott Delaney poked the ball home.

The visitors continued to look for more goals with Will Haworth setting up James but he shot over.

Ten minutes before the break, Goodwick made it four as a loose back pass allowed James to win the ball and he curled an excellent shot into the bottom right corner of the net.

On the stroke of half time they added a fifth as a ball into the box wasn’t cleared and Dalling fired in his second goal of the game.

In injury time, Neyland won a free kick on half way which keeper Patrick Hannon came out to take. Goodwick cleared the ball up to Dalling as Hannon retreated. Dalling tried to go round but Hannon did well to dive down and prevent another goal.

In the second half, the home side had a couple of forays into the Goodwick half with a few balls over the top but the visitors were able to deal with the pressure.

Neyland then earned a free kick in the 67th minute but Goodwick keeper James Gwilt caught the ball. He then fired the ball upfield for Dan James who fired in to make it 6-0.

Sub Adam Hawkins saw a shot hit the post late on before there was a late chance for Neyland to get on the scoresheet.

A long throw from Mike Chandler fell to Fletcher Picton but his acrobatic effort went over the bar.

That was the last of the action as Goodwick secured their fourteenth win of the season. The win moves them six points clear of second placed Merlins Bridge.

Neyland remain in eighth place but sit seven points above the bottom two.

On Saturday, March 4, Goodwick host Kilgetty while Neyland travel to Clarbeston Road.

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.
