Pennar Robins 2-1 Neyland

Carl Vincent’s team took another step in the right direction and showed why they are in mid table rather than in the bottom few places in the table. Goals from Willis and Williams, ensured the three points for the hosts. With skipper Connor Roberts and Ross Jones impressive again for the Robins. Josh Watts was on the score sheet for the visitors but it wasn’t enough, and Neyland will now be looking nervously over their shoulder.

Goodwick United 4-0 Tenby

Goodwick bounced back from their only defeat of the season to win convincingly 4-0 when they hosted Tenby at Phoenix Park. A brace for Jones as well as a goal a piece from James and Dalling ensured Goodwick took full advantage of Hakin’s loss. The hosts reclaim top spot and it seems they will be very hard to displace. However they have lost a key player in the form of Matty Delaney who has re joined Carmarthen Town. For the visitors they won’t have been expecting much from this fixture. They will however be disappointed to lose skipper Dan Storer to suspension following his red card in this clash. He will miss next weeks crucial local derby for the Seasiders away to Kilgetty.

Monkton Swifts 4-0 Milford United

The Swifts begun 2024 with a performance that was lacking for the back end of 2023. A convincing win against a good Milford United outfit, which will be a relief for coaches Lewis and James. Key player Ben Steele was on the scoresheet, as well as Chris Richards, Dylan Davies and Connor Brunton. Swifts will take confidence from this as they prepare for a huge local derby next weekend as they face Pennar Robins. Steve Parks will be hoping this is just an uncharacteristic blip in what’s been a great season to date.

Fishguard Sports 0-1 Merlins Bridge

A single goal from visitors substitute Tom Jago, was enough to secure the points for Bridge. Fishguard once again putting in a solid performance but narrowly losing will add to the frustration for manager Phil Jones. Solid performances need to turn into points sooner rather than later for bottom of the table Fishguard. For Kennedy’s Bridge team it keeps the pressure on second place Hakin United and means Bridge are still unbeaten since October.

Carew 3-1 Kilgetty

Marcus Griffiths was the star of the show at the Gerald Hicks Memorial ground. His hat-rick ensured a vital three points for the rooks. There was a late red card for Sam Christopher as we saw a return of big brother Jack who was introduced as a substitute. Kilgettys late consolation goal through, Adam Johns came too late to worry the hosts. The win puts Carew above Kigetty as they drop into the relegation zone ahead of their local derby with Tenby next week.

Hakin United 1-4 Clarbeston Road

Our feature game this week, see our full match report online. A fantastic win for the visitors as Matthew Fox’s team once again impress, as Hakin lose top spot and a title challenge now seems a steep hill to climb for Justin Hardings men.

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.
