Hakin on brink of title

Published

on

Pennar Robins 1
Hakin United 4

HAKIN remain on course for the title as they proved too strong for Pennar Robins on Saturday.

Goals from Steven Mathias, Justin Harding, Ben Aldred and Nicky Woodrow helped them to a 4-1 victory.

The win means they are eight points clear of Merlins Bridge in second with the Bridge only having nine points left to play for .

After an even start Hakin took the lead with twenty minutes gone when Justin Harding side-footed home a cross from 8 yards out.

They doubled their lead five minutes later as Steve Mathias cut in from the wing before curling a shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.

The referee then spotted a handball in the area ten minutes before half time and Ben Steele stepped up to reduce the deficit.

The game was evenly poised going into the second half but Pennar were dealt a blow five minutes in when Richard Hughes was sent off for an off-the-ball incident.

Despite being down to ten men Pennar were still in the game and did have a couple of chances to equalise.

However, they ran out of steam in the closing stages and Hakin took full advantage to score two further goals.

Firstly, Ashley Bevan played the ball over the defenders for Nicky Woodrow who lobbed the Robins keeper.

Then in injury time Hakin broke and the ball fell to Ben Aldred who tapped in to make it 4-1.

Hakin are away to Goodwick in their next game while Pennar are at home to Neyland.

Hakin United would very much like to publicly thank Milford Perk for their very kind sponsorship of training tops.

Pennar Robins: Stuart James, Richard Hughes, Ross Lascelles, Gareth Lewis, Adam John, Luke Phillips, Ben Steele, Adam Cole, Dean Driscoll, Jimmy Walker, Sam Southcott. Subs: Patrick Mcdonagh, Dean Scourfield.

Goodwick United seal third consecutive league title

Published

on

Goodwick United 2 – Pennar Robins 0

GOODWICK United have been crowned league champions for the third season in a row, following a composed 2-0 victory over Pennar Robins.

Manager Chris O’Sullivan praised his side for getting “over the line” and is now urging them to complete the season unbeaten. Should they win their final two matches, Goodwick will have lost just once in three league campaigns—an extraordinary run that underlines their dominance in Pembrokeshire football.

After a tightly contested first half, the deadlock was broken three minutes after the restart. Will Haworth delivered a pinpoint cross that was met with a superb 12-yard volley from Matthew Delaney. The lead was doubled in the 68th minute when midfielder Rhys Jones curled a trademark free-kick into the bottom corner, sparking early title celebrations.

Goodwick’s dominance in recent seasons has been nothing short of remarkable. With just one league defeat in three years, they are now pushing to go down as one of the county’s all-time great sides.


Merlins Bridge cruise as Milford United turn attention to Cup

Merlins Bridge 4 – Milford United 1

MERLINS Bridge made light work of struggling Milford United, sealing a comfortable win at the Pembrokeshire Sports Village to claim their eighth league victory of the season.

The Wizards took control late in the first half, with Jason Griffiths smashing in a volley from Nathan Evans’ cross before Jordan Thomas added a second moments later, glancing in a Hayden Dimond free-kick.

Milford showed some resilience after the break and pulled one back on 63 minutes when Scott Reid slotted home following a clever assist from Joey Jones. But the hosts hit back almost immediately, with Nathan Evans finishing from close range. Substitute Ben Davies, returning from injury, completed the scoring in stoppage time after an unselfish square ball from Dimond.

Although league survival appears unlikely for The Robins, their attention now turns to the Senior Cup Final, where they face fierce rivals Hakin United in a bid to salvage their season with silverware.


Devonald’s late equaliser lifts St Ishmaels in relegation scrap

St Ishmaels 2 – Kilgetty 2

A LAST-GASP strike from captain Brennan Devonald kept St Ishmaels’ survival hopes alive, as they clawed back a vital point after trailing Kilgetty by two goals.

Teenager Mason Abbott looked to have secured all three points for the visitors with a goal in each half, putting Kilgetty firmly in control. But Tish weren’t done. They reduced the deficit when Kyle Marsh scored past his brother—Kilgetty goalkeeper Kurtis Marsh—in a family twist to the relegation drama.

