Neyland 2
Goodwick United 0

NEYLAND moved up to fifth in the league with a 2-0 win over Goodwick United on Saturday afternoon. Neyland started the game well but Goodwick almost took the lead against the run of play. With twenty minutes gone, a superb through ball from Rob Morgans put Rhys Dalling clear but his effort beat the advancing Patrick Hannon but went wide of the right hand post. A minute later Neyland had another throw in 20 yards out. This was taken by Gary Power and the ball was returned to him and his cross eluded everyone and found the far corner of the Goodwick net.

Goodwick responded well when a shot from Morgans was diverted to Dalling but his first time shot was brilliantly pushed round the post by Hannon. He was at it again soon after when he kept out another Dalling shot. Moments later, Goodwick were awarded a free kick and Neyland’s Henry Durrant stood on the ball to prevent the free kick being taken. He was pushed out of the way by Wayne O’Sullivan and referee Tudor Walters felt that O’Sullivan was over aggressive and gave a red card. In the second half Neyland defended a lot deeper and their central defenders, Paul Hannon and Nick Koomen, denied Goodwick the space to release the dangerous Dalling.

They tried to hit Goodwick on the break but Llyr Tobin was outstanding in defence for the away team. With fifteen minutes left Dalling collected the ball 25 yards out and his fierce right footed shot beat Hannon but hit the crossbar and bounced back into play. Neyland cleared the ball down the other end to keeper James Gwilt who dribbled past two Neyland players advancing to the half way line. Unfortunately for Goodwick he lost possession and the ball came to Scott Jones who hit a tremendous shot from over 50 yards into the net.

This was a body blow to the 10 men who had worked so hard looking for an equaliser. Neyland saw out the remaining minutes without much alarm to claim an important win while defeat for Goodwick sees them drop to eighth. Neyland team: Patrick Hannon, Sean Hannon, Andrew Kemp, Paul Hannon, Nick Koomen, Scott Jones, Gary Power, Henry Durrant, Wayne Parry, Nathan Warlow, Mike Chandler. Subs: Gary Power, Leigh Power, Joe Charlton.

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.
