Quins too good for Saints


Scrum: The scrums could not be contested
League 3 West
Pembroke Dock Quins 31
St Davids 0
PEMBROKE DOCK QUINS picked up a bonus point victory on Saturday as they thumped St Davids 31-0.
The game was the only one to be played in Pembrokeshire at the weekend as the pitch was deemed playable despite heavy and persistent rain. The conditions did not make things easy for the players but both put in battling performances and it was the Quins who proved too strong for a struggling Saints side.
It was the Quins who started the better on their own Bierspool pitch and were ahead early when Carl Williams touched down for the opening try before the conversion was missed. The Saints battled back but could not find a way over the line but they came up against constant pressure from the Quins. The Quins played well and came close to adding a second try but were held up by good defensive play from the Saints. That pressure finally told as the Quins did eventually score their second try when Jason Keates bundled his way over the line.Jonathan Rogers, playing with Narberth’s permission, took the conversion attempt but his effort was just wide of the posts.
Both sides battled away in the closing stages of the first half in the rain with the pitch continually cutting up. The Saints had a chance to get themselves on the scoresheet shortly before half time as they were given a penalty in front of the posts. John Miles took the kick but he slipped as he did which caused the ball to go wide of the posts to leave the half time score at 10-0 to the Quins. Early on in the second half Charlie Dearden raced clear for the Quins to touch down under the posts to make it 15-0 before Damien Miller slotted an easy conversion. Thomas Doyle then burst through in similar fashion to score his side’s fourth try, touching down under the posts once more with Miller successful with the conversion to make the score 24-0.
They had their fifth try soon after as the Saints failed to cope with the attacking threat from the Quins. Doyle again picked up the ball before running through to score with Miller adding the extra two points for a 31-0 scoreline. The Saints pushed for a late consolation but it never came as the Quins held on for their sixth win of the season.
The win cements their fourth place in the table and they will now be looking to push on towards the top three. On Saturday, the Quins face bottom side Llangwm while St Davids are at home to Neyland.

Double podium finish for local rally driver

A 20-HOUR round trip to Machrihanish Airbase in Campbeltown, Scotland, proved more than worthwhile for 17-year-old rally driver Henri Cynwyl, who returned to Wales with two podium finishes.
Henri, from Ponthirwaun, claimed third place on both days of competition in the British Junior Championship and the 1000cc Ecosse Challenge, strengthening his lead in the F1000 British Junior Championship.

The two-day Mach1 Stages Rally was organised by Dunfermline Car Club, with 31 F1000 members taking to the fast tarmac stages of the airbase, cheered on by a warm Scottish welcome.
“I’m really pleased,” said Henri, who was co-driven by Geraint Evans from Bala. “The stages were long, and I much prefer long stages to short ones as I get into a flow. The fast tarmac really suited my car.”
Now in his second and final year in the championship, Henri is backed by a number of local businesses from the Cardigan area.
“I’m so grateful to all of my sponsors and team,” he said. “The car is prepared by Castle Motors in Newcastle Emlyn, and we’ve just welcomed Pembrokeshire College as one of my new sponsors for 2025.”
Henri is currently undertaking an apprenticeship as an electrician with both Pembrokeshire College and DJ Hoyland.
The next round of the F1000 Championship will take place at Wheaton Barracks in Blackpool at the start of August.

Kilgetty AFC Women score new Lucozade kit thanks to Tenby Post Office Stores

Local nomination supports grassroots football in Pembrokeshire
KILGETTY AFC Women’s Team has received a brand-new Lucozade Sport Kit, thanks to a nomination by Tenby Post Office Stores and local supporter Fiona Malone.
The donation includes reusable drinks bottles, bibs, a football carrier bag, a kit bag, and bottles of Lucozade Sport – part of a UK-wide initiative that saw only ten teams selected to receive the sports kits.
‘A natural choice’
Fiona Malone, who nominated the team, said: “We were really happy to nominate Kilgetty AFC Women’s football team when we were asked by Lucozade. My son plays for Kilgetty Under-13s, and the whole club is incredibly inclusive, so when Lucozade asked, we immediately thought of the women’s team.”
The kit was officially handed over on Sunday (July 13) during the club’s Chwarae FOR HER Wales v England watch party at Kilgetty AFC Football Club, Kingsmoor Sports Club.
Team thanks local backers
A spokesperson for Kilgetty AFC Women said: “We are very grateful to receive all of the items from Tenby Post Office Stores and Lucozade. We particularly appreciate the reusable drinks bottles and Lucozade Sport drinks – we’ve been bringing our own, or using the men’s bottles. The bibs are great, and the new bags will be really useful. Thank you!”
Backed by the community
The women’s team continues to grow as part of the wider female football movement in Wales, supported by local businesses and groups. Ongoing kit sponsorship for the girls’ teams has come from Ty Francis and New York Welsh, while Tesco Stronger Starts funding and FAW grants have supported equipment and coach education.
The women’s team has also received training kit sponsorship from Kilgetty WI, and playing kit and volunteer support from Saundersfoot Rotary.
Each of these donations, including the new Lucozade kit, is helping transform grassroots football – building players’ skills, boosting confidence, and creating a stronger sense of belonging through sport.