Then, deep into stoppage time, Devonald pounced on a loose ball to fire home a dramatic equaliser, sparking jubilant scenes and securing what could be a crucial point in their battle for safety.

St Ishmaels are now three points clear of the drop zone, but must await other results to confirm their survival.


Leahy double pushes Carew closer to danger

Tenby 3 – Carew 1

TENBY delivered a commanding second-half performance to defeat local rivals Carew, who now sit just two points above the relegation places.

Shaun Whitfield set up Jonty Bennett to open the scoring for the hosts in the 17th minute, but Carew responded swiftly. Former Tenby man Curtis Hurlow levelled matters after good work from Jerome Williams.

The second half, however, belonged to Joe Leahy. The Tenby striker struck in the 57th and 81st minutes with two composed finishes, sealing all three points for The Seasiders and leaving Carew looking nervously over their shoulders.


Relegation picture: Advantage Tish as Milford target cup glory

St Ishmaels’ dramatic draw leaves them in a stronger position in the fight for survival, three points clear of the relegation zone with just one game remaining. While their fate isn’t yet sealed, the late equaliser could prove decisive.

Milford United, meanwhile, face near-certain relegation, but their attention is now firmly fixed on the Senior Cup Final. A win over Hakin United would offer a welcome silver lining to a difficult season and the chance to lift silverware against their greatest rivals.

Llanybydder edge past Llangwm in spirited clash

Published

Llangwm 17 – Llanybydder 19

IN A fiercely contested battle at Pill Parks, Llanybydder secured their second win of the season, narrowly overcoming Llangwm in a match that showcased the grit and determination of two sides rooted near the bottom of Division Four (West) A.

Despite difficult campaigns for both clubs—this season and in recent years—their continued commitment to the game is a testament to the enduring spirit of Welsh grassroots rugby. These are the clubs where many begin their journey, and their dedication week in, week out deserves recognition.

Although Llangwm outscored their opponents three tries to two, it was Llanybydder who emerged victorious, capitalising on key moments and punishing their hosts’ ill-discipline.

Llanybydder, who had already beaten The Wasps 24-20 earlier in the season, took a 13-5 lead into the break thanks to tries from Mathew Rollins and Osian Roberts, with Roberts also adding a penalty. Their defence, bolstered by several permit players, stood firm under pressure, with captain Jack Evans once again leading from the front.

Llangwm responded through Ethan Edwards, playing on permit from Amman United, who crossed for an unconverted try in the first half.

The Wasps looked brighter after the restart, scoring twice through Dan Richards—finishing a fine team move—and Josh Griffiths. One of the tries was converted by Breig Matthews. However, their inability to convert early pressure into points ultimately cost them. Dominating the first quarter, they camped on Llanybydder’s line but came away empty-handed—a factor that loomed large in the final outcome.

Two second-half penalties from Osian Roberts proved decisive, sealing a hard-earned 19-17 win for the visitors.

Llanybydder will now avoid finishing bottom of the table, while both teams can take pride in their performances in what has been a testing season.

Vikings too strong for Dafen Welfare in quarter-final clash

Dafen Welfare 1 – Hakin United 3

HAKIN United booked their place in the semi-finals of the West Wales Intermediate Cup with a confident 3-1 victory away at Dafen Welfare on Saturday.

The win sets up a mouthwatering semi-final encounter with St Josephs, who knocked out Goodwick United in the previous round.

It was captain Ryan Wilson who opened the scoring for the Vikings in the 18th minute, lashing home from the edge of the area after a neat lay-off from Shane Walsh.

Dafen levelled 20 minutes later through Elliott Jones, whose superb 20-yard free-kick left the keeper rooted to the spot.

But the visitors responded in style. Liam Parks restored Hakin’s lead just before the break, racing onto a Jack Britton through ball and rifling a shot into the top corner.

Midway through the second half, Britton got on the scoresheet himself, heading in from close range after a goalmouth scramble to make it 3-1.

Dafen’s hopes of a comeback were dashed in stoppage time when Scott Evans received a second yellow card, leaving the home side down to ten men.

Hakin saw out the closing minutes with composure, sealing a deserved win and keeping their cup dreams alive.
