50-50: Both players are committed to going for the ball

HAKIN UNITED put in a dominant performance as they beat Milford United 7-0 at the Observatory Field on Saturday.

Both sides gave their all in the derby but it was Milford who had a shocker on Halloween night as they failed to cope with Hakin’s attack.

Within the opening twenty seconds Milford almost shocked the Vikings but Neil Mathias shot wide of the left hand post.

However, with only four minutes gone, Hakin opened the scoring as Scott Reid headed the ball on for Adam Davies who rounded the keeper before firing low into the bottom left corner.

Milford had a chance to equalise with seventeen minutes gone but Ryan Wilson’s free kick was brilliantly tipped over by Hakin keeper James Manson.

Just a minute later Hakin doubled their lead when Scott Reid tapped in after Milford’s keeper Andrew Fairburn fumbled the ball from Adam Davies’ shot.

Scott Reid was on the score sheet again four minutes later, cheekily beating the keeper from close range to secure his brace.

Milford looked to get back in the game and almost did with 23 minutes gone. Liam Davies crossed from the right and Chris Thompson arrived to volley the ball towards goal but his effort was again well saved by Hakin keeper Manson.

With half an hour gone Hakin scored their fourth of the match as Scott Reid capitalised on another fumble to knock the ball home for his hat trick.

Shortly before half time, James Manson pumped the ball up field into the Milford box but as Adam Davies went to head the ball he was taken out by the Milford keeper and the referee awarded a penalty.

Nicky Woodrow stepped up to take the spot kick but his effort bounced back off the post and was cleared away from danger.

On the stroke of half time Hakin did add their fifth goal of the game when Matthew Broome cut inside from the right and shot low into the bottom corner.

Milford faced an uphill battle in the second half but battled well despite constant Hakin pressure.

Early in the second half, Hakin’s Daniel Armstrong was lucky not to be show a red card, as, already on a yellow, he committed another cynical foul for which the referee allowed play to go on.

When the play was halted, the referee had a word with Armstrong with Milford players reminding the ref he had already been booked.

There was no second yellow but Armstrong was subbed to keep him out of trouble.

Neil Mathias had a chance to pull a goal back for Milford but his curled effort went over the bar.

Twenty minutes into the second half Hakin scored their sixth of the match as Nicky Woodrow bundled the ball home.

Sub James Stanmore then tried his luck from outside the box but his effort was deflected into the side netting as Hakin continued to push forward.

The home side were forced to finish the game with ten men, as, having made all substitutions, Adam Davies went off with an injury to his hamstring.

With fourteen minutes to go, Hakin added their seventh goal of the match. Matthew Broome beat the defender to the loose ball before poking the ball beyond Milford’s keeper.

Broome almost had a hat-trick three minutes later but his shot from the edge of the box went wide.

Hakin saw out the remaining minutes to complete a comfortable victory which sees them move up to fourth in the table.

Milford are in league action next Saturday as they are at home to Angle.

On Saturday, Hakin are at home again as they take on Narberth in the second round of the West Wales Cup.

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.
