Bluebirds lose out in Cardiff

Published

Cardiff Met 2
Haverfordwest County 0

Haverfordwest County FCTHE BLUEBIRDS missed the chance to go clear at the top of Division One of the Welsh League after they lost 2-0 to Cardiff Met. Elliot Scotcher opened the scoring for the home side with half an hour gone when he got on the end of a dangerous cross from the right hand side. Declan Carroll was brought on in the hope the Blues would turn the game around but it wasn’t to be as Scotcher netted a second when his free kick went through the Bluebirds wall.

The Bluebirds rallied late on but they had left themselves with too much to do and Cardiff Met claimed a comfortable win. The Bluebirds have no fixture on Saturday as their scheduled opponents Briton Ferry Llansawel are in cup action. Next up is a game against Airbus UK in the Welsh Cup on November 29.

Bluebirds: Craig Morris, Ricky Watts, Spencer Williams, Sam Rodon, Dale Griffiths, Sean Pemberton, Jack Britton, Chris O’Sullivan, Nicky Palmer, Jordan Follows, Luke Borelli. Subs: Steffan Davies, Declan Carroll, Greg Walters.

Hakin United stun Goodwick to reach Senior Cup semi-finals

Published

Goodwick United 0-3 Hakin United

HAKIN UNITED defied expectations with a dominant performance, defeating league leaders Goodwick United to book their place in the Senior Cup semi-finals. In front of a large crowd at Phoenix Park, Hakin struck twice in the opening 18 minutes before sealing victory with a late third goal.

Having suffered a 4-1 defeat at the same venue just two weeks earlier, Hakin arrived as underdogs. However, they executed a disciplined and clinical display, shutting down Goodwick’s attacking threats while proving ruthless in front of goal.

Early setback for Goodwick

The game started at a high tempo, but it was The Vikings who struck first. After 14 minutes, Ryan Wilson found Liam Parkes in space on the right, and his speculative strike caught out Goodwick goalkeeper Nick Jones, giving the visitors the lead.

Just four minutes later, Hakin doubled their advantage. Jordan Kilby burst through the Goodwick defence, and although his initial shot was blocked by Jones, the rebound fell kindly for him to slot into an empty net.

Goodwick struggle to respond

Goodwick were left frustrated when a strong penalty appeal was waved away in the first half, with referee Sion Jenkins well positioned to dismiss their claims. The home side enjoyed spells of possession but struggled to break down a well-organised Hakin defence, with Ben Aldred, Kieran King, Henry Mayhew, and Jake Merry all standing firm.

Their best opportunity to reduce the deficit came when Rhys Dalling created space in the box and unleashed a powerful left-footed shot, only for Hakin keeper Gareth Fawcett to produce an outstanding reflex save, preserving his side’s two-goal advantage.

Hakin seal the win

Goodwick pushed forward after the break, but Jack Britton and Shane Walsh’s control in midfield stifled their attacking play. Attempts to find space for Dalling, Will Haworth, and Johnny Horgan were quickly snuffed out, preventing the hosts from building any momentum.

Any hopes of a Goodwick comeback were extinguished in the 73rd minute when Britton found himself with the ball in the box after more good work from Wilson. His left-footed effort lacked power but was well placed, rolling inside the far post to secure a 3-0 victory for Hakin.

As Goodwick committed more players forward in search of a consolation, they left gaps at the back, and Parkes almost added a fourth, only for Jones to make the save.

Semi-final showdown

Hakin United now advance to an all-Division One semi-final against Pennar Robins, set to take place at Ogi Bridge Meadow Stadium in March. Manager Scott Davies will be eager to keep his squad focused after this statement victory, while Goodwick must regroup and turn their attention back to their league title pursuit.

Brunton treble sparks Pennar’s second-half blitz

Published

Pennar Robins 7 – Letterston 0

PENNAR ROBINS stormed into the semi-finals with an emphatic 7-0 victory over third-division Letterston, fuelled by a stunning second-half goal spree.

Although the first-division outfit dominated throughout, they led by just one goal at half-time thanks to Cameron Brunton’s composed 16th-minute strike. Letterston managed to hold firm initially, but their resistance quickly dissolved after the break as Pennar unleashed their attacking prowess.

Jamie Wilkes doubled Pennar’s lead on the hour mark, opening the floodgates. Brunton swiftly added his second goal just three minutes later, further demoralising the visitors. Sam Southcott netted the fourth to underline Pennar’s control before Brunton completed a well-deserved hat-trick in the 81st minute.

With Letterston visibly fading, Dan James took full advantage, netting twice in quick succession to seal a comprehensive victory.

Pennar now advance confidently into the semi-finals, while Letterston must reflect on a painful second-half collapse that ended their cup journey abruptly.
