Assist: Joe John wins the ball before running on to set up the first goal

Johnston 3 

Herbrandston 3 

JOHNSTON missed the chance to close the gap on the top two as Joe George squandered a late penalty in their 3-3 draw with Herbrandston on Saturday. 

The home side took an early lead but were stunned as Herbie came back to lead 2-1 at the break. Johnston equalised in the second half only for Herbie to ahead once more.

Ryan Doyle equalised for the Tigers again but Joe George’s late penalty was saved and both sides were forced to settle for a point.

The Tigers started the game well with Pembrokeshire League top scorer Adam Hawkins going close with a shot which flew just over the bar.

With twenty minutes gone Johnston went ahead in fine fashion as Joe John won the ball in midfield before running on to supply a cross to the back post for Adam Hawkins who volleyed the ball into the bottom left corner of the net.

However, just moments later, Herbie were back level as a corner from the left hand side went all the way to the back post where it found Chris Phillips who could only head the ball against the bar and into his own net.

Joe George was also a threat for the home side but he saw his effort squirm under the Herbie keeper but wide for a corner.

On the half hour mark tempers flared as a late tackle on Adam Hawkins went unpunished. Hawkins responded with a strong tackle of his own leading to a melee with a number of players.

After the referee had calmed things down Hawkins was shown a yellow for his part while Scott Murray and Herbie’s Adrian Rees were also booked for their part in the aftermath.

Eight minutes before half time Herbie took the lead when the ball was played in to the box but when Johnston attempted to clear the ball it was kicked straight against Alex Ouzman and the ball flew into the net.

Johnston brought on two new faces for the start of the second half but it was two familiar faces who got their side back level.

Ten minutes in Adam Hawkins ran to the by-line before crossing into the box for Joe John at the back post who poked the ball into the net.

Herbie responded in excellent fashion and went ahead just a minute later as Alex Ouzman’s low shot hit the post but the rebound was tapped in by Shane Walsh.

With twenty minutes of the second half gone Johnston equalised once more through substitute Ryan Doyle.

They were given a penalty moments later but Joe George’s kick was saved by the legs of Herbie keeper Gareth Marshallsay.

The Tigers were well on top in the final stages and came close to a goal when Ben Phillips’ header crashed back off the bar.

Steven Mills also had a late chance for the home side but his effort went over the bar.

Herbie also had a late chance to win it when Shane Walsh broke free into the area but his shot was saved by Johnston keeper Josh Pearce.

The referee brought an entertaining game to an end with both sides settling for a point.

The result keeps Johnston third but they are now four points off the top two.

Herbrandston will welcome the point as they look to take themselves away from the league’s bottom two.

On Saturday, Johnston are in action away to St Clears while Herbie are away to bottom side Carew.

Double podium finish for local rally driver

Published

on

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.
