Sunday’s match at Bierspool Ground.

WITH the Christmas and New Year festivities over, Pembroke Dock Harlequins U16’s entertained the friendly crowd with some powerful running rugby, and opened the score with a well worked try for pacey winger Ieuan Jenkins via a cross kick taken out wide. The Quins’ forwards powered on with dominance, and The Quins’ backs let loose with a powerful and commanding display by the beefy centre partnership of Arron Boswell and Hywel Baker.

Young Boswell was spurred on by the vocal support from his Granddad and rugby legend, Ossie Boswell, who was pleased to see the family tradition of only forwards being finally broken! Pembroke rallied well and pressed The Quins’ defence at times, and after a reshuffle in teams they finally crossed the line to score. The Quins were soon back on the attack, and Josh Watters (number 8) picked up at the base and made a surging touchline sprint that even the great George North would have been proud of, before diving over to score in the corner.

New signing, Gareth ‘Sparky’ James looked sharp under the high ball and attacked well on the wing, coming close to scoring in the corner. It was great to see two local sides all looking to play good running Rugby throughout with the Quins always in control. The Quins’ line out and scrum dominated throughout and allowed the coaches to move some of the players about and try out some new combinations. Pembroke never gave up and made some great yards through determined pick and go forward play, but a stout Quins defence kept them at bay.

The match referee was Mr Charley Watts, who officiated the game in good free-flowing spirit. The Quins forwards: Tom Watson, Tom Barrass, Tommy Clarkson, Tom Rowe, Matthew Washbourne, Jordan Middleton, Jordan Davies, Jordan Palmer, Josh Watters, Joe Gray & Scott Treyhern.

Backs: Ollie Lewis, Will Nicot, Aaron Cookson, Hywel Baker, Arron Boswell, Ieuan Jenkins, Ben Lascelles, Andrew Skone, Leighton Heart and Gareth “Sparky” James. The Pembroke Dock Harlequins RFC are also delighted for three of their U16’s Players, who have recently been selected for the Scarlet’s U16’s West Squad. The Scarlet’s West Squad will be competing in the U16’s regional structure against: North Wales, Cardiff, Swansea, Newport & Scarlet’s East.

Manderwood Pembs Football League – Div 1: Tenby and Hakin continue title charges

Hakin United edge Carew in tight contest
Carew 0 – Hakin United 2

Hakin United kept the pressure on league leaders Goodwick United with a gritty 2-0 victory over Carew at the Gerald Hicks Memorial Ground. The second-placed Vikings remain firmly in the title race, poised to capitalize on any slip-ups by Goodwick.

The game was settled in the first half, with Ryan Wilson breaking the deadlock in the 15th minute. The Hakin captain connected with a pinpoint Shane Walsh cross to score from close range. Hakin doubled their advantage on the stroke of halftime when Wilson turned provider. He set up Alfie Stotter, who unleashed a stunning 25-yard strike that soared into the roof of Jack Harries’ net.

Despite Carew’s determined second-half efforts, there were no further goals, and Hakin secured their thirteenth win of the season.

Goodwick United narrowly beat Merlins Bridge
Goodwick United 1 – Merlins Bridge 0

Goodwick United clinched a vital 1-0 victory over Merlins Bridge in a hard-fought encounter at Phoenix Park. Although Goodwick dominated possession and created multiple chances, poor finishing meant they had to battle for the win.

The decisive moment came in the 29th minute when Luke Hayward’s well-delivered corner found Matty Delaney, who headed the ball into the net from close range. Goodwick struck the woodwork several times during the match, but their single goal proved enough to secure all three points.

Goodwick will be looking to sharpen their finishing ahead of their West Wales Intermediate Cup clash with Cwmamman United next Saturday.

Tenby too strong for Herbrandston
Herbrandston 0 – Tenby 10

Tenby United delivered a commanding 10-0 victory over bottom-placed Herbrandston in a one-sided affair. The visitors controlled proceedings from the outset, leading 3-0 at halftime before adding seven more goals in the second half.

Scott Ferney opened the scoring, followed by strikes from captain Daniel Storer and Jerome Williams. After the break, Ned Davies, Joe Leahy, and Ferney extended the lead, with Ferney netting his second consecutive hat-trick. Leahy added another to complete his brace, before Ferney scored his third to make it 8-0. Rhys Morgan and Jacob Hipkiss rounded off the rout with late goals.

The emphatic win keeps Tenby climbing the table, while Herbrandston remain without a point this season.
